Ask Dr. Barney: Why do I need to visit the dentist every 6 months?

Ask Dr. Barney, boise idaho dental office, family dentist

We took some time to ask Dr. Barney a couple of frequently asked questions…

Why do I need to have appointments every 6 months, if I always take good care of my teeth?

  1. Research shows that (for the majority of people) bacteria begins to break down the tissues at 6 months.
  2. If you have decay, most of the time, it won’t grow significantly in 6 months.

In short, regular 6-month cleanings help prevent major problems before they happen! Gum disease and cavities are preventable! Don’t wait until it hurts!

What does a 6-month cleaning consist of?

  1. A Soft Tissue Cancer Exam – This exam is one of the best ways to prevent gum disease.
  2. A Joint and Muscles Exam of the Jaw and Mouth
  3. Polish Teeth and Remove Hard Calcium Deposits – Keep in mind, these hard deposits cannot be removed with a toothbrush!
  4. Fluoride Application – Fluoride Fortifies and Strengthens Enamel!
