Regular Checkups Are important!

Are you brushing your teeth twice a day? If yes, that’s great; but, don’t forget that it’s also important to visit the dentist every six months in addition to your orthodontic visits. Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. Your dentist can:

• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and early signs of decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth

During an oral exam the doctor will check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not been to the dentist in the last six months, it’s time for you to schedule an appointment!

If you have patients who are having difficulty getting into the habit of flossing, have them visit www.gripit.biz to see Gripit Floss Holders in action. Our family company makes these handy devices and many customers tell us they now floss regularly with Gripits because they don't have to put their fingers into their mouths.
