You live with your smile each and every day, and it helps to have one that’s beautiful and strong. Keeping up with your oral health takes some effort, though, and if you have been skipping your regular appointments with your provider, it could be tougher than it needs to be.

Your Gum Health Matters. Could It Use Some Help?
When you think about your smile, your teeth are probably the first things that come to mind. This is completely reasonable, as they are the stars of the show. But there are other areas of your mouth that also do hard work for you, starting with your gums. Your periodontal tissue provides serious support for your teeth, and so you want to keep them clean and safe.
At your biannual dental checkup, you will receive a dedicated cleaning of your teeth and your gumline. This process helps to remove plaque and tartar buildup, which serves to help you avoid gingivitis and periodontal disease. While we know that you are spending enough time on your brushing and flossing, it is helpful to have a professional keep your smile clean. Everyone has places that they miss!
You Checkup Is Your Chance For A Conversation
While you are in the dental chair, you have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with your dentist. This part of your checkup is often overlooked, but there is real value in being able to meet with your provider to talk about your smile needs. Take advantage of it.
You can ask about different ways to approach your flossing in order to be more effective. Or if you are thinking about cosmetic dentistry, now is your chance to talk about your possibilities!
