There are many reasons why any patient should come into our office for a dental checkup and cleaning. The fact is, you can\u2019t see everything going on in your mouth just by looking in the mirror alone. Unless you can turn your head almost the entire way around like an owl, there\u2019s simply no way to keep a close eye on everything going on in your mouth. Sure, you may be able to spot signs of cavity development, but you won\u2019t be able to see the back teeth as clearly.<\/p>\n

Our Pasadena<\/a> office has the general dentistry<\/a> services you can count on. Did you know most of preventive dentistry occurs when you\u2019re at home? Part of general dentistry is teaching our patients proper dental hygiene habits and taking them home to perfect their technique. Having good dental hygiene can go a long way in keeping your oral health operating at maximum efficiency. If it\u2019s been awhile since you\u2019ve had your teeth checked, it\u2019s time to take action. There could be problems forming and you won\u2019t have the slightest idea. Come into our office and get the special treatment during a dental checkup. We\u2019ll ensure your mouth stay as healthy as possible. Dr. Holmes and Dr. Revel are the dentists Pasadena, TX residents can trust for fantastic dental service.

Dental Checkups Are Important<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s commonly accepted that you should visit the dentist at least every six months. That\u2019s it \u2013 twice a year. This can give us a great idea of what\u2019s going on in your mouth and if problem areas need to be addressed. It isn\u2019t just us that agrees that you should come in twice a year \u2013 the American Dental Association also makes the same recommendation.<\/p>\n

A general checkup<\/a> involves us inspecting your soft tissues for any signs of oral cancer, gum disease and additional problems. Each tooth will be thoroughly inspected for signs of tooth decay, cracks, fractures and more. Previous dental work will also be examined to ensure it isn\u2019t posing any problems inside your mouth. Old metal fillings, inlays and onlays, crowns and more can be replaced with beautiful, tooth-colored alternatives.<\/p>\n

Large dental problems are avoided when you come in for a dental checkup. Let\u2019s use small cavities as an example. If they\u2019re left to grow without any treatment, it can put you at risk of receiving a root canal down the road. Cavities don\u2019t form quickly, but they can increase in size if nothing is done. It isn\u2019t just your tooth you need to worry about \u2013 the surrounding area is put at risk as well. Cracked teeth and other ailments can all leave your oral health in bad shape. We want you to smile big with a set of pearly whites that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.<\/p>\n
