Are you visiting your dentist regularly?

Are you brushing and flossing daily properly during your orthodontic treatment? If yes, we think that’s wonderful! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist every 3-to-6 months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting Dr. Jeffrey Berger, of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health, especially during orthodontic treatment.

Your general dentist can check for problems that might not be seen or felt, detect cavities and early signs of decay, treat oral health problems early and show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth.

During an oral exam your dentist can check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not been to the dentist in the last six months, let us know during your next visit with Dr. Berger and we will provide a few great references in the South Bay area, including Torrance, Redondo Beach and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!
