Checkups & Cleanings from Your Colorado Springs Dentist

Did you know recent studies show that women maintain better oral health than men? The research was conducted to find the differences between the oral health practices in the sexes so dentists could spot weak points that need to be improved for every patient. The information was generated after a questioning 800 men and women and having them undergo oral health exams pertaining to the maintenance of healthy gums and periodontal disease (advanced gum disease). Results proved that women were more likely to schedule and keep their dental appointments twice a year as well as alter their dental hygiene habits depending on the results compared to men. Your Colorado Springs dentist isn’t here to scold male patients or even female patients that haven’t met their full dental health potential. Anderson Family Dental is here to help every patient, no matter which sex, get their health back on track and maintain a strong smile for years to come.
