Introduction
How often do you visit the dentist? If you’re like many people, you might wait until you experience pain or discomfort. However, regular dental checkups are the key to maintaining a healthy, bright smile and preventing major oral health issues. At Mass Dental Associates, we emphasize preventive care to help our patients enjoy strong teeth and gums for life.
What Happens During a Checkup?
✔ Professional Cleaning – Removes plaque and tartar buildup.
✔ Dental Examination – Checks for cavities, gum disease, and oral health concerns.
✔ X-Rays (If Needed) – Helps detect hidden problems beneath the surface.
✔ Oral Cancer Screening – Ensures early detection of any abnormalities.
Why Are Regular Checkups Important?
Skipping dental visits can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and expensive treatments later on. Additionally, oral health is linked to overall health, with conditions like heart disease and diabetes being associated with poor dental hygiene.
