Q: How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
A: That depends upon you and your specific dental needs. Your dentist is the professional who will make the determination of how often is best for you. While most people should go for a teeth-cleaning session and examination every six months, some people are more prone to either periodontal disease or tooth decay and they require more frequent visits.
The dentist’s office is equipped with the instruments and the training that can effectively get into small spaces that you most likely cannot reach. They also have the expertise to diagnose problems as early as possible to reduce time and expense. Talk with your dentist about what the best frequency is for your regular professional cleanings.
If you, your family, or friends need dental care, we would be honored to provide you with state-of-the-art dental care in our modern dental practice. Refer someone you love to someone you trust!

Q: How can I keep my teeth for my entire lifetime?
Gum disease affects nearly half of U.S. adults over 30 years of age. Smoking cigarettes is a known risk factor for developing gum disease, but less is known about the impact of e-cigarettes — which vaporize nicotine and other chemicals — on oral health, especially the long-term consequences of vaping.

If your system is already compromised by a short-term or long-term illness, it is important for you to keep up your dental health. Keeping up your dental care will protect your mouth and may contribute to your overall recovery.
Researchers at the University of Michigan studied patients receiving periodontal care, dental cleanings, or no dental care during 2016-2018 and who had acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) in 2017.
A: It’s important for you to know that you’re not alone in your condition.
