The American Dental Association recommends having a routine dental checkup performed by a dentist like Dr. [doctor_name] every six months. This simple outpatient appointment is designed to clean away dangerous tartar from your teeth and gumline, while also monitoring the overall health of your mouth.
If Dr. [doctor_name] finds an area of concern [heshe] will help you understand your treatment options. This might include preventative measures such as applying dental sealants or administering a fluoride treatment to help prevent cavities between dental checkups.
A fluoride treatment is designed to expose your teeth to a strong concentration of fluoride to bolster the mineral density of your tooth enamel. This will help prevent bacteria and plaque acids from causing cavities.
If Dr. [doctor_name] notices plaque and food deposits stuck on the biting surfaces of your molars and premolars [heshe] might recommend protecting the teeth with dental sealants. They are simple dental resin shells painted over the occlusal surfaces of your back teeth to create a protective barrier between bacteria and tooth enamel.
