It is important to schedule your dental cleanings every six months. These visits can contribute to your overall health. Regular dental exams can:

• Help you maintain your oral health
• Find problems with your teeth and gums before causing you pain
• Identify warning signs of other health conditions unrelated to your teeth
• Provide a place to go if you do have a dental emergency

Make a habit to schedule your dental cleanings twice a year. If you are unable to keep your appointment please notify your dental office prior to your appointment to reschedule.
