We hope you and your loved ones are starting 2016 off with a bang. In the spirit of fresh starts and new beginnings, we thought it would be an excellent time to remind you that nothing improves your oral and overall wellbeing like regular dental checkups from your dentist in State College, PA! Our team is looking forward to serving you and your family in 2016 &#8212; keep reading to learn why checkups are so important, then contact us to schedule your appointment today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthy Teeth Require Twice Annual Checkups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know you\u2019d like to keep your healthy, beautiful teeth for a lifetime. We\u2019ll let you in on a little secret &#8212; you can do so by maintaining excellent oral hygiene habits right now. That includes brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing daily and visiting your dentist in State College every six months. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What We Check For: Tooth Decay, Gum Disease and Worn Dental Work<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you stay on top of your twice annual checkups and cleanings, you give us the chance to make sure your teeth are healthy and decay-free &#8212; and that your gums aren\u2019t showing any evidence of gum disease. Red, swollen, tender gums can indicate you\u2019ve got the condition that affects more than 75 percent of Americans, but when it\u2019s caught early, gum disease is easily treated and often reversed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to tooth decay and gum infections, we\u2019ll also check to make sure all existing hardware in your mouth is in good shape. You may rarely think about that crown you had decades ago, but when something goes wrong with it you surely will. We\u2019ll check in and notice worn dental work before it causes major problems, saving you time, stress and discomfort in the long run. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental Cleanings Give You That Fresh Feeling<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, your twice annual visit isn\u2019t only about the exam. Your teeth also receive a thorough cleaning from<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the611dentist.com\/meet-the-team.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> our team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of expert dental hygienists and assistants. There\u2019s nothing better than walking out of the dental office with smooth, sparkling teeth &#8212; and we think it\u2019s a wonderful way to start off 2016!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule Your First Appointment of the Year Today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, commit to your health by starting with your teeth.
