Don't brush off your regular checkups with your dentist! Recall appointments are essential to preserving great oral health. We encourage recall appointments at least once every six months. Visiting the dentist twice a year is essential because your dentist are able to:

• exam for periodontal disease that you might not see or feel
• discover early signs of tooth decay
• treat oral health problems early

Recall appointments include a thorough cleaning, polishing, and an oral exam by the dentist. During the oral exam, the dentist checks the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. The dentist also examines old fillings and restorations because constant pressure from chewing, grinding, or clenching can casue them to wear away, chip, or crack.
