When was the last time you visited our office? If it has been longer than six months, we would love to see you! We know that this time of year is busy for many of our patients. With summer right around the corner, the end of school activities, sports, and time with family and friends is most likely taking up all of your free time. As busy as you may be, we want to remind you of the importance of making your oral health a priority. Unfortunately, neglecting your oral health can lead to serious complications now and in the future. In fact, there is one oral health condition that affects approximately half of American adults. You don’t want to be a statistic, do you? Read on to learn more about this common, yet serious condition.
At Ackley Dental Group, we want our patients to have optimal oral health. We know that some patients are at a higher risk of developing certain conditions, and others may experience a dental emergency from time to time. You might be surprised to learn that certain habits can negatively affect your oral health. While these habits may not currently be causing a problem, eventually you will see an impact on your teeth and your oral health. Habits that you may want to change include the following:
At Ackley Dental Group, we are passionate about the oral health of our patients of all ages. Since we typically see our patients only twice a year, we encourage you and your family members to maintain a regular oral hygiene routine at home to ensure your teeth are being cared for between visits to our office. While we know adults are more than capable of handling this directive, our child patients may need some extra help and direction from the adults in the home. Sometimes, problems can arise with teenagers, who are known for being reluctant to follow directions and may not make their oral health a priority.
Valentine’s Day isn’t the only important event happening this month. It’s also Children’s Dental Health Month. The American Dental Association has designated February to promote good oral health among children. Whether you have a child in your life or not, now is an excellent time to evaluate the state of your oral health. Many of us are concerned about the state of our teeth and our family members’ teeth. We offer a treatment that is designed to protect teeth from cavities and decay. Although it is primarily used for children, it can also be beneficial to adults.
At Ackley Dental Group, we are passionate about our patients visiting our office for routine hygiene examination appointments. Do you remember the last time you visited our office for an examination and cleaning? If it has been some time since your last visit, you may be in need of an appointment. With the start of the new year, there is no better time to schedule an appointment for you and your loved ones. No matter how well you clean your teeth on your own throughout the year, routine dental exams are a must.
As much as it is our goal for our patients to have ideal oral health and not experience any dental decay or other oral health issues, unfortunately, that is not always the case. Thankfully, at Ackley Dental Group, we offer a number of dental treatments that can improve and repair any damage or concerns with your oral health. As with any medical treatment, it is imperative that you follow all of our instructions before and after your procedure. Failure to do so will negatively impact the success of treatment as well as your recovery time.
