The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist at least twice each year for a checkup. At your checkup, we will inspect your soft tissues for oral cancer, periodontal disease, and other problems. The dentist will also look at each tooth in your mouth to assess problems like tooth decay or cracks, as well as old dental work. Sometimes old dental work wears out and needs to be replaced. We will be happy to replace metal fillings, inlays, onlays, and crowns with tooth-colored alternatives.
By looking for trouble every six months, we can often reduce your potential for large dental problems. For instance, left untreated, a small cavity can grow to destroy an entire tooth and spread to surrounding teeth. A cracked tooth can cause pain or break off and create additional problems. Furthermore, advanced gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss for American adults, and oral cancer causes more than 7,500 deaths each year. Caught and treated early, these diseases can be controlled.
If you have not scheduled a checkup lately, be sure to call us now to make your appointment! Children as young as two should visit the dentist, and by age four or five, a child should attend regular checkups.
Testimonial
Dear to whom it may concern: I want to send you a note to thank you for referring me to the best dentist I have ever seen, and I've seen many. Dr. Urban is the best dentist, very welcoming, knowledgeable and really cares about me as his patient. He takes time to listen and tell me my options. His office is very clean, which is very important to me. His staff very friendly and very welcoming. One very important thing is they are super organized with their scheduling, billing, etc. I thank you for helping me find my dentist for the rest of my life!
