Have you ever thought about the benefits of your routine dental exam and cleaning?  Most people often see their dental appointment as another event on their calendar.  Visiting your dentist routinely is much more than a regularly scheduled meeting it is taking a proactive step to ensure your oral and physical health.

Why is a Regular Dental Exam and Cleaning Essential to Your Oral Health?

Besides giving you a fresh, clean smile, your exam and cleaning give you and your dentist a better understanding of your current oral health.  Advantages of regular dental visits include:

• Deeper Cleaning of Your Teeth and Gums: Dental hygienists are able to clean away plaque buildup and hardened tartar that is unable to be properly removed at home. Dentists and hygienists use special instruments to remove the build-up. It’s best to let a professional handle the situation in removing this nasty buildup that is responsible for a host of problems including gum disease and tooth decay.
• Increased Knowledge of Your Oral Health: Dental visits provide the dentist an opportunity to fully examine your mouth and review your current routine – giving tips, tricks or recommendations that you may be able to benefit from. Dental examinations combined with x-rays allow Dr. Kashani to view the deeper parts of your teeth and gums for early detection and an overall better prognosis if any abnormalities are found.
• Maintain Your Elegant Smile: This relates to excellent oral hygiene, but regular dental cleanings and exams keep your smile healthy by promoting an environment that is free from diseases. Dr. Kashani would be happy to discuss any personal needs regarding your mouth during a regular dental cleaning.
