At the office of Hillcrest Dental Arts, we believe that a healthy smile is more than just an attractive asset; it's also essential to one's overall wellbeing. Studies have shown a growing link between poor oral health and systemic conditions such as digestive disorders, respiratory problems, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. A simple dental infection, when left untreated, can lead to serious health consequences.
A healthy smile doesn't just happen by chance. The best way to prevent the development of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues is through good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle, and a plan for regular dental checkups and care.
Our office encourages patients to visit us twice a year for routine exams and professional cleanings. This way, we can monitor your oral health, reduce your risk of dental disease, and catch any potential issues early on when they're typically easiest to treat. Regular checkups also allow us to screen for oral cancer and check for other conditions that may impact your overall health and wellbeing.
Our concern for your oral health extends beyond the walls of our office. Patient education is a crucial part of our comprehensive approach to dental care. We take the time to provide you with the proper guidance and resources needed to maintain good oral health at home. During each checkup visit, we review your oral hygiene practices and offer detailed instructions on the most effective methods for brushing and flossing to keep your smile clean and reduce any build-up of dental plaque.
We also assist children in establishing a strong foundation for a lifetime of optimal oral health. In addition to providing the necessary instruction and age-appropriate information required to maintain healthy smiles, we offer periodic topical fluoride treatments and dental sealants for added protection against childhood tooth decay.
It's important not to wait until you're in pain or think something is wrong before seeing the dentist. By taking the necessary preventive measures and scheduling a routine appointment for a comprehensive exam and regular care, our office can help you maintain optimal oral health and a beautiful smile that supports overall wellness.
Don't let dental issues catch you off guard. Take charge of your oral health and schedule your next dental appointment with us today. Our dedicated staff is here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that supports your overall wellbeing.
