If you have been skipping your appointments at the dentist, you could be struggling with plaque and tartar accumulation. When this happens, you put your smile at risk of common oral health-related issues like tooth decay and periodontal disease, so it is important to keep to your schedule of biannual checkups and cleanings. These visits do more than you may think to fight off serious dental damage, so if you cannot remember the last time you were in the office, take the time to talk to your dentist about getting back to a positive pathway of prevention.

We also understand that time can slip away from us all, and we are here to help people with all levels of oral health.

If you are ready to refresh your smile, call our office today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Foust, D.D.S.!
When Was Your Last Biannual Checkup?
If you are having a tough time remembering your last dental visit, it is probably time to schedule your next one. Most people need to see their dentist at least twice each calendar year, and this means that if you have not been in for a cleaning and an examination yet in 2024, then you are running behind. This can lead to some serious oral health issues if you do not find your way back to the right path, so make an effort and schedule your next biannual checkup.
While you wait, your oral health responsibility falls solely on your own shoulders. This is too much for you to effectively handle on your own, so we are here to help you where your routine brushing and flossing falls short. Plus, you can ask all of your oral health questions with a face-to-face discussion with your dentist.
A Dental Cleaning Helps You Fight Back Against Bacteria
When you come into the office for a routine cleaning and examination, the removal of harmful bacterial biofilm is a huge part. This step helps you to be free of plaque and tartar development that has happened since the last time that you were in the office. With a dedicated dental cleaning for above, at, and below the gumline, you can be sure that you are doing what you need to maintain your oral health.
