These routine appointments ensure that small problems are caught and taken care of early, plus professional cleanings can prevent the development of cavities and gum disease in the first place.
If you’re experiencing any kind of persistent dental pain, you should go ahead and call our dental office. The problem could be due to a crack in the enamel or serious dental infection, both of which will get much worse if left alone.
