Dental Hygiene
Dental Hygiene
Preventative care is a foundation of David B. Fisher at Houston Dentist. The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist regularly – usually about twice yearly – for full cleanings, examinations, and consultations for potential treatment. Professional dental cleanings help remove built-up plaque that is not removable using conventional brushing and flossing. Dr. Fisher is also capable of identifying potential problems that patients are not yet able to see or feel. When you maintain regular preventative dental appointments at David B. Fisher D.D.S. in Bellaire, Texas you can stave off decay and gum disease, as well as identify the beginnings of oral health problems before they become severe.

Did you know…
that Americans are less and less likely to visit the dentist as they age? Data from the Centers for Disease Control reports that only 57 percent of Americans over age 65 visited the dentist in 2010. That compares to about 61 percent adults under age 65 and about 79 percent of children ages 2 to 17. Nonetheless, it is important to visit the dentist for cleanings and exams regardless of how long has passed since your most recent dental appointment.
