\"\"<\/a>Fall is approaching, the weather is starting to cool down and your kids are heading back to school. What better time than now to come in for you or your child\u2019s regular dental checkup<\/a>? At Dr. King Scott\u2019s dental office<\/a>, we recommend that you visit us twice a year for your regular dental checkup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our dental checkups <\/strong>consist of three parts: a soft tissue and oral cancer exam, thorough inspection of each tooth, and a comprehensive periodontal exam. Together, this helps to ensure a healthy smile. While regular brushing and flossing is an important part of smile care, it\u2019s not enough to ensure a healthy smile. Smile care is important no matter how old you are. Once your child is four or five years old, they should have regular dental checkups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back to school can often be a hectic time, so make sure to schedule an appointment today for you or your child. Making the time for this appointment now will help ensure a healthy smile for years to come. Dental checkups <\/strong>are an important part of preventative dentistry and can help to catch small problems before they cause major damage to your smile.<\/p>\n

Dr. King Scott\u2019s West Monroe, LA dental office <\/strong>wants all our patients to have beautiful, healthy smiles. We serve patients from Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, <\/strong>and all of greater North Louisiana<\/strong>. <\/strong>Call us<\/a> <\/strong>today to schedule an appointment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
