Life gets busy. Sometimes it seems impossible to keep up with everything you need to do throughout the day. At Almeida & Bell Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry, we understand that life can keep you busy. But we encourage you to think twice before you cancel or postpone a dental checkup in Denver because you think it’s less important than the other twenty things on your to-do list. Twice-yearly dental exams are vital for keeping your smile in ideal shape! We sometimes here individuals in Lone Tree say, “but my teeth feel fine.” We’ve heard this excuse before. The fact is that no news isn’t necessarily good news. Dental issues can be progressing without you being aware of it.
1. Your Gums May Be Receding
Gum recession doesn’t happen all at once. Gum tissue can move back almost imperceptibly until teeth and bone are in danger.
2. Decay May Be Lurking
When the acids in plaque start drilling into a tooth, we usually don’t feel it until it has passed through the enamel and dentin and hits the nerve. Ouch! By that time, there is a crater in the tooth. Regular cleanings remove plaque before it can do any damage.
3. Prevent Oral Cancer
About 50,000 men and women will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year. Dr. Almeida will screen for oral cancer during your exam. As with all types of cancer, early diagnosis is indispensable.
After your entire mouth has been examined during your dental checkup in Denver, Dr. Almeida will detail what is necessary moving forward. Whether that’s flossing more often or discussing major fixes such as braces, we will be certain that you get all the information you need to ensure your smile is bright and beautiful! Scheduling twice-yearly exams at Almeida & Bell Cosmetic, Implant & Sedation Dentistry will ensure you avoid acute dental troubles. Along with a dental checkup in Denver, we offer dental implants, porcelain crowns, and cosmetic dentistry. If you’re interested in our services, give us a call to schedule your next appointment.
