Dr. Jennifer Martin and our team want to know: Are you brushing and flossing daily during your orthodontic treatment? If your answer is yes, that’s wonderful! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist every 3-to-6 months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting our Pleasant Hill office, of course).Yes, October is National Orthodontic Health Month. But this month also marks National Dental Hygiene Month, and a great time for a checkup, which can help you maintain good oral health, especially during your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Martin.
Your general dentist can check for problems that might not be seen or felt, detect cavities and early signs of decay, treat oral health problems early and show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth.
During an oral exam your dentist can check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not visited the dentist in the last six months, let us know during your next visit with Dr. Martin and we will provide a few great references in Pleasant Hill or nearby communities here in Contra Costa County!
