Why Are Regular Visits to Your Charlottesville Dentist Important?

In addition to following a good home oral healthcare routine of flossing and brushing, maintaining biannual checkups at Dr. Jack Kayton’s Charlottesville dental office is the best thing you can do for the health of your smile, and your body.

When you stop in for your six month appointment, we’ll check for any signs of gum disease, oral cancer, cavities, broken teeth, damaged fillings, and more. We’ll also conduct a thorough cleaning and polish and floss your teeth for a clean, fresh mouth.

While we obviously love to keep your teeth and gums healthy, visiting us at least every six months doesn’t only help your smile, it can also help protect your overall health

Oral health issues, like gum disease, can lead to whole-body problems such as cancer, strokes, heart disease, and other scary health problems. By maintaining regular checkups and cleanings with your dentist in Charlottesville, you can help catch any potential problems before they start or before they have a chance to affect the rest of your body.

Visiting Dr. Jack Kayton at least twice a year is essential to your oral healthcare routine. If you’re at risk for certain dental issues, we’ll sometimes recommend that you see us more often to ensure that we’re being proactive with your health.

If you’re due for a checkup and cleaning, give our Charlottesville dental office a call to schedule an appointment today. We can’t wait to see you!
