Regular visits to the dentist are important because they allow your dentist to spot potential problems, which may be harder to treat if discovered later. You can protect your family's dental health by setting an example of good habits like regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.

Preventive Services

When it comes to your teeth, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Daily brushing and flossing is important, but it’s not always enough. Your mouth and your teeth influence the health of the rest of your body, so it’s important to see your dentist regularly. The American Dental Association recommends normal checkups at least once or twice a year; however, some individuals may need to see their dentist a little more frequently. Your dentist can give you personalized recommendations.

Regular dental visits can help us stay on the lookout for potential problems. In addition, to complete exams with X-rays, we offer fluoride treatments, cleanings, and everything else to keep your teeth happy and whole. And we focus on keeping you comfortable, so you’ll keep coming back to see us.

To prevent oral disease, young children should start seeing the dentist around 6 months old. The best thing you can do to create healthy habits for your children is to set a good example yourself. That includes a routine of proper brushing and flossing and regular checkups at HCHC.
