Why You Should Go to The Dentist Every 6 Months

At Family Dental Rego Park in Elmhurst, NY, we ask that patients visit us every six months for a check-up. This ensures you have proper dental care and are maintaining your oral health. By coming in to our office every six months, Dr. Binod Verma is able to examine your teeth and gums.  You also receive a thorough cleaning from one of our dental hygienists and reduce your risk of gum disease.

 

Every time you visit our practice, our dentist will perform the following:

1. Examination of your teeth, gums and inside your mouth.
2. Give you advice on keeping your teeth clean, including reducing cigarette smoke and unhealthy dietary habits.
3. Ask about your teeth and if you have had any problems.
4. Address concerns you have, whether it is due to possible signs of gum disease or pain in a tooth.
5. Provide x-rays of teeth giving you problems.
6. Provide you with treatment options if needed.

Not only do visits every six months ensure you get regular professional cleanings, but can prevent more serious dental procedures by finding cavities and other issues early. This reduces the time you spend in the dentist chair.
