Find out why it’s in your smile’s best interest to see your dentist twice a year.
We know that the pandemic makes it challenging to get the routine and general dentistry you need here in Kansas City, MO, but now it’s time to jump back on the oral health bandwagon and to visit our dentist Dr. Todd Bellem for your routine cleaning. Most people will benefit from turning to our team every six months for cleanings and checkups. In return, here are some of the benefits these regular cleanings can afford you,
Keep Your Smile Decay- and Gum-Disease Free
You might pride yourself on brushing and flossing your teeth and gums with the most meticulous of care. Even so, there are certain areas that are hard to reach with your at-home toothbrush. By coming in twice a year we can easily remove plaque and tartar buildup to reduce your risk for cavities and gum disease.
Screen for Oral Cancer
Oral cancer is on the rise, particularly in younger adults due to the increased rate of HPV (human papillomavirus). This is why it’s now more important than ever to turn to our Kansas City, MO, dental team every six months for quick, painless oral cancer screenings. Through a simple oral exam, we can examine the tissue and look for patches, lesions and other changes that could be early warning signs of cancer.
Say Goodbye to Stains
While we do offer teeth whitening here at our dental practice, you might be excited to hear that we can easily get your smile brighter and more radiant through a simple dental cleaning. After all, we have the professional tools and expert techniques to be able to safely and effectively scrub away surface stains for a more vibrant smile.
Prevent Future Complications
By simply examining your smile at your next general dentistry checkup, our Kansas City, MO, family dentist and his team can easily tell whether or not you grind your teeth. By detecting this early on and providing you with custom-fitted nightguards, we could protect your smile from cracks and chips down the road.
If your child is planning on playing sports, we can also provide them with a custom mouthguard to protect against sports-related injuries. By coming in twice a year we can provide you with the preventive care your smile needs to prevent problems both now and in the future.
It’s really not that hard to properly care for your smile. If it’s been more than six months since your last general dentistry visit, then it’s time you called our Kansas City, MO, practice at (816) 931-5320 to schedule your next cleaning.
