Please, Don’t Skip the Dentist
We know you take excellent care of your teeth at home, and we appreciate your dedication to your personal oral health. However, even the most thorough home oral hygiene routine cannot eliminate all the plaque that forms on your teeth. Only a professional cleaning can do that. Plus, when you visit us for a cleaning, we check for signs of decay, uneven wear, gum disease, bone loss, and oral cancer. These checks are essential for maintaining good oral health and the health of your entire body.
Why You Should Get a Checkup Every 6 Months
Preventive Care Saves Time & Money
Dentistry is one area of medicine that promotes preventive care for better oral and overall health. By exercising regular preventive care, your teeth and mouth stay healthier overall. It is no secret that well care, aka preventive care, costs significantly less for patients than emergency care. Additionally, spending an hour in our office twice a year is much easier to fit into your schedule than having to book multiple appointments over a short period because you need extensive treatment.
Your Oral Health is Important
Regular preventive care at our office lowers your risk of oral diseases like tooth decay, tooth loss, and gum disease. It also lowers your risk of other serious illnesses. When you take care of your teeth and mouth, you are also helping to protect your body against:
- Endocarditis
- Cardiovascular disease
- Pneumonia and respiratory infections in general
- Kidney disease
- Osteoporosis
- Dementia
We Miss You!
You are more than a patient to us. We care about you, your health, and your well-being. Not only do we enjoy seeing your beautiful smile when you visit, but seeing us every 6 months for a dental checkup also helps you live a healthier life, free from oral disease and all the complications associated with it.
If it’s been a while since your last checkup, please call our friendly team at our office located in New Braunfels, TX to request an appointment for a cleaning and examination. We look forward to seeing you soon!
