Are regular checkups important? You bet.

Have you been brushing your teeth twice a day during your treatment? You have? That’s awesome. But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your dentist every six months in addition to your treatments here at Scott Orthodontic Associates. Brushing your teeth a couple times a day is vital to maintaining good oral health as well.

The advantage of seeing your dentist regularly is that they can check for problems that might not be seen or felt, detect cavities and early signs of decay, treat oral health problems early and show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth.

During an oral exam, dentists are able to check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Regular checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing.

And, as always, if you have any questions about your treatment with Lakeland orthodontist Dr. Gregory Scott, feel free to give us a call at (863) 808-0126 or visit our web site.
