The New Year can be a great time to reassess your smile and your general dental health. If it has been a while since you last saw a dentist, then why not book an appointment?
The Advantage of Regular Preventative Dental Care
We suggest regular dental checkups and hygiene appointments every six months and it is worth keeping up with this routine even if you think your teeth are perfectly okay. Often small problems can develop and initially they won’t cause any symptoms. By catching these issues at an earlier stage, treatment can be less invasive and less expensive.
Regular hygiene appointments are an easy way to keep your teeth looking their best and a great way to freshen up breath.
There is another very important side effect of regular dental care as it can help protect your general health. There is an extensive amount of evidence showing links between a healthy mouth and a healthy body and once you have good dental health it’s quite easy to maintain strong teeth and gums.

Are You Thinking about Having a Smile Makeover?
Do you have a special event or milestone coming up next year? If so you might have thought about improving your appearance and a healthy and attractive smile can be a huge asset. While some improvements can be made quite quickly and easily, other treatments may require more extensive planning and could take longer to complete.
If you intend to improve your smile by a particular date, then it’s worth planning ahead. An initial consultation with Dr. Larry Leslie will help you learn more about procedures that could be useful and the costs and time involved to complete treatment. Planning ahead is also a great way to help budget for more comprehensive smile makeovers as it’s often possible to work out a treatment plan that will take place over several different phases.
