Protect Your Smile by Preventing Oral Infections
Many oral health problems like tooth decay and gum disease can be virtually invisible to untrained eyes while they are still in their early stages, and keeping up with regular dental checkups and cleanings at our Frisco office will allow us to detect and treat these issues before they get worse. This can help you avoid painful and destructive dental infections that can have serious overall health consequences and diminish the beauty of your smile. Here’s a quick look at why it’s important to receive routine dental checkups every six months, but please feel free to contact the staff at On Point Dentistry if you’d like to know more.

Why Are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
While skipping routine dental appointments may seem like a good idea if you aren’t aware of any oral health problems, this can allow undetected infections to fester for long periods, which can lead to severe pain and permanent damage while making costly restorative treatments necessary. Regular checkups and cleanings are often completely covered by dental insurance plans because they can prevent expensive dental emergencies, so your biannual dental checkups are a great way to save money while also staying healthy.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
During your checkup, our dentist will carefully inspect your teeth, gums, bite alignment, and existing dental work for signs of damage, decay, infection, and serious health issues like oral cancer. You will probably also receive X-rays so we can check your mouth for internal problems. If we detect any issues, we will design a customized treatment plan to address them, and we’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you have about your treatment, oral health, and hygiene practices. We’ll also review and update your medical history and list of medications as necessary.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Some parts of your mouth are impossible to clean with normal hygiene tools like toothbrushes and dental floss, and our dentist will be able to tend to these areas with specialized tools designed to remove plaque and food debris. This will reduce your risk of oral infections and bad breath, and we’ll also take care to floss your teeth and polish away any minor surface stains. We may also administer a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities.
