General Dentistry
At Brown & Fortner Dental Group, we recommend that most patients visit us every six months for a routine exam and professional cleaning. These regular checkups are key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy and catching potential issues before they become bigger problems.
Why Twice a Year?
Plaque and tartar can build up even with excellent brushing and flossing at home. During your cleaning, our hygienists use specialized tools to remove buildup in hard-to-reach areas, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. Exams also give Dr. Brown and Dr. Fortner a chance to check for early signs of decay, oral cancer, and other concerns that might not yet be causing symptoms.
Some Patients May Need More Frequent Visits
If you have a history of gum disease, a lot of dental work, or a condition like diabetes that affects oral health, we may recommend coming in every 3–4 months. We’ll let you know what’s best for your oral health.
Preventive Care Pays Off
Routine visits help protect your health and your wallet. Preventive care is more affordable and far less stressful than treating a dental emergency down the road. We're here to make your visits easy, comfortable, and worthwhile.
