Through our patient and thorough approach, our New Orleans dentist is able to provide comprehensive care to all individuals.
The Importance of Regular Dental Visits
As a critical part of preventive dentistry, routine recare visits provides the important opportunity for evaluating changes to a patient's smile. These appointment include oral cancer screenings, periodontal charting, and cavity evaluation, in addition to professional cleaning to remove accumulated tartar and plaque. Without these visits, patients are left vulnerable to the development of more serious dental problems.
For patients with special needs, dental fear, discomfort, and difficulty sitting still for extended periods of time make routine visits a challenge. As a result, these individuals are at risk of developing serious dental conditions, such as tooth abscesses and periodontal disease. These problems can significantly compromise an individual’s oral well being if left untreated.
