Dr. Renee Corbitt and her Fort Worth dental team would like to answer your question with another question, “Did you know that poor oral health in the US was called an epidemic during WWI?” It was! In fact, this serious issue kept countless potential soldiers from serving, and caused dentists to shift focus from repairing damage to preventing oral health issues. Tasked with fixing the dental health epidemic, dentists at the time determined visiting the dentist regularly, twice a year, was the best way to improve the nation’s oral health. Today, research findings from the American Dental Association have confirmed this initial suggestion, and more patients than ever are able to maintain a whole, flawless smile for life. If you want to keep your family smiling year after year, we encourage visiting our team at least every six months. Whether you’ve always kept up with your regular appointments or it’s been more than a decade since your last dental exam, our supportive family dentist and team are here to help. Call to schedule an appointment for yourself and every member of your family. Our Forth Worth dental office welcomes patients from all surrounding communities.

Exams and Cleanings from Dr. Renee Corbitt in Ft. Worth, TX
April 28, 2015
The weather is becoming warmer, flowers are blossoming and the Texas Rangers are up to bat! All signs of spring. Another reliable sign is the spring cleaning going on around the neighborhood. At the dental practice of Dr. Renee Corbitt, we’re doing some spring cleaning, too. With regular exams and cleanings, Dr. Corbitt and her team of dental hygienists and assistants are helping people in and around Ft. Worth, TX, have clean, healthy and beautiful smiles.
Exams and cleanings, also known as dental checkups, are at the foundation of good oral health. The American Dental Association recommends that adults and children have regular dental exams and cleaning every six months. At your checkup we’ll clean and polish your teeth, remove plaque and tartar, examine your teeth for decay—especially those deeply grooved molars where decay-causing bacteria tend to hide—inspect your gums for signs of gum disease, and take x-rays when necessary.
The Advantage of Regularly Scheduled Checkups
With regularly scheduled exams and cleanings, Dr. Corbitt and her staff are better able to recognize changes in your oral health. We can compare the condition of your oral health from one visit to the next and react to changes that are concerning. For example, when we notice the first signs of decay, we are able to repair the tooth with a filling while the cavity is still small. Likewise, gum disease has an early stage called gingivitis and an advanced stage called periodontitis. We’d much rather find gum disease and treat its symptoms sooner rather than later. Regular exams and cleanings allow us to do that.
Oral Cancer Screening
At each checkup, we also screen your entire oral cavity for signs of oral cancer. Every year, some 42,000 people are diagnosed with this cancer. Once again, if found early oral cancer is treatable.
