Dr. Merilynn Yamada, reminding you to visit the dentist during your treatment

Are you brushing and flossing daily properly during your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Yamada? If the answer is yes, we think that’s great! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist here in Burbank every 3-to-6 months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting our office, of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health, especially during treatment at Buena Vista Orthodontics.

Your general dentist can check for problems that might not be seen or felt, detect cavities and early signs of decay, treat oral health problems early and show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth.

During an oral exam your dentist can check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not been to the dentist in the last six months, let us know during your next visit and we will provide a few great references in Burbank or surrounding communities! We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
