Do you ever feel the desire to just skip a dental checkup every now and again? Perhaps you feel convinced they are simply not a necessary part of taking care of yourself. We understand the desire to keep your free time to yourself – however, we suggest you consider a few compelling reminders about what makes checkups so essential to maintaining a beautiful, truly healthy smile.

Reminder #1: Everyone Needs Them

Are you skipping your dental checkup because you’re an adult, you take good care of your teeth, and you figure you just don’t need dental exams anymore unless something doesn’t feel right? Do you have a child whose teeth look healthy, so you figure you will wait until his or her permanent teeth develop? As it turns out, everyone over the age of one requires consistent checkups for proper growth and to protect teeth from problems.

Reminder #2: Checkups Are Thorough

If you have ever convinced yourself that you can probably look at your teeth just as well as we can – think again. We provide you with comprehensive checkups that include our expert viewing of your oral cavity with the added assistance of advanced imaging. We will gather a complete understanding of your oral health for precise strategies to improve or protect your smile.

Reminder #3: Only Good Can Come From Them

You might not like the idea of scheduling a dental checkup because you worry we will discover that something is going poorly with your oral health. You would, instead, prefer to avoid learning about the issue. In this instance, we urge you to consider the long-term goal. When we find and treat a problem early, you have a greatly increased chance of recovering fully and quickly. Keep your eye on the end goal of excellent oral health!
