Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the dentist for general dentistry?

It is generally recommended to visit the dentist every six months for regular check-ups and cleanings. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits based on your individual needs.

What should I expect during my first visit?

During your first general dentistry visit, you will receive a comprehensive examination, including X-rays if necessary. The dentist will discuss your oral health history and any concerns you may have.

Do you treat children?

Yes! We provide children’s dentistry services to ensure that young patients receive the best care for their developing teeth.

What should I do in case of a dental emergency?

If you experience a dental emergency, contact us immediately. We offer emergency dental care to address urgent issues such as severe pain, injury, or infection.

How can I prevent cavities?

Maintaining good oral hygiene practices—such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly—can help prevent cavities.

Why do I need a professional dental clean even if I brush every day?

Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t eliminate, preventing cavities and gum disease. They also allow for early detection of dental issues, freshen breath, and contribute to overall health by reducing risks associated with poor oral hygiene.

Why do I need dental X-rays?

Dental X-rays help dentists detect issues not visible during a regular exam, such as cavities, gum disease, and even some types of oral cancer. They’re essential for early diagnosis and treatment planning.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often should I have them?

Dental X-rays are generally safe, using low radiation levels. Most people with healthy teeth and gums should have them every 6 to 18 months. However, frequency depends on individual oral health needs and should be determined by your dentist.

What is plaque, and why is it bad for my teeth?

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. If not removed regularly, it can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.

Why are good oral hygiene routines important?

Good oral hygiene prevents tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. It also contributes to overall health by reducing the risks of conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes complications associated with poor oral health.

What toothpaste is most suitable for my teeth?

The best toothpaste depends on your specific needs. Generally, look for toothpastes with fluoride for cavity protection.

Are electric toothbrushes better than manual toothbrushes?

Electric toothbrushes are generally considered more effective than manual toothbrushes, as they remove plaque more effectively and prevent gingivitis.

How does snacking affect my teeth?

Yes. Frequent snacking means your teeth are exposed to acid attacks more often throughout the day and can erode tooth enamel.
