We all know the paramount importance of oral health. That a true commitment to good oral health for everyone in the family involves not only strong at-home practices but also regular trips to the dentist is also pretty common knowledge.
Unfortunately, sometimes our busy schedules, dental anxiety, or plain old procrastination get in the way of attending the routine exams that are so vital to maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
Here at South Chico Dentistry, Dr. Daniel Surh and our team are fully committed to ensuring that you and every member of your family receive not only top-notch care but are treated to a warm, comforting, and empathetic environment that leaves you eager to schedule your next visit!
Why Are Regular Trips To Your Family Dentist So Important?
Outside of regular brushing and flossing, regularly attending routine cleanings and exams with a family dentist is the most important thing you can do for your family’s oral health.
First and foremost, these routine checkups allow your dentist to monitor the health of your teeth, gums, and bite, identify minor issues as they arise, and provide the preemptive care that will save you time, money, and discomfort down the line.
Also, routine exams are an opportunity to learn more about your available cosmetic dentistry options and which treatment(s) are best suited to keeping your smile perfectly aligned and radiant.
Finally, regular exams give your dentist an opportunity to get to know you and your family and your respective dental care habits and histories.
The Importance of Regular Checkups for Children?
Needless to say, your family dentist’s primary goal is not only to ensure the long-term health of every patient’s teeth and gums but to do so in a caring and comforting manner. This is doubly true for children.
Taking your children for dental checkups at least once (ideally twice) per year ensures that they are not only receiving preemptive care for their developing teeth and gums but also encourages strong at-home oral health habits and instills in them a lifelong commitment to good oral health.
