Fall is a great time of the year for a few reasons. The weather is finally starting to cool off a little, and there are endless opportunities to have fun with your family. If you are looking for a way to better enjoy this autumnal season, start it off right with a meeting with your oral health team to talk about how to renew your smile. They can help you to understand how to strengthen your smile, and also, look your best as you heat into the holidays.
Here at Dental Impressions of Ankeny, we understand the value of having a quality smile. We also want members of our community to feel like they have the tools that they need to experience positive oral health. That’s why we wake up in the morning, to help people to understand how to better care for their smile, and we can help you, too.

Your Consistency In Checkups Is Key
You need to see the dentist at least twice each year for a cleaning and examination. For most people, that means sticking to a schedule of six-month appointments, but some people can require an accelerated schedule of treatment. The important thing is to talk to your provider about your timeline of care, and then stick to it as best as possible. We know that your biannual checkups may feel easy to reschedule, but when you do, you put your smile at risk.
While you wait, bacterial buildup starts to occur in areas where your brushing and flossing is simply not getting the job done. This causes tooth decay, gum disease, and more. When plaque hardens into tartar, you can no longer remove it on your own, and at this point, you need to talk to your dentist about removing your biofilm accumulation.
Talk To Your Dentist About Cosmetic Changes
Your routine oral health appointments are not only for your prevention. They can also be a great time to talk about any cosmetic improvements that you have been thinking of, including cosmetic teeth whitening and porcelain veneers. While there have been many new over-the-counter treatment options to lift stains from enamel, none of them come with the training and experience of a trusted oral health provider, so start your journey off right with a discussion at the dentist.
