If you're brushing twice a day - and flossing - during your treatment, that's excellent!
But, it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist dentist every six months in addition to brushing your teeth a couple times a day (and visiting Dr. McClellan regularly during your treatment). After all, our staff will tell you regular dental checkups are vital for maintaining good oral health. Your dentist can:
• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and signs of tooth decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth during your treatment
During an oral exam, your dentist will check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning/polishing. If you have not been to the dentist in the past six months, it’s time for you to schedule an appointment!
If you don't have a general dentist in Kenilworth or nearby communities, please ask us, and we will be happy to provide a few names for you! We hope you're having an outstanding summer!!
