In order to maintain a healthy smile, you should visit our Silver Spring dentist for cleanings and checkups at least twice a year. These visits will ensure that plaque and tartar don’t build up in your teeth, helping to prevent decay.
Your checkups also give Dr. Bassford a chance to detect problems such as cavities or oral cancer before they become severe. If you’re prone to dental issues, we may recommend that you come in more often.
