Brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing daily and visiting your dentist every six months. But if you\u2019re like most adults, you ignore the latter, believing it to be something only the most organized, on-top-of-it people do. A checkup every six months can\u2019t be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> necessary, can it? Well, we feel it\u2019s our duty to tell you this: twice annual visits to the dentist in Superior are <\/span><b>absolutely vital<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for good oral health. And it\u2019s not just your teeth that benefit from these checkups &#8212; they promote good overall health, too. Keep reading to learn more, then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/contact-us.html#appointmentForm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">schedule your appointment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Hill Avenue Dental today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 Reasons To Make a Habit of Twice Annual Dental Checkups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reasons for visiting your dentist twice a year are endless. Here we\u2019ll name the top four. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#4: When caught early, gum disease is easily reversed<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that about 75 percent of Americans suffer from gum disease? Or that the condition can lead to really serious problems, including tooth loss, gum degeneration and even heart disease? The good news is this: when caught early, gum disease is easy to treat. Give your Hill Avenue Dentists the chance to catch gum disease, or periodontitis, before it becomes a real problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#3: We can check for oral cancer, too<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to watching out for the warning signs of gum disease, your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/about-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hill Avenue dentists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also perform oral cancer exams. It\u2019s a highly serious disease, and unfortunately it often goes undiagnosed due to simple neglect of regular dental checkups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#2: Worn dental work gets repaired<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That dental crown you received a decade ago may be little more than a fuzzy memory, but don\u2019t worry &#8212; we\u2019re keeping our eye on it. Dental hardware can wear down over time, causing the tooth to break even further or opening it up to more decay. When we recognize that something\u2019s off with existing dental hardware, we can perform a quick repair to save you time and discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1: Our number one priority is preventing tooth decay<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most adults will experience some form of tooth decay throughout their lives. When it happens to you, your twice annual dental checkups allow us to catch it early &#8212; to prevent you from a lot of future discomfort and worry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can help us stop problems before they start, and fix them early when they do.
