Checkups

How Often Should I See the Dentist for a Check Up and Cleaning?
Most children and adults should see their dentist for a regular cleaning and check up every six months. People at a greater risk for oral diseases should have dental check ups more than twice a year.

Tobacco and alcohol use, diabetes, pregnancy, periodontal and gum disease, poor oral hygiene and certain medical conditions are some of the many factors that your dentist takes into consideration when deciding how often you need your dental cleaning and check up.

Going to your regular check ups will help to keep your gums and teeth healthy as well as detect any early problems such as gum disease, oral cancer and cavities. The best way to maintain good oral health is to visit your dentist on a regular basis.

Children’s Dentistry

Healthy teeth are important to your child's overall health. From the time your child is born, there are things you can do to promote healthy teeth. For babies, you should clean teeth with a soft, clean cloth or baby's toothbrush. Avoid putting the baby to bed with a bottle and check teeth regularly for spots or stains.
For all children, you should:

• Brush teeth with a fluoride toothpaste
• Provide healthy foods and limit sweet snacks and drinks
• Provide low-fat milk and dairy products high in calcium
• Schedule regular dental check-ups

Forming good habits at a young age can help your child have healthy teeth for life.

Sealants

Dental sealants (also termed tooth sealants) can play an important role in helping to prevent
tooth decay ("cavities") in some locations on teeth.
Placing sealants involves bonding a plastic coating into the grooves of a tooth (the tooth's pits and fissures).
The net result is a smoother tooth surface. One that is less likely to harbor food and plaque, and easier to
clean with a toothbrush.

Fluoride Treatment

The mineral fluoride is very important for healthy teeth. Are you getting enough for optimal dental health?
New research shows that everyone can benefit from fluoride. Experts used to think that fluoride worked mainly
by strengthening teeth while they were still developing. This meant that children were the focus of fluoridation
efforts. Studies now show that topical fluoride — the kind in fluoride treatments — helps fight decay in people
of all ages.

Athletic Mouthguards

Using mouth guards during sports or athletic activity can help prevent dental damage.
They can also be worn at night to prevent teeth grinding.
