Understanding Routine Dental Procedures
Seeing your dentist regularly is one of the best ways to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy and to reduce your risk of cavities and eventual tooth loss. When you do visit a dentist, he or she will give your teeth a thorough cleaning, but this is not the only thing you can expect while in their treatment room. Note a few other dental procedures that are part of a routine visit, or that you can ask about having done, and why they're so important.
