Regular dental visits are really important for a number of reasons. One, everybody has buildup. No matter how well you brush your teeth, myself included, you’re going to get buildup on the teeth of what is commonly known as tartar, okay, which is plaque that becomes calcified and depending on the makeup of your saliva, your drinking water, for some people it builds up really quickly, but everybody gets buildup.
If it’s left on the teeth for a long time, it can start to cause problems with the gums and it can lead to more advanced gum disease known as periodontal disease. Cavities can form fairly quickly and so a visit to your dentist every six months where you’re having things looked at, you’re going to catch things when they’re smaller and if we can address things when they’re small, you lose less tooth structure which equals your tooth being able to be viable and stay in your mouth for a lot longer.

K. A. (Verified Patient)
The staff are always friendly. They are all helpful and offer guidance without judgement. I never liked going to the dentist as a child. I feel that it may have been much better, if a practice such as this one would have been available back in those days. (I liked my previous dentist very much too, but transferred here due to his retirement.)
F. D. (Verified Patient)

A dental emergency prompted my visit to Guilford Hills Dental Care. They accommodated me quickly and fixed my problem. I would recommend this dental office to everyone. I was pleased with my visit. The staff was friendly and efficient. They are one of Chambersburg’s “best kept secrets!”
For most of our patients, a dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour. We’ll begin by asking you about any problems and possibly taking a set of X-rays. Your dental hygienist will then look over your mouth and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations needed for a healthy smile.
Putting off dental appointments until you are in pain can lead to a serious oral health issue. Plus, not all dental problems show painful symptoms until they are in the advanced stages. Regular dental checkups give you the advantage of having a dental professional examine your mouth. Detecting oral health concerns in their early stages means less expensive and less invasive treatments.
An ultrasonic cleaning is a method used to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth using high-frequency vibrations. Your dentist or dental hygienist uses a handheld device that emits ultrasonic waves and directs a fine stream of water onto your teeth. The vibrations generated by the device help break down and dislodge deposits on the teeth. Ultrasonic cleanings are efficient, effective, and often more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing methods.
