When your schedule is particularly busy, or when you just have a hard time fitting errands into traditional office hours, it can be difficult to know when you will have time for routine dental care. In order to help people with limited or inflexible schedules, our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office does provide office hours on Saturdays! By doing so, we can make ourselves more available to those who wish to arrange oral health care. There are benefits you should not ignore when it comes to maintaining a consistent schedule for dental exams. By going in for dental checkups on a regular basis, you remain informed about your well-being, and you also receive beneficial teeth cleanings that protect you against tartar buildup.
We Understand That Traditional Office Hours Are Less Convenient For Some
While the typical weekday office hours work for many people, not everyone finds them particularly convenient. If you have a harder time escaping from your own workplace during the week, or if your hours are not in sync with most people’s, these hours may actually be inconvenient to you. As a result, you may postpone preventive care, or even decide to forgo checkups! When you do this, you make yourself vulnerable to tartar buildup, and you can let problems that form go untreated until they are serious enough to call for root canal therapy.
Are You Due For Your Next Dental Exam?
Unless your dentist sees a reason to tell you to follow something different, you should have regular dental exams every six months. By keeping up with this schedule, you continue to receive the following:
- Routine cleanings that remove the tartar buildup you cannot remove on your own
- Thorough reviews to determine if you need restorative dental work because of tooth decay
- Checks for any problems with your periodontal health
- Opportunities to discuss other oral health matters, like TMJ disorder, that can affect your quality of life
Without these reviews, it can be harder to stay on top of your oral health than you realize. Cavities can form and worsen in a long absence from the dentist, or problems with your jaw can lead to chronic pain in your face and head.
Finding Time For Services That You Require
If you need treatment for something like tooth decay, you should try to schedule it without delaying. The more time you wait to have a cavity treatment, the more time that cavity is given to grow and do more permanent damage. With Saturday appointments, we can more easily make time to see and treat you!
