When was your last checkup?

Even if you brush and floss daily, as well as maintain your braces, it is still important to visit your dentist approximately every 6 months or as recommended. Why?

• Your dentist can detect and treat any tooth or gum problems that you may have never felt or noticed.


• Even thorough daily oral care may not be enough to prevent cavities and/or decay.


• Routine visits can allow your dentist to treat any problems early to prevent future complications.

When having an oral exam done, your dentist can check the overall health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Check-ups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing . If you are in need of a referral, please let us know and Dr. Sondhi or Dr. Biggs would be happy to help you in any way they can.

Importance of Dental Health

Dr. Biggs and some of the Sondhi-Biggs staff recently visited several elementary schools in honor of National Orthodontic Health Month. The purpose of the visit was to emphasize the importance of regular brushing, flossing and routine dental check-ups with the child's dentist. Dr. Biggs explained some of the important factors for children to understand regarding maintaining their dental health now that they are starting to grow their permanent teeth. A short presentation and video was shown, and our hope is to help motivate the young students to practice good oral hygiene to enhance their overall dental health.
