There are many reasons why any patient should come into our office for a dental checkup and cleaning. The fact is, you can’t see everything going on in your mouth just by looking in the mirror alone. Unless you can turn your head almost the entire way around like an owl, there’s simply no way to keep a close eye on everything going on in your mouth. Sure, you may be able to spot signs of cavity development, but you won’t be able to see the back teeth as clearly.
Our Pasadena office has the general dentistry services you can count on. Did you know most of preventive dentistry occurs when you’re at home? Part of general dentistry is teaching our patients proper dental hygiene habits and taking them home to perfect their technique. Having good dental hygiene can go a long way in keeping your oral health operating at maximum efficiency. If it’s been awhile since you’ve had your teeth checked, it’s time to take action. There could be problems forming and you won’t have the slightest idea. Come into our office and get the special treatment during a dental checkup. We’ll ensure your mouth stay as healthy as possible. Dr. Holmes and Dr. Revel are the dentists Pasadena, TX residents can trust for fantastic dental service.
Dental Checkups Are Important
It’s commonly accepted that you should visit the dentist at least every six months. That’s it – twice a year. This can give us a great idea of what’s going on in your mouth and if problem areas need to be addressed. It isn’t just us that agrees that you should come in twice a year – the American Dental Association also makes the same recommendation.
A general checkup involves us inspecting your soft tissues for any signs of oral cancer, gum disease and additional problems. Each tooth will be thoroughly inspected for signs of tooth decay, cracks, fractures and more. Previous dental work will also be examined to ensure it isn’t posing any problems inside your mouth. Old metal fillings, inlays and onlays, crowns and more can be replaced with beautiful, tooth-colored alternatives.
Large dental problems are avoided when you come in for a dental checkup. Let’s use small cavities as an example. If they’re left to grow without any treatment, it can put you at risk of receiving a root canal down the road. Cavities don’t form quickly, but they can increase in size if nothing is done. It isn’t just your tooth you need to worry about – the surrounding area is put at risk as well. Cracked teeth and other ailments can all leave your oral health in bad shape. We want you to smile big with a set of pearly whites that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
