You’re looking over last year’s planner and realize you saw the dentist only once or not at all! Don’t worry; it’s easy to get an appointment at Southeast Family Dental.

In this blog, we share four signs you’re overdue for a dental checkup and teeth cleaning in Indianapolis and why early summer is a great time to schedule a visit.

Are You Overdue for a Dental Visit?

Visiting the dentist every six months can be challenging, especially for busy individuals. However, a little time in the dental chair saves you a lot of time later on by helping to prevent ongoing oral health conditions.

Additionally, early summer is a great time to get back on track.

The warm months are a time of indulgence and connecting with family and friends. Ensure your teeth (and smile) are up to the task.

Here are the signs you’re overdue for a dental visit:

#1 You Can’t Recall the Last Time You Went to the Dentist

Life gets busy, and important things like dental care are easily forgotten. We understand, but it’s not too late to reclaim your dental health.

#2 You’ve Noticed Oral Health Changes

You have a sore on the gum that isn’t healing correctly. You’ve noticed tooth sensitivity or recurring bad breath. These are all signs that indicate you should see your Indianapolis dentist as soon as possible.

#3 Your Usually Vibrant Smile Looks a Little Discolored

Teeth cleanings help remove surface stains from your teeth, which is just one reason to visit your dentist for a comprehensive preventive appointment every six months.

#4 You Canceled the Last Few Visits

You had an appointment before the holidays, but were too busy to keep it. You meant to reschedule but forgot. We encourage you to contact our dental team today to book an individual visit or appointments for the entire family.
