Dental Checkup – Why It’s Important to Visit a Dentist Every Six Months

Visiting a dental checkup in Hillsboro  every six months is one of the best things you can do for your oral health. It ensures that any dental issues are caught and treated early on before they become painful, costly or difficult to treat. It’s also been shown that the mouth can be a window into your overall health and can indicate other problems like diabetes or heart disease.

Dental X-rays and Imaging

Our digital x-rays provide a highly accurate image of your teeth, soft tissue and jaw bone that cannot be seen by the naked eye. They help the dentist identify tooth decay, abnormalities in the gums, cysts and abscesses and more. These images are extremely important and can prevent serious oral health complications down the road.

Teeth Cleanings

Even if you do an excellent job brushing and flossing your teeth, it can be impossible to remove all the bacteria, plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas of the smile. Our hygienists carefully remove these harmful deposits from all areas of the mouth, keeping your smile free from decay and preventing most common oral health concerns like gum disease.
