As the weather starts to cool off a little bit, you might have a little more free time, especially if your kids have gone back to school. If you suddenly find yourself with some extra space in your schedule, use it in a proactive and healthy way by scheduling your next biannual checkup at the dentist. Like the name implies, these visits are necessary at least twice a year, but always defer to the schedule given to you by your dentist. They know what you need and when you need it.

Here at Riverside Dental Group, we understand the value of preventive dental care. That’s why we give you helpful reminders to keep up with your biannual checkups, and we mean it when we say that these are important. When you wait to visit the dentist, your oral health responsibility is yours alone, and that can spell some real problems for you and your smile. To find out more about our team, give us a call at one of our six conveniently located clinics!

When Was Your Last Appointment For A Cleaning And Screening?

If you are struggling to remember, then make an effort and call your local provider to discuss your dental needs. For most people, these visits are required every six months, meaning that if you still have not been in for a checkup yet in 2024, then you are falling behind in your preventive care. By keeping to your timeline of appointments, you give yourself the opportunity to fight back against common dental concerns quickly.

Your oral health becomes your responsibility alone when you miss your checkups, as well. Even with a dedication to your routine of brushing and flossing, there still may be areas where you cannot reach, and in these spots, plaque bacteria can start to form. This biofilm calcifies into harder tartar, leaving you at risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more.

Ask All Your Oral Health Questions While You’re Here

When you come into the office for a biannual checkup, it is your chance to learn more about your smile and its needs. This face-to-face interaction can be a great way to understand your oral health in a better and more comprehensive manner, so be sure to take advantage of the opportunity. For some patients, that means keeping a smile journal with all of your concerns. It doesnt have to be detailed; you can even text yourself things to remember!
