Periodic Exams
The American Dental Association recommends a comprehensive dental exam starting at age two and Periodic Examinations every six months for your lifetime.
Regular dental examinations allow us to catch problems early. By doing so, we can help you avoid more costly procedures later and help you keep as many teeth as possible for your lifetime.
At your periodic exam, Drs. Fort and Schilling will take all the necessary x-rays and discuss with you any concerns that may have come up since your last visit.
