Is it Time for a Visit?

Has it been longer than 6 months since we last saw you or your loved ones for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning? For most patients, we recommend visiting our office for routine dental care every 6 months. Other patients with certain dental conditions, such as gum disease, may require a shorter time span between appointments. During routine visits, we not only thoroughly clean your teeth, but we also check for a variety of issues. The most common problems we look for are decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.

Call Today for Your Next Appointment!

If you are realizing that it has been longer than 6 months since your last visit to our office, we encourage you to stop what you are doing and call our office now! Delaying routine care as well as recommended dental treatments can lead to serious complications with your oral health. When needed treatments are postponed or avoided, the dental issue will continue to progress until treatment is received. Unfortunately, for many patients, this may result in a dental emergency or the need for more advanced treatments.

If you need to schedule an appointment for you or a loved one, be sure to contact our office located in North Huntingdon, PA. We can also assist if you are unsure of the date of your last visit or if you need to schedule a recommended treatment. We look forward to seeing you soon!
