At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we are passionate about helping create beautiful and natural-looking smiles for our patients. We regularly see patients who don’t have the same smile they did in the past. Patients often feel disheartened and self-conscious when they have problems with their oral health. Our goal is to help restore our patients’ teeth and smiles to something that improves their quality of life.
At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we are passionate about helping our patients achieve lasting oral health. This is why we frequently remind them about the importance of receiving routine oral hygiene examinations and cleanings as recommended by our team. We recommend that most of our patients visit our office for an examination every four to six months, depending on their needs and their oral health. Aside from cleaning teeth, during these visits, we look for issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.
We love seeing our patients each time they come to our office. In addition to hearing about what has been happening in their personal lives, we are also interested in any medical changes since their last visit. Each time you come to our office, it is necessary to share everything you can about your medical history, including any recent diagnosis, procedure, or medication. You may be surprised to learn that this information can change how we treat oral health. Many medications, prescription as well as over-the-counter, benefit your overall health but can also cause problems with your oral health.
Do you have an upcoming special event this summer and you are looking to improve your smile? At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we have a number of cosmetic dentistry treatments that can bring about any change you would like to see in your smile. The summer is a popular time for special events such as weddings, reunions, graduation parties, and vacations. While some treatments may not be completed in time for this summer, they would be perfect for an event this fall or winter.
