In order to do that, we need three things from you: regular brushing, flossing and maintaining your six month visits to Mitchell Smile Design. When you schedule and keep your appointments, we can take care of the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What We Look For<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your twice-annual visit to Dr. Mitchell\u2019s office is our chance to peek inside your mouth to make sure everything is as healthy as it should be. We look for a variety of things in these checkups, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evidence of tooth decay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Red, swollen, tender or receding gums that indicate gum disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Checking to make sure you\u2019re maintaining good oral hygiene at home<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wear and tear on existing dental work<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Signs of oral cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many of these conditions, tooth decay and gum disease especially, are easily repaired or reversed when caught early &#8212; but you have to give us the chance to look for them, first. And in addition to your checkup, our team of gentle dental hygienists also removes plaque and tartar spots from your teeth in the cleaning portion, meaning you walk out of our office with that amazing, clean-mouth feeling. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dental Services Mitchell Smile Design Offers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on the results of your checkup, Dr. Mitchell may recommend any one of our dental services to help restore or maintain your oral health.
