Coming to a general dentist is very important. Six-month recall, six-month visits to your dentist to have them, have us check your teeth is so important. We see time and time again when patients have neglected those visits to their dentist, they come in to see us, and it’s almost like we want to say, ‘If we’d only seen you six months ago. If we’d only seen you a couple months ago, we would’ve been able to do a lot more with this tooth.’ Regular recall visits are so important for patients. It’s amazing now, we still have decay in our mouth, and we still have poor hygiene. If we can get you in the office and we can teach you how to maintain your teeth, we’re going to let you just fly with that. We’re going to able to … You’ll have a great relationship. We’re going to be able to provide a really great smile for you with longevity. But when you’re not in the office and coming to see us on a regular basis, things slide. Things slip. We see decay happens.
We’re really preventive in our office. We want to see you every six months for cleaning and exams so that we can be proactive and cut things off before they have a problem. Put fires, small fires out rather than big fires. Obviously, we’ll take care of those big fires too for you when they happen, but obviously we want to see you for preventive maintenance so that we can provide quality care for you.
