How your dentist in Allentown can save your smile
Dentists are frequently asked how often a person should visit their dentist. The truth is you should visit your dentist at least once each year for a thorough dental examination and x-rays. Visiting your dentist is the only way to know for sure if your smile is healthy.
Dr. Robert Sanford at Sanford Center for Total Health Dentistry in Allentown, PA, wants to share the facts on why and how often you should see your dentist. He proudly serves the residents of Allentown, Salisbury, Wescosville, and Westwood Heights areas, and he can help you too.
Many dental problems can happen without any signs or symptoms. Your dentist uses state-of-the-art digital x-rays and diagnostic techniques to detect dental problems while they are still small. By treating small dental issues, your teeth are protected against major dental problems like these:
- Tooth decay turning into a dental abscess
- Tooth decay turning into the need for a root canal or tooth removal
- Tooth removal turning into the need for bridgework, partials, dentures, or implants
Did you know that maintaining the health of your mouth can help your overall health too? It’s true. A healthy mouth can help lower your risk of a stroke, diabetes, heart disease, endocarditis, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Your dentist can help make your smile more attractive by introducing you to the many cosmetic dental procedures including bonding, veneers, and teeth whitening guaranteed to restore the beauty of your smile.

Along with visiting your dentist at least once each year, you should also visit your dental hygienist for a professional cleaning once every six months, or once every three to four months if you have periodontal disease.
Make regular visits to your dentist a part of your yearly healthcare maintenance. Your smile is your trademark, and your dentist and dental hygienist can help you protect it. Start today by calling Dr. Sanford at Sanford Center for Total Health Dentistry in Allentown, PA. Call now!
