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.
Regular Visits for Kids
Some kids we treat who started out with a pediatric dentist find the transition to be a little bit scary. Unless your little one has serious dental development concerns that require intervention from a specialist, we encourage you to start them out with us from the very beginning. As soon as their very first tooth erupts, we’ll be your child’s advocates and partners in keeping their teeth healthy and beautiful. Most importantly, we’ll create an atmosphere where your child feels right at home, and it’s our goal to make them look forward to visiting us year after year.
Regular Visits for Adults
As we age, our smiles come up against a different set of oral health concerns than they did when we were younger. In order to ensure the complete health of your smile throughout your lifetime, it’s essential that you visit with our team at least two times each year. During these oral health exams, we’ll screen for common oral health concerns, answer your questions, and develop personalized treatment plans to keep you smiling.
Long Term Benefits of Preventive Dentistry
Before the shift to preventive dental care that started around the time of the First World War, dentures were a common wedding present because people expected to need them. Today, we partner with patients to keep their smiles healthy, and more people than ever before are able to keep their natural smiles for a lifetime.
