Most healthy patients can maintain their dental health and beautiful smiles by visiting their Kingsport dentist every six months for professional teeth cleanings and checkups.
If you're managing gum disease, you may need additional cleanings throughout the year to help you keep your condition under control. Unfortunately, there's no cure for advanced gum disease, but our team can help you manage your condition to maintain your dental health.
Dr. Marshall will determine the ideal teeth cleaning schedule to help you achieve and maintain optimal dental health.
The Importance of Preventive Dental Appointments
Patients often wonder why they should visit their dentist routinely if they have no dental problems or their teeth don't hurt. Dentistry is all about prevention. These visits help us protect your smile and avoid problems like gum disease and tooth decay that can become more problematic and costly if you ignore them.
Protecting your dental health also guards your overall well-being. Gum disease has been closely linked with other health concerns like heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and complications during pregnancy.
Let us help you protect your smile, dental health, and overall well-being! Book your next professional teeth cleaning and checkup in Kingsport by calling our team at (423) 247-5125.
