Don't Neglect Visits to Your Family Dentist

How visiting your family dentist in Riverview, FL, regularly can save your smile

If you are neglecting visits to your family dentist, you might be endangering more than just the health of your smile. Did you know that according to the Mayo Clinic, an unhealthy mouth can increase your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or having a stroke? Great oral and general health all starts with regular visits to your family dentist.

Dr. Janis Milne and Dr. Rosalia Kickish of Inspiration Dental in Riverview, FL, offer comprehensive family dental care services, including diagnostic services and preventive dental care to save your smile.

So, how do regular visits to your family dentist help you? When you visit your family dentist regularly, it will:

• Help diagnose and treat dental issues while they are small before they become large, painful dental problems that dramatically affect your smile. You may be developing dental problems and not even know it, because many dental issues develop with little or no symptoms. Your dentist will do a full exam, including x-rays which will determine if your smile is at risk. Saving your smile starts with visiting your family dentist regularly.
• Help diagnose and treat gum disease, which can develop into periodontal disease. Periodontal disease can cause loss of supporting bone and connective tissue which holds your teeth in place. Loose teeth can become lost teeth. Prevention starts with regular visits to your family dentist.
• Help you discover all of the latest tools and tips for keeping your smile healthy at home when you are between appointments. When you practice excellent oral hygiene at home, you are building a strong foundation for enjoying a healthy smile for life.
  
  

You should visit your family dentist regularly every 6 to 12 months for a dental exam and x-rays. You should also visit your dental hygienist every 6 to 12 months for professional dental cleaning, or every 3 to 4 months for supportive periodontal therapy if you have periodontal disease.
