Posts for tag: Dental Checkup
Sunday, June 15 is Father’s Day. Besides the tie, cologne or shaving kit, think about giving him a gift that is significantly more long-lasting: Encouraging him to make a trip to Dr. Lewis’ office for a dental check-up.
While a dental check-up may not sound like a typical gift, think again: A man’s dental health closely impacts the health of his entire body. Plus, a dental cleaning can help keep cavities and decay at bay. Cleaner, healthier teeth means your dad is free from the aches and pains that can accompany irritated gums and damaged teeth.
Dental cleanings are typically performed once every six months. At a visit, a dental hygienist will scrape away built-up bacteria known as plaque that can harden on the teeth and lead to decay. Additionally, Dr. Lewis inspects the teeth for signs of decay and gums for signs of oral cancer.
Even if your dad has kept his recent appointment at our New Port Richey dentist office, maybe the time is right to consider another professional service. This includes cosmetic dentistry. These procedures have grown in popularity among men. Service examples we offer include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening and bonding to repair small chips or cracks in the teeth. Dr. Lewis also restores dental implants created via CEREC or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. This machine enables Dr. Lewis to create a new crown that covers a dental implant in a single office visit -- a service that used to take several weeks and multiple trips to the dentist.
Your father’s health is an important and vital gift. By encouraging him to get regular physician check-ups and at least twice-yearly dental visits, you can ensure you will celebrate many Father’s Days with him.
For more information on keeping your teeth clean in New Port Richey, please call Dr. Lewis’ office at (727) 372-7887.
