When it comes to hygiene maintenance, it is not only your home care routine that is important. Keeping up with your regularly scheduled hygiene appointments can positively impact your health in many ways. Consistent hygiene visits not only keep you feeling clean, but can prevent major treatment. Your hygienist will take a series of check-up radiographs or x-rays in order to diagnose decay or any other issue that arises at an early stage. This process can help prevent treatment such as root canals and avoidable extractions. So do yourself a favor and keep regularly scheduled hygiene appointments to save yourself time, money, and a tooth ache.
