Dental Checkups near Forest Glen, MD Give That Clean Feeling

Nothing is quite as refreshing as that clean feeling you get after you have been to visit Dr. Rezaiyan, a dentist at Spring Dental Associates near Forest Glen, MD, for your semi-annual dental checkup. Dental checkups are essential to maintaining healthy gums and teeth. Your overall oral health depends on your regular six-month dental checkups near Forest Glen, MD.

Even though you follow a thorough daily dental hygiene regimen including brushing and flossing after every meal if possible, if not twice a day, and especially before going to bed at night, that in itself will not protect you from cavities or plaque and tartar buildup. Although it certainly helps, you still need to visit your local dentist, Dr. Rezaiyan at Spring Dental Associates, semi-annually for your dental checkups.

A semi-annual checkup from Dr. Rezaiyan near Forest Glen, MD will generally include:

• Updating any relevant health issues, insurance provider, change of address or phone numbers.
• A dental hygienist will clean your teeth at each dental checkup visit near Forest Glen, MD. With special tools and equipment, they scrape off built-up plaque and tartar that collects above and below your gum line. Your teeth will be polished to get rid of any residue that was missed. This will make your teeth smoother which helps in protecting future plaque from collecting on your teeth as easily, in between your dental checkups near Forest Glen, MD. Polishing will also make your teeth shinier and whiter. They will floss around and between each tooth to remove any particles that are still clinging on.
• Once your pearly whites are squeaky clean, a thorough examination of your gums, teeth, face, mouth and neck will be performed to check for abnormalities, any signs of problems for concern, tooth decay, and gum disease. You will also have x-rays most likely every two or three visits during your dental checkups near Forest Glen, MD, or as needed for your own personal oral health concerns.

After your dental checkup has been completed by Dr. Rezaiyan near Forest Glen, MD, he will discuss with you any concerns he has and what should be done to correct these issues.
