Get those regular checkups! From Dr. Mike and Hilgers Orthodontics

Dr. Mike Hilgers wants to know: is your child brushing his or her teeth twice a day as recommended during their treatment? If yes, he thinks that's fantastic! But, it’s also important for your child to visit the dentist every six months in addition to brushing their teeth a couple times a day (and visiting Hilgers Orthodontics as recommended by Dr. Hilgers during your treatment). Our staff will tell you regular dental checkups are vital for maintaining good oral health. Your dentist can:

• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and signs of tooth decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show your child how to properly brush and floss their teeth, even during their orthodontic treatment

During an oral exam, your dentist will check the health of your child’s mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups also typically include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If your child has not been to the dentist in the past six months, it’s time for you to schedule an appointment!

If you don't have a general dentist in Goodyear or nearby communities, please ask and we'll be happy to provide one!

Dr. Mike and Hilgers Orthodontics want to know: What should we blog about?

As summer quickly closes in, our staff at Hilgers Orthodontics strive to continue writing about important topics related to braces and your treatment with Goodyear orthodontist Dr. Mike Hilgers.

To help us continue blogging through the course of the long, hot Arizona summer, however, we'd like to get your opinion: What would you like us to focus on our blog over the next few months?
