Even if you brush and floss every day. there may be problems begin- ning in your mouth that you cannot see or feel. As dentists, we are trained to detect these things such as gum disease, broken teeth, infections, cavi- ties and even early signs of oral cancer. Many of these problems can be fixed quickly and economically if caught early, but can become very painful and expensive if left to progress. It's Just like taking your vehicle into your mechanic for regular check ups. Every 5000 miles or so, your car needs an oil change to keep it running smoothly. If this isn't done, a sludge develops and eventually leads to engine failure. An oil change is relatively inexpensive, but if neglected, your car stops running com- pletely and it may be very expensive to repair. There are four simple..steps J,o a dental checRcup. First, your medical history is updated. Many health condi- tions and medications can have a huge impact on your mouth, so this is a very important step. Next is the dental history update.

Last but not least, the hygienist gets to clean your teeth. Usually, the whole appointment takes less than 45 minutes and you leave with a nice fresh, clean mouth. Since every person is different we have to customize your treatment. Check-ups and cleanings can vary from every 3 months to only once a year. It eIl depends on how well you care for your teeth at home and how quickly tartar builds up. It may also depend on how accident prone you are (especially all those hockey players out there) and what you use your teeth for (use a real bottle opener please!). Next time you get that call say- ing you're due for your next dental checkupand cleaning cQnsder, this - on average it takes 3 to 5 years for a cavity to develop into an abcess. A cavity can be fixed with a filling, but an abcess requires a root canal treatment or an extraction. It doesn't seem like a tough decision to me! Prevention is the keyl See you at your next checkup!
