\nRegular dental cleanings prevent tartar from eroding teeth or creating holes in them, which is how cavities are created.<\/p>\n
\nWith regular dental checkups every six months the likelihood of catching oral cancer in time is dramatically higher.<\/p>\n
\nRegular dental cleanings are essential in catching and addressing gingivitis also known as gum disease.<\/p>\n
\nDental x-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that provides valuable information about the teeth and surrounding structures that may not be visibly apparent during a regular oral exam.<\/p>\n
\nAt your check up your neck, jaw, and lymph nodes, located just below your jawline, are checked for any swelling, lumps, or other abnormalities, which if found, could signal a major health issue.<\/p>\n
\nRegular dental check-ups are essential in catching periodontitis, a serious gum infection that damages gums and can destroy the jawbone. Periodontitis is the #1 cause of tooth loss in the world.
