\"Mother<\/a>Dr. Renee Corbitt and her Fort Worth dental team would like to answer your question with another question, \u201cDid you know that poor oral health in the US was called an epidemic during WWI?\u201d It was! In fact, this serious issue kept countless potential soldiers from serving, and caused dentists to shift focus from repairing damage to preventing oral health issues. Tasked with fixing the dental health epidemic, dentists at the time determined visiting the dentist regularly, twice a year, was the best way to improve the nation\u2019s oral health. Today, research findings from the American Dental Association have confirmed this initial suggestion, and more patients than ever are able to maintain a whole, flawless smile for life. If you want to keep your family smiling year after year, we encourage visiting our team at least every six months. Whether you\u2019ve always kept up with your regular appointments or it\u2019s been more than a decade since your last dental exam, our supportive family dentist and team are here to help. Call<\/a> to schedule an appointment for yourself and every member of your family. Our Forth Worth dental office welcomes patients from all surrounding communities.

Regular Visits for Kids<\/h2>\n

Some kids we treat who started out with a pediatric dentist find the transition to be a little bit scary. Unless your little one has serious dental development concerns that require intervention from a specialist, we encourage you to start them out with us from the very beginning. As soon as their very first tooth erupts, we\u2019ll be your child\u2019s advocates and partners in keeping their teeth healthy and beautiful. Most importantly, we\u2019ll create an atmosphere where your child feels right at home, and it\u2019s our goal to make them look forward to visiting us year after year.<\/p>\n

Regular Visits for Adults<\/h2>\n

As we age, our smiles come up against a different set of oral health concerns than they did when we were younger. In order to ensure the complete health of your smile throughout your lifetime, it\u2019s essential that you visit with our team at least two times each year. During these oral health exams<\/a>, we\u2019ll screen for common oral health concerns, answer your questions, and develop personalized treatment plans to keep you smiling.<\/p>\n

Long Term Benefits of Preventive Dentistry<\/h2>\n

Before the shift to preventive dental care that started around the time of the First World War, dentures were a common wedding present because people expected to need them. Today, we partner with patients to keep their smiles healthy, and more people than ever before are able to keep their natural smiles for a lifetime.
