If you take good care of your teeth at home, including brushing after every meal and snack, as well as flossing at least once a day, you may wonder why you need to see your Dumont general dentist for regularly scheduled cleanings. The answer to that is that failure to see a dentist every six month can allow simple dental hygiene issues to become serious problems, and these problems can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss.

To schedule an appointment with Bergenfield dentist Dr. Howard Perlmutter, please contact Dumont Cosmetic Dental or call 201-384-9292 today.

The Importance of Dental Visits

At home, you can remove a lot of plaque and bacteria from your mouth, but even the most rigorous at-home routine cannot prevent all potential issues. To ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy, you need a professional cleaning every six months.

In addition to keeping your teeth optimally clean, your general dentistry visits allow Bergenfield dentist Dr. Perlmutter to check for issues such as tooth decay and gum disease, helping prevent invasive and often expensive treatments down the road.
