With that said preventative appointments are exactly that – preventative. They are to prevent issues down the road by maintaining a regularly scheduled visit twice a year, as well as good brushing at home. The examination and cleaning help to cover the areas that are difficult to reach on your own. This helps to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, cavities, as well as other oral health issues.<\/p>\n
