Patients of all ages should plan to attend a comprehensive checkup and cleaning every six months on average, or twice each year. These visits are important because there are certain symptoms and warning signs that are only noticeable to a trained eye like Dr. Shaik’s, and his intervention can stop small problems from becoming big ones down the road. We’ll thoroughly examine your teeth, gum tissue, bite, any existing restorative work like crowns and fillings, and more in order to create a full picture of your current oral health. Once we have all of this information at our disposal, we can recommend treatments as needed.

Another constant threat to your smile is plaque and tartar, bacteria-filled substances that are constantly forming within the mouth. Diligent brushing can get rid of plaque well enough, but once it develops into the more stubborn tartar, only professional tools can do the job right. Many patients are surprised to learn that Dr. Shaik personally performs his own cleanings as well! Many people enjoy this personal touch, and he enjoys spending even more dedicated time with each patient during their visit.
