Why Routine Dental Cleanings & Exams Are So Important

We hear many times from our patients at Carolina Dentistry @ The StateLine how patients have neglected their dental health. Often times they didn’t mean to skip cleanings & exams while other times they didn’t understand the importance of routine dental care. Our bodies are much like vehicles, requiring constant care & attention to run at their best ability. Think about it, if you never changed the oil in your car would it break down? If you never rotated the tires would they last as long? You probably answered no to these questions. Why then do we skip routine dental cleanings & exams and expect are teeth and gums to be at optimal health? Dental cleanings are more  thorough than you yourself are able to provide. Our licensed registered dental hygienists at Carolina Dentistry @ The StateLine are able to detect & properly remove tartar. Tartar left below the gums causes irritation & periodontal disease. Tartar and debris above the gum line can cause painful gum irritation. Not only do our hygienists provide thorough cleanings, they are also the eyes needed to detect periodontal disease. Periodontal disease left untreated can lead to tooth loss. The ability to detect and treat periodontal disease during the early stages is crucial to your overall health and the longevity of your dental health. Don’t put off something that can potentially save you time, money & most importantly your teeth. Call today to schedule your appointment at Carolina Dentistry @ The StateLine. We offer accommodating hours & the customer service you deserve.
