Dental Checkups & Cleanings Canton

Why Is It Recommended That I Visit the Dentist Every Six Months?

It may seem often, but by visiting Robison Dental Group every six months for routine hygiene and a dental exam, you will decrease your chances of suffering from severe oral health problems. Because our office is equipped with a DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection system, we can check for the earliest signs of dental decay and cavities and halt the progression before you begin to experience pain or more serious complications. Early detection also allows us to provide a more conservative treatment, saving you time, expense, and discomfort. Robison Dental Group also uses VELscope for oral cancer detection, and regular examinations mean you’re less likely to die from this serious disease.

Comprehensive Cleaning

It is recommended that you brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes and floss every night before going to bed. Although this is effective for removing food particles, plaque, and bacteria, there are still areas in your mouth that you cannot clean at home. As a result, tartar will begin to accumulate in the hard-to-reach places, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

To remove the buildup, you need a professional dental cleaning in Canton. Our friendly dental hygienist uses special tools to clean and polish your teeth. With a focus on delivering individualized care, we will take the time to discuss your oral hygiene habits. We will suggest how you can improve your efforts at home to keep your smile healthy in between your semi-annual appointments.

Complete Checkup

The foundation of dental care relies on prevention to reduce the risk of an issue developing in the future. With a checkup every 6 months, your dentist can monitor your oral health. This allows for early detection to treat problems while they are still small, like weakened enamel or gingivitis. With quick intervention, your dental health will be restored to prevent the need for costly or invasive treatment in the future.

During your checkup, a visual examination is performed, and digital X-rays are taken. This provides us with a complete picture of your mouth, even areas that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Not only are the health of your teeth and gums evaluated but all your oral tissues, your neck, and your jaw!

Going Beyond the Teeth

We will also look for areas of concern that can impact your general health, such as gum disease or oral cancer. We will check for any issues in your mouth that may indicate an untreated medical problem as well, like acid reflux.

With this information, a customized treatment plan will be created to help you reach and maintain optimal oral health and well-being. We will take the time to discuss your treatment, answer your questions, and address your concerns to help you feel at ease about your dental decisions.

We strive to build a long-lasting relationship with you while maintaining clinical excellence to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy.
