Regular Dental Checkups in Plaistow, NH
Routine dental checkups play a vital role in keeping your oral health on track. During your visit, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and jaw to detect any potential issues early, including cavities, gum disease and signs of oral cancer. These checkups allow us to address problems before they become more serious, saving you time, discomfort and money.
In addition to the exam, professional teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing and flossing might miss. This process prevents tooth decay and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and polished. By scheduling a checkup twice a year, you can enjoy fresher breath, healthier gums and a confident smile.
