\"\"<\/p>\n

As a Fort Lauderdale dental services provider that has helped people <\/span>brighten their smiles<\/span><\/a> for decades, we often get asked how frequently people should visit their dentist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the answer depends largely on the person, his or her specific individual situation, needs and goals. Generally speaking, people should come in twice a year for a routine <\/span>checkup<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>cleaning<\/span><\/a>. This is an essential part of keeping your mouth healthy by spotting any possible issues as early as possible and monitoring what is going on with your teeth and gums.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people are recommended to see a dentist more frequently for cleanings and checkups because they may be at a higher risk for <\/span>gum disease<\/span><\/a> or other oral health issues. Smokers and women who are pregnant, as well as people with <\/span>oral cancer<\/span><\/a> or gum disease and others who are prone to plaque buildup or infection, should ask their dentist whether they should be coming in more than twice a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Pearl White Dentistry, <\/span>Fort Lauderdale dentist<\/span> Dr. <\/span>Natalia Benda-Celenski<\/span><\/a> and her team make routine checkups and cleanings a comfortable and pleasant experience. Do not just take our word for it: Our patients give us <\/span>glowing reviews<\/span><\/a>, often citing the quality service and personal touch that comes with visiting our office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Checkups and Cleanings<\/b><\/h2>\n

The good news is that routine checkups and cleanings are relatively quick and painless. These services are typically performed in one appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Checkups and cleanings are primarily designed to give your dentist a chance to see what is happening inside your mouth and clean your teeth to remove any harmful tartar buildup. At Pearl White, a dental professional will clean your teeth, and Dr. Natalia\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

will assess your oral health and check for cavities, tooth decay, damage, crowding and signs of potential gum disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Natalia may recommend that we take x-rays during your visit to take a closer look at your teeth. In some situations, she may also suggest a <\/span>deep dental cleaning<\/span><\/a>. This process, also called scaling and root planing is reserved for people with larger pockets between teeth and gums that put them at risk of gum disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/span>Fort Lauderdale dentist<\/span> understands that some people are often nervous about visiting a dentist. That is why we take several steps to ensure your comfort during a checkup and cleaning, including offering<\/span> a variety of<\/span> sedation dentistry<\/span><\/a> options. Sedation <\/span>is a common practice that keeps patients calm and comfortable throughout a visit.<\/span><\/p>\n
