College Students Need
Dentists, Too
The other day, a
patient of mine came in for a regular check up -- for the first time in two
years. She is a college student who spends most of the year away at school.
With everything going on at school, it can be easy to forget about scheduling
visits to see the Dentist Clarendon Hills. We see this a lot with patients; they maintain
regular check-ups from childhood all the way through high school, and then they
go away to school and disappear for a few years. When they come back, though,
they have to make up for lost time, and they face much more complications than the
patients who have been regularly visiting their Clarendon Hills Dentist.
When my patient
stopped in for an appointment, she was showing the beginnings of gum disease.
There was a lot of build-up on her teeth, and her gums were beginning to
recede. Had more time passed, the periodontal disease could have advanced to a
more severe stage. Although it was clear that she was trying to keep up with
her oral health through regular brushing and flossing, the Dentist Clarendon Hills IL has the
tools to target and clean the spots that are easily missed.
It is important to be
proactive about making appointments to prevent gum disease and other
complications such as tooth decay and cavities. You should schedule appointments
at time when you know you will be home for breaks. If you stop in to see your
Clarendon Hills IL Dentist over winter break and then over summer break, you will be able to
maintain good oral health. If this timing does not work, you could also
schedule appointments during a fall break and spring break.
To schedule your next
appointment with your Dentist in Clarendon Hills, give our office a call.
