Preventative dental exams
The importance of preventative dental exams cannot be underestimated. During this exam, your Scottsdale dentist will take dental X-rays, measure your gum pockets, perform an oral cancer screening, and check for any other oral health issues that may be present. These annual exams allow Dr. Sluyk to detect the earliest signs of gum disease and tooth decay, meaning you can potentially avoid costlier and more invasive procedures down the line.
Professional dental cleanings
Your professional dental cleaning is one of the most important parts of general dentistry. Even if you have the most exquisite oral hygiene routine, you still shouldn’t skip your professional teeth cleaning. While brushing and flossing go a long way toward removing plaque buildup on your teeth, when that plaque starts to harden in the hard-to-reach places, it turns into tartar, and you need a dental professional to remove it. If the tartar buildup isn’t removed, it can cause serious long-term damage to your teeth and gums.
How often should you see the dentist?
Most people can get away with visiting the dentist twice a year. If you need more frequent appointments, Dr. Sluyk, your Scottsdale dentist will let you know. However, it’s safe to say that if you’ve not had a cleaning for more than six months, it’s a good idea to schedule one.
