If you have a family history of heart disease: routine dental checkups and cleanings are even more important. The latest studies show a major correlation between periodontal disease and plaque formation in the heart, blood vessel blockage and stroke.
Comprehensive dental exams and cleanings are recommended once every six months for all patients. These visits help identify any tooth decay or early signs of gum disease or oral cancer through diagnostic x-rays and physical examination. Early detection of these conditions can help ensure effective treatment and prevent permanent damage.
Regular cleanings help keep teeth clean and healthy through thorough exams provided by a certified dental hygienist. A cleaning includes removal of tartar and plaque, which can build up and cause inflammation and disease if left untreated. The teeth are also polished during a cleaning to remove stains and further buildups of plaque that may not be removed during regular tooth brushing.
We have patients come from all over the Boston Metro area including Wellesley, Newton, Needham and Natick.
