Jonesborough, Jefferson City, and Greeneville, TN
We understand that your schedule is packed with work, errands and endless commitments, making a trip to the dentist feel like just another item on your to-do list. It might even seem easier to put it off altogether. But before you delay your visit with our Erwin family dentist, let’s explore why coming in every six months is one of the smartest things you can do — for both your health and your wallet!
Small problems now are big problems down the road
If you have tartar buildup on your teeth and skip your dental appointment, it’s possible that by your next visit, you’ll have a tiny cavity. And that cavity can turn into a painful — and expensive — root canal down the road. Regular appointments with our dentist in Jonesborough allow us to catch and treat issues early when they’re far easier to fix.
Keep gum disease at bay
Most American adults, at some point in their lives, have had or will have gum disease in some form, usually without even knowing because it doesn’t always come with warning signs. Gum disease can lead to serious issues like tooth loss and even increase your risk of heart disease.
The best kind of cleaning
Even people who stick to the strictest, most avid oral hygiene regimen will grow plaque and tartar, especially in hard-to-reach places. Tartar, the precursor to cavities, can only be removed by a professional. Cleanings from our Greeneville family dentist will get rid of all the plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth, giving you a fresh start for the next six months before you see us again.
It’s more than just a teeth cleaning
When most people think of a dentist appointment, they focus on the cleaning. But there’s a lot more to it than just polishing your teeth. We are always on the lookout for early warning signs of gum disease, vitamin deficiencies and even oral cancer — because your oral health is closely connected to your overall well-being.
