Our Tallahassee dental office offers a full range of cosmetic services to help you transform your smile and boost self-confidence. But as great as those services are, there’s no substitute for great preventive care, on your end and our end.
Preventive care can help us identify tooth decay, gum disease, or even signs of oral cancer. And catching these early not only boosts your oral health—your entire body benefits as well. That’s why we’re firm believers in regular, six-month visits. Because the more we know about your teeth and gums, the better we can preserve your smile for years to come.
From Your First Visit—and Beyond!
Whether it’s your first visit with us or your 20th, the first thing we’ll do when you come in is just talk to you and find out how you’re doing. We want to know your concerns, your thoughts, and what changes you’ve noticed in your smile as we begin a tooth-by-tooth inspection. We’ll also use X-rays to help us get an even better idea of how to help you.
What are we looking for? In addition to checking for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer, we’re also looking for signs of bruxism or TMJ dysfunction. And of course, your checkup isn’t complete without a cleaning. Brushing and flossing are vital for maintaining your optimal oral health, but even the most vigilant brushers and flossers sometimes need help with the mouth’s hard-to-reach areas.
Smiling Bright into the Future
We all know how important regular visits are, but sometimes they just aren’t a priority. If you’ve missed your six-month exam, or have one coming up, contact our office to schedule an appointment. We’re dedicated to preserving and protecting your smile!
