You’ve been thinking about getting a dental cleaning all year, but keep putting it off, as there’s always something else to do. October is a great month to check this off your list. It’s National Dental Hygiene Month, a reminder that prevention is always better than waiting until small issues become emergencies. Schedule a cleaning now and cross dental care off your list while you still have room in your calendar.
The benefits of an October cleaning:
- Protecting your oral health over the holidays
- Keeping your smile bright for holiday photos
- Enjoying peace of mind knowing that your teeth can handle holiday sweets
- Using your insurance before the end of the year
Why October Is a Great Time for a Dental Cleaning
As the calendar turns over to November, everything ramps up. Week by week, your schedule fills up with holiday events, family gatherings, and end-of-the-year work commitments. For many people, this is the busiest time of year.
It might be easy to push your oral health out of your mind, tell yourself that you’ll just get a cleaning next year. But your insurance benefits will reset in the meantime, and if you do have a developing cavity, you don’t want to wait until you’ve spent months eating sweets to get it treated. If you’re thinking about scheduling a dental cleaning this fall, here’s what you can expect.
What to Expect During Your Fall Cleaning
Maybe you are looking for a new dentist, are a returning patient, or haven’t been to the dentist in years. No matter where you are with your oral health, the team at Michael J. Franquemont DDS is ready to serve you without judgment. We will answer any questions you have and walk you through every step of what we’re doing.
During your cleaning, Dr. Mike will do a thorough exam, checking your teeth and gums for cavities, gum disease, and other potential issues. Our dental hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline. They will thoroughly clean every single tooth, reaching areas where your toothbrush and floss can’t easily reach.
If needed, we’ll take digital x-rays to ensure that everything is healthy, even in areas that aren’t visible. Dr. Mike will discuss his findings with you and answer any questions you may have about your oral health.
