Ask Dr. Caponera: Why are regular checkups so important?


Are you brushing your teeth twice a day? If yes, that’s great! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your dentist every six months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting Caponera Orthodontics during your treatment, of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health.

Dr. Caponera 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 general 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 and we’ll provide a few great references in Plantation, Palm Beach or surrounding areas!

Happy Monday!
