According to Gallup, 66.9 percent of adults in Pennsylvania report having visited the dentist at least once in the past 12 months for dental hygiene and tooth cleaning appointments. This is slightly higher than the national average of 64.7 percent.
In a related poll conducted by Kaiser Family Foundation, Pennsylvania ranked 29th in the nation for overall dental health.
Taking Care of Your Teeth
There is a direct correlation between maintaining routine dental visits and retaining your natural teeth. In the Keiser poll, it was found that states in which fewer adults regularly saw the dentist had the highest number of adults missing all of their natural teeth. For this reason and more, the Pittsburgh dentists at Dentonics strongly recommend visiting our office every six months for professional treatments.
Biannual visits to our office serve a multitude of purposes, but some of the most important are they allow us to fully clean and polish your teeth and to check for minor dental health issues before they become serious problems. They also, of course, allow us to help keep your smile its brightest and most attractive year round.
To schedule an appointment with one of our experienced Pittsburgh dentists, please contact Dentonics, Inc. today. We strive to meet the complete general and cosmetic dental needs of people living in Pittsburgh, Allison Park, and surrounding areas of Pennsylvania.
