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.

Dr. Sargent provided a second opinion about an on-going dental issue I have been struggling with for the past eight months.

Sam. Sherry and doctor Newman we’re all wonderful people. Dr. Newman made me feel at ease and relaxed. Especially with my anxiety of not enjoying the dentist. Drive Newman’s hygienist was great too… I really wish Guilford, hill dentistry Had payment plans because I would have stayed to get all my work done. I am having a hard time finding a dental surgeon To do all of my dental surgery, nobody wants to take my dental plan with my Medicare, and that’s one of the toughest parts….. I just don’t have $13,000. And it makes it difficult for me having a disability , and I don’t have that kind of money…… I loved having Dr Newman for my Dr and having sam help me financially.
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.
