The Importance of Regular Dental Appointments


 
Why does your dentist want to schedule another appointment with you so soon - even if today's oral examination was perfect? It's because regular dental visits are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

To maintain healthy teeth, a good oral care regimen at home must be supplemented with an examination at least every six months. Depending on the status of your oral health, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

Several months after cleaning, teeth can have plaque build-up as well as stains from food, beverages, tobacco, etc. Over time, plaque build-up can harden into tartar or calculus formation.

Checking your teeth for decay is only a small part of a thorough oral exam. During each visit, your dentist (or dental hygienist) will also:

  • check your gums (gingiva) for inflammation, tooth mobility and pockets
  • examine your mouth for indications of possible cancer, diabetes and vitamin deficiencies
  • note any irregularities in your facial structure, bite, saliva and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).


  • Your dentist or hygienist will clean your teeth and encourage you to maintain good oral hygiene.

    Eggplant Parmesan

    Eggplant Parmesan is a fun meal to make and delicious to eat. Our favourite thing to do is to keep some leftovers and make great, hearty eggplant parmesan sandwiches!

    This recipe directs you to bake the eggplant instead of the more traditional frying method which is both healthier and results in crispier eggplant.
