Dental Health Health Center

It is important to make routine appointments with your health care provider every six months for a dental check-up and examination in order to maintain good dental health.

Tooth Decay:

• Call your dentist or dental hygienist if you have a toothache or show any other symptoms of tooth decay.

Gum Disease:

• Make an appointment with your dentist or periodontist to receive a diagnosis and treatment options if you are showing any signs of gum disease.

Dry Mouth:

• If you think you have dry mouth, see your dentist or health care provider. He or she should be able to determine what is causing your dry mouth.

Oral Cancer:

• Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are experiencing soreness in your mouth or lip or discover a lump in the neck that does not go away within 1 month. Early diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer greatly increases the chances of survival.
