Are regular checkups really that important? You bet.

Dr. Watkins and our team want to know: Are you brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing after each meal? If the answer is yes, we think that’s fantastic! But, don’t forget that it’s also important to visit our Bloomington office every six months (or as recommended), in addition to brushing your teeth a couple times a day and flossing.

Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. Dr. Watkins can:

• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and early signs of decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show you how to properly brush and floss

During an oral exam we will usually 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 our office in the last six months, it’s time for you to schedule an appointment!
