What Are The Benefits Of Visiting A Dentist Regularly?
Your regularly scheduled dental checkups with Drs. Greg Bigelow, Peter Pastrell, Justin Buchanan, and Chad Hartzell are not just meant to make your smile prettier and healthier. Your mouth’s health has an important impact on your overall physical health as well!
While you may brush your teeth twice a day and even floss, we would like to remind you that dental checkups with Drs. Greg Bigelow, Peter Pastrell, Justin Buchanan, and Chad Hartzell every six months aren’t just about addressing problems and reacting, they are about cavity and gum disease prevention. Sometimes you might feel safe about your teeth and think if you should visit a dentist and might end up ignoring your regular visit. It may often cause future dental issues that are hidden impacting your overall health.
In addition to twice-yearly thorough teeth cleaning and polishing at Bigelow, Pastrell, Buchanan & Hartzell Dentistry, these regular visits help us detect and prevent the onset of tooth decay and gum disease. During your visit, we’ll check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. We’ll also check old fillings and restorations, as these can wear away over time from constant chewing, grinding, or clenching.
It’s important to know that the majority of dental problems do not become visible or painful until they are highly advanced. And, unfortunately, serious oral issues are painful and expensive to treat. Therefore, it’s important to maintain good dental hygiene for better overall health.
While Drs. Greg Bigelow, Peter Pastrell, Justin Buchanan, and Chad Hartzell and our team always strive to provide unmatched dental care for you and your family, we are also committed to your overall wellness as well! A deep cleaning twice a year is the best way to prevent any problems that may have gone unseen. If you are overdue for your next cleaning, please give us a call to schedule an appointment at our Grants Pass office!
