Don’t Skip It: Your Smile Depends on That Cleaning

At Sheridan Dental, we believe prevention is the foundation of lasting oral health. Dr. Raymond Sheridan and Dr. Corey Sheridan are passionate about helping patients of all ages maintain strong, healthy smiles through regular dental care. One of the simplest yet most effective steps you can take is staying on schedule with your six-month cleaning and checkup. It may seem like a routine task, but these visits are critical to keeping your teeth and gums in top shape.

More Than Just a Cleaning

Many people think of dental cleanings as just a polish for their smile, but they’re much more than that. These appointments give our team the opportunity to assess the health of your mouth in detail. At Sheridan Dental, we use each six-month visit to check for cavities, monitor gum health, screen for oral cancer, and evaluate any signs of early dental issues. By catching problems before they become painful or expensive, we help you avoid more complex treatment down the line.

The Hidden Risk of Plaque and Tartar

Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits at home, it’s impossible to completely remove all plaque on your own. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed with professional tools. If left unchecked, tartar buildup can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Our professional cleanings clear away what your toothbrush can’t reach and leave your smile fresher and healthier.

Early Detection Means Easier Treatment

Your routine exam also includes screening for oral health conditions you may not be aware of—especially gum disease and early-stage decay. With tools like the VELscope® for oral cancer screening, we can detect subtle changes in your soft tissue that might signal a problem before symptoms appear. Catching these concerns early means your treatment will be simpler, less invasive, and more effective.

A Stronger Smile for Life

Every six-month visit is a chance to reset and protect your dental health. Cleanings help prevent tooth decay and gum inflammation, while exams ensure any concerns are addressed early. These appointments also give us a chance to offer personalized advice based on your current habits and needs. Whether it’s a small dietary change or switching your brushing technique, we’re here to help you get the most out of your daily routine.

Caring for the Whole Family

Sheridan Dental provides general and preventative care for patients of every age, from young children to older adults. We tailor each visit to your unique needs, whether you’re maintaining a healthy smile or managing more complex concerns. Our goal is to make every appointment comfortable, informative, and worthwhile.
