Maintaining proper oral health is essential for preventing a wide range of conditions, including gingivitis (gum inflammation), tooth decay, and even heart disease. While good oral hygiene begins at home with regular brushing and flossing, periodic visits to Complete Dental Care of Atlantis, Florida help detect potential issues at their earliest stages.
This is why we recommend regular exams, cleanings, and x-rays to keep your oral health in top shape. For most healthy adults, we suggest the following:
Dental Cleaning
We recommend visiting every six months for a professional cleaning. Regular dental cleanings provide an excellent opportunity for the early detection of potential dental issues. Maintaining routine cleanings not only helps prevent periodontal disease but also reduces the risk of more serious health problems, such as tooth loss and even heart disease.
Dental Exams
We recommend scheduling a dental exam once a year, typically during one of your regular cleaning appointments. Annual exams are an effective way to support early detection of oral diseases and ensure your long-term oral health.
X-Rays
At Complete Dental Care of Atlantis, Florida, we recommend having dental x-rays performed once a year, typically during one of your visits. While x-rays are often suggested at least once every two years, annual x-rays are an excellent tool for the early detection of dental issues and should not be overlooked.
Dental care is highly personalized, and the recommended timeframes mentioned above are intended for the average adult without active dental problems. We encourage you to consult with one of our providers to determine the frequency that best suits your specific oral health needs.
