Routine Dental care in Oak Leaf
Stay Healthy With Preventative Dentistry
The American Dental Association believes you should visit a dentist every six months. At Red Oak Smile Center, we understand you may be wary of the cost and time commitment required to stay up to date with your oral hygiene. Much like other forms of medicine, preventative treatments are cheaper than trying to fix a problem after it has occurred. Dr. Khalid Sadeddin recommends biannual teeth cleaning and a checkup to keep abreast of potential dental problems.
What Is Preventative Dentistry?
Often described as a routine checkup, preventative treatments are undertaken to keep your teeth healthy. Preventing infection and tooth decay is an important part of your oral healthcare routine. Your routine examination will help Dr. Sadeddin identify any dental problems before they become an issue and allow you to undergo the correct treatment.
Your routine checkup with Dr. Sadeddin will allow him to become familiar with your teeth and identify any changes. Any changes will be explored by Dr. Sadeddin and treated effectively.
The Benefits of Teeth Cleaning
Cleaning by a hygienist under the supervision of Dr. Sadeddin will help your smile remain bright and healthy. Alongside brushing twice daily, you should undergo a professional cleaning twice a year. The benefits of cleaning include:
- Having fresher breath
- Identifying cancer risks
- Preventing gum disease
Sadly, statistics show one U.S. citizen dies from oral cancer every hour. Regularly attending routine checkups and teeth cleaning can help identify problems early. A brighter smile and the all-clear from your dentist help you to feel confident in your oral health.
Most dental insurance plans cover the cost of cleaning and preventative dentistry to help avoid higher costs further down the line.
Why Is Preventative Dentistry Important?
Oral health problems that are not identified and treated early may lead to long-term issues. Not only are long-term oral health issues expensive to treat, but they can lead to lost teeth. A loss of teeth will result in dentures or a false tooth being needed to replace the lost tooth. The risk of losing teeth is reduced when you regularly attend routine preventative treatments at Red Oak Smile Center.
Improving your smile and avoiding long-term issues is Dr. Sadeddin's aim for all patients. When you are ready to explore your options for preventative dentistry, call Red Oak Smile Center in Oak Leaf at (469) 820-9677 and discuss your options for teeth cleaning and a routine checkup.
