News and helpful articles about oral health
At Wallacia Dental, we believe that regular dental check-ups and cleanings are vital to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. While brushing and flossing daily at home are important, professional check-ups and cleanings help prevent oral health issues before they become more serious.
Dental check-ups are essential because they allow us to detect issues such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer early—before they cause significant damage. By identifying potential problems early, we can treat them effectively and prevent more costly and invasive procedures down the line.
During a routine check-up, we examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of decay, infection, and other conditions. X-rays may be taken to identify problems beneath the surface that aren’t visible to the naked eye. We also check for signs of gum disease, which is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
Even with good at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up in areas that are difficult to reach. Our professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. We also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and give your smile a brighter, cleaner look.
Prevent Tooth Decay: Catching cavities early prevents them from progressing into larger problems that may require more invasive treatments like root canals.
Prevent Gum Disease: Early detection of gum disease allows for simple treatments to prevent tooth loss.
Enhance Overall Health: Regular dental check-ups can help detect systemic health issues, such as diabetes or heart disease, that may manifest in the mouth.
Save Money: Preventing major dental problems with regular visits can help you avoid costly treatments in the future.
We recommend visiting Wallacia Dental for a check-up and cleaning every six months. However, if you have specific dental concerns or conditions like gum disease, we may recommend more frequent visits.
