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.
