Why, do you ask? Well, do you like having a mouth that functions properly while looking and feeling great? That\u2019s what general checkups can help ensure. Opting out of receiving a regular checkup is like playing with fire. Sure, your mouth could be in the best shape it\u2019s ever been health-wise, and you could be brushing and flossing like a pro. All of that is great! But, it\u2019s important to know that even though you\u2019re practicing the best dental-health hygiene, it doesn\u2019t mean your mouth can\u2019t be invaded by diseases. Sometimes, the symptoms for some oral diseases go unnoticed. That\u2019s why it\u2019s vital to receive a proper oral health check, or regular dental exam. Our office in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.votodds.com\/contact-us.html\">Owasso, OK<\/a> wants to ensure that everyone in your family is living their life with a healthy mouth. Deciding on how often to bring them in for a checkup is sometimes confusing, but we\u2019re here to clear it up. Dr. Gene Drake and Dr. Jayson Voto are the family dentists Owasso can trust!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Regular Checkups for Your Family<\/h3>\n<p>A beautiful smile is a terrible thing to waste. Regular checkups help keep your family\u2019s smiles in tip-top shape. Let\u2019s face it, you\u2019re not a dentist. Your kids aren\u2019t dental hygienists. Even though you may know what\u2019s best for you and your family\u2019s oral health, you should leave that to us. General checkups allow us to look deep into your mouth where your eyes can\u2019t see. Sure, you could be looking at every one of your child\u2019s teeth to ensure there are no problems, but you don\u2019t have the tools or the expertise like we do. We offer a gentle hand in your family\u2019s oral health.<\/p>\n<p>Tooth decay, gum disease and other oral issues are no match for our professionalism and expertise. If it\u2019s a thorough cleaning you\u2019re looking for, you\u2019re in for a treat. Tartar will be removed and treatment will end with a fresh tooth polish. If any type of disease is discovered, we\u2019ll discuss a customized treatment plan to get your smile to where it needs be. We deeply care about the oral health of your family and one step in keeping it in excellent shape is by being proactive and scheduling a regular exam. We recommend coming in for one whenever you\u2019d like, though the standard is usually twice in one year, or every six months. If you need more, our office will be glad to treat you.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule Your Exam Today<\/h3>\n<p>Put your family\u2019s oral health in our hands and we will deliver the best results possible. Our Owasso, OK office is proud to accept families from all over, including Limestone, Valley Park, Collinsville, Skiatook and beyond. If you\u2019re looking for a dentist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.votodds.com\/contact-us.html\">Owasso, OK<\/a> residents can turn to for their family\u2019s oral health, look no further than Dr. Drake or Dr. Voto. We can\u2019t wait to see you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental checkups are very important. Why, do you ask?
