Dr. Mary Rose Twohig recommends that you schedule a hygiene appointment regularly for a cleaning and checkup.  Twohig Dentistry has two wonderful hygienists, Lucie and Melissa, who are dedicated to making sure you have a great experience during your hygiene appointment.   They agree with Dr. Mary Rose that coming in regularly for a checkup is important for your oral health, as well as your overall health.

Why Is It Important to Visit Your Dentist Regularly?

Plaque and tarter can build up on your teeth between your hygiene visits.  Food, beverages as well as tobacco can stain your teeth as well.  When you come regularly, our hygienists will remove the plaque from your teeth and around your gums.  This will prevent inflammation and irritation around your gums, which could lead to gum diseases like periodontal disease and gingivitis.  Periodontitis has been associated with serious health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.  Visiting your dentist regularly will allow Dr. Mary Rose to keep your oral hygiene healthy and find any issues before they grow into painful problems.
