Time for A Spring Cleaning

Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time to give your wardrobe and house a refresh. Don’t forget to include your oral health on your spring cleaning to-do list, as well. A biannual dental visit can help keep your teeth clean, happy, and healthy. The team at Friendly Dental in Lancaster, OH, is here today with a few reasons to come in for your appointment soon.

Feel Fresh For The New Season

In general, it’s recommended that you visit your dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and examination. These appointments are beneficial for several reasons, including keeping your smile clean and detecting problems early on. When you come in for your visit, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned by one of our skilled hygienists. The process helps to remove plaque and prevent cavities. After this, your dentist will carefully examine your smile to look for signs of cavities, gingivitis, oral cancer, and other changes to your health. Dental appointments should begin during your early childhood and continue throughout your adulthood. If it’s been a while since your last visit, our team is here to help make a positive impact on your oral health.

Detect And Treat Issues Sooner

We also use your dental examination to detect oral health issues as early as possible. Often, common issues like cavities and gum disease don’t show noticeable signs until much later. So if you don’t see your dentist regularly, you may not notice a problem. However, by coming in for your examination twice a year, your dentist can help spot cavities early and treat them promptly. An improved oral hygiene routine may even reverse early signs of decay in some cases. A lifelike dental filling can restore a cavity, protecting your smile and enhancing its appearance.

Plan Cosmetic Treatments Before The Summer

As summer approaches, we know you want to look and feel your best. This is a great time to plan cosmetic treatments to ensure they are complete in time for your summer vacation. Whether you have concerns about discoloration in your smile or would like to improve the alignment of your teeth, we have options for you. Your checkup is a wonderful time to ask your dentist about potential treatment options. A simple and quick teeth whitening treatment can help remove stains from your teeth and leave you feeling more confident. We also offer options like Invisalign and Six Month Smiles to begin working towards a straighter smile. Learn more about your options by talking to our team.
