Why are dental checkups important?
Regular dental checkups are essential for detecting oral health issues that daily brushing and flossing can miss. These visits include cancer screenings, digital X-rays to spot hidden problems, and professional cleanings to remove stubborn plaque and bacteria.
Early detection is especially important for gum disease—the top cause of tooth loss. Once damage occurs, it can’t be reversed. During your exam, we’ll measure gum pockets and use X-rays to check for bone loss, helping to catch issues before they progress.

What are the signs of oral cancer?
Mouth cancer can appear in areas such as the lips, tongue, throat, salivary glands, pharynx, larynx and sinuses. Early detection is key to successful treatment. See your doctor if you notice:
- Sores, lumps, swelling or thick patches in or around the mouth
- A lump-in-throat sensation
- Numbness or unexplained pain
- Loose teeth without dental cause
- Persistent sore throat or hoarseness
- Red or white patches on lips or inside the mouth
- Difficulty swallowing, speaking or moving the jaw
- Ear pain without hearing loss
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research reports that over half of U.S. oral cancer patients survive beyond five years—emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis.
-
Why are brushing and flossing important?
Brushing and flossing help freshen breath and break up the biofilm of bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease. With many dental products available, your hygienist can recommend the best options. Aim to brush twice a day for two minutes and floss once daily. If flossing is hard to remember, pair it with a routine habit—like during your shower or commute.

What are other preventative dental care strategies?
Our dental cleanings not only polish your teeth but also include key preventive care:
- Dental Sealants – Shield the grooves in back teeth to reduce cavity risk and make brushing easier.
- Fluoride Treatment – Strengthens enamel, reduces sensitivity and reverses early decay. Just $29 for adults; often covered by insurance for kids.
- Oral Cancer Screenings – Included in every checkup to detect risks early from factors like HPV, sun exposure or tobacco/alcohol use.
- Diagnostic X-rays – Spot decay or bone loss early, allowing for less invasive treatment.
