If you’re one of those people who avoids going to the dentist, you might want to put your dental fears aside and come in for a Summerlin holiday dental cleaning this year. When you think about all the holiday parties and holiday photos you’ll probably be in, having a fresh, clean smile in those pictures would certainly look good.
Whether you realize it or not, a Summerlin holiday dental cleaning is an important part of your oral health. Coming in for regular dental checkups means you’ll have a screening for oral cancer. With one person every hour dying from oral cancer, it’s important that you get checked to make sure you have nothing that indicates there is a problem. And if you’re a smoker, this is something you really can’t afford to avoid. Early detection is always the key to being able to cure things like oral cancer.
Regular dental cleanings can help you steer clear of gum disease. If you have red, inflamed gums and you don’t have them checked out, you could end up with gingivitis or another gum disease that’s even more serious. Regular brushing and flossing can help keep gum disease away, but you really need to have a checkup regularly to make sure everything is good when it comes to your gums.
One thing you may not realize when it comes to dental care is that the sooner you have a problem diagnosed and fixed, the less it will cost you, money wise. Think about it this way. Filling a tiny cavity in your tooth is going to cost a lot less than having to put a bigger inlay or onlay on your tooth because you didn’t come in soon enough to have your cavity filled.
Coming in for a yearly Summerlin holiday dental cleaning and checkup can do more for you than you realize. So it’s time to call Moore Family Dentistry at 702-791-1010 for our central office or 702-254-6700 for our Summerlin office and make a holiday dental appointment today.
