Scheduling regular dental exams and cleanings at our Woodland Hills office is crucial to maintaining good oral health. It’s recommended that you visit a dental professional at least once every six months. At these visits, Dr. Fredericks will thoroughly clean your teeth and check for any signs of oral health complications like gum disease and oral cancer.
Regular six-month maintenance cleanings apply to the average person. If you already have gum disease, you may need to come as frequently as four times a year, to manage and control the disease, so it doesn’t become worse. Gum disease is a chronic condition, like high blood pressure. We can’t cure it but we can help you manage it.
Neglecting to schedule regular cleanings and exams may result in poor oral health and the development of easily preventable conditions. We’re proud to provide service to patients in Southern California areas like Chatsworth and West Hills.
