Ask Drs. Alexander: Are regular checkups that important?


Our staff at Alexander and Alexander Orthodontics want to know: Are you brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing during your orthodontic treatment? If yes, that’s fantastic! But, don’t forget that it’s also important to visit your general dentist every six months in addition to your visits to our Dallas or Coppell offices. Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. Your dentist can:

• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and early signs of decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth


During an oral exam the doctor will 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, it’s definitely time to schedule an appointment!

We hope you had a great Independence Day weekend! See you soon!
