Find out why these six-month dental visits are so very important to maintaining a healthy smile.dental visits

We know that visiting our Huntsville, AL, dentist, Dr. Michael Pugh, may not be the most exciting thing on your to-do list but if you value your smile then visiting us twice a year is a small price to pay for healthy teeth and gums. Find out why these routine visits are so necessary for your health.

Brighten Your Smile

While teeth whitening might sound all-too-appealing you may not want to fork over the money for this cosmetic dental service just yet. However, did you realize that by visiting our Huntsville general dentist every six months for routine cleanings we can easily remove surface stains and brighten your smile? While these cleanings won’t actually lighten the color of your teeth they can still make your smile appear more radiant.

Catch Dental Issues Early on

Getting preventive dentistry is probably one of the most important things you can do for your smile. After all, these routine cleanings and exams are designed not only to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth but to also check for decay, gum disease, infections and other potential issues. By coming in every six months we can monitor your oral health and stop problems in their tracks before they cause serious damage.

Save Your Money

While you may not relish the idea of coming in every six months, isn’t it better that you come in for simple, painless procedures that are affordable rather than time-consuming and aggressive treatments? We thought you would agree. By coming in for a simple, non-invasive cleaning twice a year you could save yourself and your wallet a lot of heartache in the future.

Detect Oral Cancer

The Oral Cancer Foundation has reported that oral cancer kills about one person every hour. While you may not notice symptoms right away, particularly in its earlier stages, we perform fast, painless screenings to check for any signs of oral cancer. These tests can be done during your next routine cleaning and they could just save your life.

Artistic Dentistry in Huntsville, AL, is dedicated to providing the very best dental care possible. Whether you just need to have your teeth cleaned or you want to talk about your cosmetic dentistry options, we are always happy to help you get a smile that you’ll be proud of.
