You wouldn’t buy a brand-new car off the lot and never change the oil in it. Likewise, you shouldn’t neglect routine care for your smile. It’s important to visit Dental West twice a year for a checkup to make sure that everything is going well with your smile. With regular dental cleanings and exams in Pasco, our team can help you:
Take good care of your smile by scheduling your next checkup today. Call Dental West at 509-588-0082, and one of our friendly team members will be glad to help. You’ll find our office conveniently located on Broadmoor Boulevard, not far from Three Rivers Elementary. Be sure to ask about our oral sedation if you suffer from dental anxiety.
The American Dental Association recommends that you visit your dentist every six months for a routine checkup and teeth cleaning. The idea is to keep your teeth and teeth roots free from plaque and tartar that can build up on them and cause problems.
During the teeth cleaning portion of your checkup, we can apply a topical anesthetic to your gums so that you don’t feel any discomfort. Plus, you’re welcome to a warm blanket and noise-canceling headphones to help you feel at home.
If we find any problems during your exam portion of your visit, we’ll let you know and help you decide on a course of action. Some common problems include cavities and gum disease. Here are some services we may recommend if we spot a problem:
Don’t skip your Pasco Dental cleanings and exams. Call Dental West today at 509-588-0082 to make an appointment.
The time needed for these services will vary depending on several factors, including whether we’ve seen you before and what shape your smile is in. Typically, though, it won’t require more than an hour. It will be time well spent, as your teeth will look and feel great!
It all depends on the type of treatment you receive during your appointment. If our dental team has applied fluoride treatments to your teeth, you’ll want to wait at least 30 minutes before you eat. Otherwise, there’s no reason to wait at all! However, many people prefer to wait awhile since their teeth and gums may feel a bit sensitive after their cleaning.
If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental problems cause pain. By getting regular exams, you get the benefit of having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential problems or catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you may need expensive and invasive treatments.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
