If it\u2019s been six months or more since your last visit to a dentist, call George A. Hoop, DDS at (239) 594-8817 to schedule a thorough and professional dental cleaning and exam with us!<br \/>\nSo you can spend less time traveling to get the dental care you need, we have a dentist office in North Naples, FL and one in Fort Myers, FL as well. No matter which one you visit, we will provide you with quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">general dentistry<\/a> treatments and many other types of treatments. With our help, you\u2019ll be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get your teeth and gums more thoroughly cleaned than you ever could on your own<\/li>\n<li>Catch signs of dental issues while the problems are still minor<\/li>\n<li>Save money and time in the long run by taking care of your smile and preventing oral health troubles from arising in the first place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have the knowledge and experience to provide the quality care you deserve. Our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/meet-dr-hoop.html\">Dr. Hoop<\/a> has been practicing dentistry for over three decades and has brought together a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/about-us.html\">team of highly-skilled professionals<\/a>.<br \/>\nSo financial concerns don\u2019t have to stand between you and a healthy mouth, we offer many payment options, including financing through third-party lenders like CareCredit or Lending Club.<br \/>\nWe also provide various specials and promotions to show you how much we care about and value you.<\/p>\n<h2>Five Reasons To Get Routine Dental Cleanings &amp; Exams<\/h2>\n<p>Contrary to what you might want to believe, the old adage \u201cIf it isn\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it,\u201d doesn\u2019t apply to your oral health. If you have been or are thinking about putting off your next dental check-up because you are not experiencing any dental pain, we would strongly encourage you to reconsider.<br \/>\nFor one thing, you may be developing plaque or other forms of tooth decay on your teeth and not even know it. Your tooth enamel may seem ultra smooth, but there are actually irregularities in the surface that are so thin that not even a single bristle from a toothbrush can fit inside them to clean away threats to your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing at home are very important, but only professional techniques can provide the deep clean teeth need.<br \/>\nSecondly, we will check for signs of issues that you may not be aware of using some of the most state-of-the-art dental technology on the market. Here are just some of the tools we may use during your examination:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intraoral cameras, which allow us to get a close-up view of various issues<\/li>\n<li>Digital X-rays, which give us the ability to view your whole tooth structure and better plan and perform treatments<\/li>\n<li>3D cone beam scanners that provide panoramic X-rays of your mouth from every angle<\/li>\n<li>A VELscope oral assessment system that detects signs of oral cancer that might otherwise go overlooked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The third reason you should visit us for regular dental evaluations is that we can help you fight bad breath that you may be experiencing. If you have bad breath frequently and\/or severely, we will do our best to determine the cause and help you address it.<br \/>\nWe obviously want to help you keep your mouth healthy, but we also want to assist you in achieving your smile goals, so a fourth reason you should get a dental cleaning from us twice a year is so we can help beautify your grin!<br \/>\nAnd finally, we also want to help patients avoid and\/or treat infections. For example, if tooth decay gets between your tooth roots and your gumline, you could develop an infection there and require a gum disease treatment.<br \/>\nTo keep you happy and feeling good when you visit us, we will do all we can to help you relax. We offer a few comfort options and can even provide an extended appointment at your request so we can work at your pace!<br \/>\nIf you need some help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">relieving dental anxiety<\/a>, we can help you there too with our dental sedation options!<br \/>\nDon\u2019t wait to book your necessary dental cleaning and exam \u2013 call George A. Hoop, DDS at (239) 594-8817 to schedule. You can also swing by either of our Florida dental offices in person during our business hours or use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakeyousmile.com\/contact.html\">online form<\/a> to schedule or ask questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want your smile to stay strong and beautiful for many years to come, don\u2019t let your oral health slip by failing to stay on top of your oral hygiene regimen.
