In order to keep a full, healthy set of teeth, you need to see your dentist. Even though we know that you are taking the time to brush and floss like you’re supposed to, there simply just might be places you miss. Your biannual checkups offer a chance to check in with a qualified dentist, and that’s a real opportunity. So, if it has been a while since your last cleaning and examination, take a few minutes to care for yourself.
With Dr. Jay Cook, DDS, at Family First Dental in Overland Park, KS, you can focus on your oral health. Our team is built to help people just like you find their way to a stronger, safer smile, and that starts with your next biannual dental checkup.

And if you’ve been longer than six months, it’s time for your next visit.
Keeping up with your checkups is a real oral health advantage. Schedule your next biannual dental checkup at Family First Dental.
You’re Need Two Visits Per Year
That’s the general recommendation, and if you’ve been skipping your biannual dental checkups, it’s time to make a change. These visits are very helpful at keeping tooth decay and periodontal disease away through cleanings and visual examinations with a trusted dental provider. We can also take any advanced imagery during these appointments to see what’s going on beneath the gumline.
When you skip your checkups, your oral health becomes your responsibility alone. That’s just too much for one person to handle, especially when it is so tough to see what you are doing. In the areas you miss, bacterial buildup of plaque and calculus can start to pile up.
Your Checkup’s A Chance To Chat
You don’t get that many times each year when you can talk face-to-face with a qualified dental care professional. And well, if you have been skipping your biannual dental checkups, then you might not have had that opportunity in a while.
Let’s change that with your next visit. We can remove plaque and calculus with effective ultrasonic cleaning, helping you to avoid tooth decay and periodontal disease. This is also a good time to bring up any changes that you’d like to see, including removing stains with safe and effective at-home teeth whitening.
