Most people are proactive about scheduling yearly physicals, eye exams and so on. So, why do they so often forget about scheduling their biannual dental visits? Many simply prioritize their oral health lower than that of other parts of their body. This can be extremely detrimental in the long run. Issues that could have been caught with a checkup can turn into severe health issues, the complications of which can spread beyond the mouth.

Do you want to save money and time at the dentist’s office by achieving healthier teeth on your own, at home? While it is still important to visit the dentist twice per year, or every six months, for a routine cleaning and examination, a comprehensive oral hygiene routine at home can help you ward off issues like cavities and gum disease that can require further dental visits.
