Importance of Routine Dental Care

With the end of the year fast approaching, now is the perfect time to evaluate the state of your oral health. When was the last time you received an oral hygiene examination and cleaning? Most patients should receive a dental cleaning every 4 to 6 months, depending on any lasting conditions. If it has been some time since your last appointment, schedule your next visit as soon as possible. Delaying routine care increases your risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease, and other conditions.

Why Are My Teeth So Sensitive?

If you frequently experience issues with tooth sensitivity, it can put a damper on your day. You may find yourself avoiding your favorite hot and cold foods, which can be a disappointment if you love a nice bowl of ice cream or a steaming cup of hot coffee in the morning. It’s not unusual to experience tooth sensitivity from time to time. The problem arises when you have frequent tooth sensitivity and it is affecting your quality of life. If you are uncomfortable every time you brush your teeth or are changing the foods you eat and drink, it is time for a visit to check the state of your oral health.
