Summertime is here, and you should take time to consider your smile. With a dental exam and cleaning, we can help protect the health, beauty, and function of your smile, and offer help for kids too! In today’s blog, the team at Stubbs Family Dentistry talks about exams and cleanings for patients in West Allis, WI.
Dental Exams
We urge patients and their entire family to see us for a routine checkup every six months. When you arrive for a visit, we will take time to look closely at your teeth and gums with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. With digital imaging, we can make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, and catch possible problems in their earliest stages, often before you experience discomfort and risk the stability of your teeth! We can offer this for kids and adults alike, and help you on the path to your healthier smile, so be sure to schedule your summer visit today.
Cleaning Your Teeth
In the same visit, we will take time to clean your teeth too. With a dental cleaning, we will gently and effectively remove all plaque and tartar from your teeth. The process only takes a short period and helps lower the risk of bad breath, teeth stains, cavities, and even infection. We can use this to control or prevent gingivitis and gum disease, so you avoid risks to your smile’s stability. This is again helpful for kids of all ages, and adults too.
Better Oral Hygiene During the Summer
How you care for your smile during the summer months is helpful too! If you drink plenty of water and stay hydrated with options free of sugar and acids, this can protect your smile from tooth decay and gum disease. Try to avoid too many sugary sweets and eat healthy snacks, such as fresh fruits and veggies. Make sure you and your whole family brush and floss your teeth daily, and be sure you see us for a routine checkup and cleaning too!

We want to help you and your whole family enjoy your best possible smiles, and that enjoy preventive care both at home and in our office.
