Routine dental checkups are vital for maintaining not only your oral health but also your overall well-being. These visits allow us to catch potential issues early before they develop into more serious problems.

Preventive care, including regular cleanings and exams, is the cornerstone of a healthy smile. Regular checkups help ensure your teeth and gums stay in top shape while also benefiting your overall health, as poor oral hygiene can impact your body in unexpected ways. Many people wait until they experience discomfort, such as toothaches or swollen gums, to visit the dentist. By making regular checkups a priority at The Art of Smile, you can avoid these issues and maintain a healthy, confident smile.

Saliva plays a crucial role in oral health by cleaning your teeth and gums and fighting the bacteria that cause decay. When you don’t produce enough saliva, your mouth becomes more vulnerable to health issues.

To address dry mouth, we first determine the cause. Dehydration is a common factor, and drinking more water can often help. However, if medications are the cause, we can recommend treatments, such as saliva-stimulating tablets, to restore balance and protect your oral health.

Bad breath (halitosis) is a common issue for many people. It’s often caused by food particles decomposing in the mouth. A professional cleaning and tips for improving your at-home care can usually resolve the problem.

If your bad breath isn’t due to poor oral hygiene, we may perform a saliva test to find the root cause. Once we understand the underlying issue, we’ll offer the best treatment options to help you eliminate bad breath and feel confident again.
