If I don’t feel any dental pain, why should I go to the dentist?

Regular office visits to your dentist are the best way to detect dental decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues before they become expensive and painful. During your preventative care visit, a dental assistant will take x-rays that allow the dentist to diagnose dental disease. A regular visit also includes a thorough cleaning, gum health evaluation, oral exam, oral cancer screening, TMJ evaluation, and fluoride treatment if desired. Regular visits to your dentist, usually twice per year, ensure the best care for your mouth and prevent expensive dental treatments in the future.
