According to the American Dental Association, you should visit your dentist twice a year for routine dental checkups and a professional cleanings. There are many benefits to visiting your Yonkers best dentist at Van Cortlandt Dental twice a year. In addition to helping you to maintain good oral health, regular visits to your dental office can also save you time & money.

Seeing your Yonkers best dentist and hygienist for preventative oral health care helps to prevent oral health problems from developing and helps to detect and treat current ones early. It is always best to prevent oral health problems from occurring than it is to have to fix them later. Regular visits to a professional dental practice like Van Cortlandt Dental are not only good for preventative care but also allow for early detection of problems, which saves you time and money. When problems are detected early, they can be treated promptly which would reduce the risk of worsening conditions and would prevent further costly, more invasive treatments. During your appointment, you’ll see both your dentist and hygienist. Your hygienist will provide you with a professional cleaning. Professional cleanings are very important. Your hygienist can remove tartar and other debris that cannot be removed with regular teeth-brushing which helps to prevent cavities. Since tartar causes cavities and cannot be removed during your at-home oral hygiene regimen, professional cleanings are essential. After your cleaning, you’ll get your dental checkup. Your experienced dentist will perform a thorough examination to check your overall oral health. He’ll check to make sure your teeth are cavity free and your gums are healthy. As part of your oral health exam, your dentist will not only evaluate the health of your teeth and gums but will also do an oral cancer screening and will look for anything abnormal. Just like other types of cancer, oral cancer can be life-threatening if it’s not diagnosed and treated early.
