Preventing Dental Issues Today for a Healthier Tomorrow

When is the last time that you’ve been to the dentist? While many people avoid routine checkups because of time or money, regular dental visits actually save you both! At Woodcreek Family Dental, Dr. Oliver Villaruel and Dr. Christine Foley take pride in providing quality care for patients of all ages in Murphy. They are both experienced in preventing and detecting dental issues before they become more extensive and expensive. Read on to learn why you should make sure that you and your whole family are receiving regular checkups and cleanings at least twice a year.

The Importance of Biannual Checkups & Cleanings
Besides your at-home oral healthcare routine, biannual checkups and cleanings are your best defense against dental issues. In fact, our highly-trained hygienists can clean away plaque and tartar buildup that you simply can’t reach at home, preventing issues like cavities and decay. These visits should never be prolonged because small issues can turn into much more severe dental problems.
Unlike other medical conditions that get better with time, dental issues will only get worse. Additionally, many dental problems like cavities and infection aren’t obvious to the untrained eye, making routine visits to our office imperative to your oral health.
