When you’re caring for your smile, you’re going about your every day, while keeping your oral health in mind. You consider it along the way, you make smart choices to keep it safe, you brush, you floss, and you feel compelled to incorporate dental care into your life. While you may have the basics down as far as your dental hygiene goes, would you say you’re also feeling equally confident regarding securing professional care when you require it? If you feel you’re happy to follow through with what you need to do for your smile (only you’re not so sure what that is), allow our Virginia Beach, VA practice to fill you in on some essential details.
How To Know If You Need Cosmetic Care
You might know that you need cosmetic dental care when you don’t like the way that your smile looks. However, this can end up being a little tricky when you’re not completely certain whether you need veneers because your teeth look not-so-amazing or if you need dental crowns because in addition to looking poor, you think your teeth might also have some serious health problems. Good news: You don’t need to figure this out on your own. We are here to help you. Just call for a dental visit soon!
How To Know If You Need Preventive Care
This one is easy: You always need preventive care! If you can’t quite remember when your last visit was, don’t feel embarrassed. Just call us up to let us know you’re not sure about your previous appointment or when your next one should be. We’ll get your cleaning and checkup set up for a time and date that are convenient for you. As for how frequently you should be scheduling visits and practicing preventive dental care at home:
- We would like to see you two times a year. Your visits should be on our books every six months.
- You should practice prevention with brushing and flossing every day! Brush twice, floss once.
How To Know If You Need Restorative Care
You’ll know if you need restorative dental care in one of several ways:
- You come in for a dental checkup and we identify something that needs a repair (though you didn’t experience symptoms)
- You experience symptoms, so you call us and schedule a dental checkup
- You damage your smile and are sure you need a repair, so you schedule a visit!
