When Was The Last Time You Visited?
If your teeth feel fine, you might feel like you can skip your regular visits. Unfortunately, teeth that look and feel alright could still be hiding problems, like tooth decay and gum disease. Your health is important, which is why it’s essential to get regular dental health checks.

Visit the Dentist Every 6 Months
When you see us on a regular basis, we’re almost certain to catch any oral health issues early, while treatment is usually easier on your body and your wallet. Skipping a visit or two could be just enough time for a small problem to turn into a major health threat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to keep your dental appointments even when your teeth look and feel healthy.
Here’s a reminder of what we do during your routine visits:
Check Your Teeth, Gums, and Mouth for Disease
It’s good to check up on your dental health, even if you feel fine. Sometimes, trouble is brewing under the surface or decay is lurking in the very back, where you can’t see by looking in the mirror at home. Often, early signs of oral disease are painless or almost imperceptible to the naked eye. That’s why we use X-rays, digital imaging, and screenings to detect a variety of issues, and early detection means early treatment. Keeping up our bi-annual cadence allows us to see things you might not notice until they’ve become big problems.
Clean Everything Your Toothbrush and Floss Missed
Brushing and flossing are great, and we know you’re on top of that, but plaque still builds up over time. Our professional tools can deal with that buildup much more effectively than anything you can do at home — even a high-end electric toothbrush won’t get all the plaque. To properly tackle the yellowing and decay caused by buildup, you need to see us for a professional cleaning.
Has It Been a While?
Why not check your calendar and see when your next visit is scheduled? If you don’t see one, then that’s a sign to give our office a call. Remember, we should be seeing each other at least twice a year.
Got Kids? Let’s get their visits scheduled too. Healthy habits now will stick with them as they grow and into adulthood. So, let’s get them on the path to excellent oral health today.
Call our office located in Kewaskum, WI, and one of our team members will be more than happy to help schedule your next appointment. We look forward to seeing you!
