Routine dental checkups are the key to maintaining healthy teeth and gums, preventing serious issues before they start. Kevin Molldrem DDS emphasizes the importance of biannual visits to detect cavities, gum disease, and early signs of oral health problems. During these checkups, professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone can’t eliminate. Digital X-rays help identify hidden problems, ensuring timely intervention. Preventative care saves patients from costly and painful treatments in the future. Dr. Molldrem provides personalized oral hygiene advice, helping patients maintain strong teeth between visits. Regular exams also play a role in detecting oral cancer, which can be life-threatening if left unnoticed. By staying proactive with dental visits, patients enjoy a healthier smile, fresher breath, and improved overall well-being. A commitment to preventative dentistry leads to fewer complications, lower costs, and a confident smile for years to come.
