Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about preventive dental care
How often should I have dental checkups?
Most patients should have dental checkups and cleanings every six months. However, some patients with gum disease or other risk factors may need more frequent visits, typically every 3-4 months.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes, dental X-rays are very safe. We use digital X-rays that emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. The amount of radiation is minimal and comparable to natural background radiation.
What's included in a dental cleaning?
A professional cleaning includes removal of plaque and tartar, polishing of teeth, flossing, and fluoride treatment if needed. We also check your gums for signs of disease and provide oral hygiene education.
Do cleanings hurt?
Most patients find cleanings comfortable. You may experience some sensitivity if you have gum inflammation or haven’t had a cleaning in a while, but our gentle techniques minimize any discomfort.
What can I do at home to maintain oral health?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, use an antimicrobial mouthwash, eat a balanced diet, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and avoid tobacco products.
Why is preventive care important?
Preventive care helps detect problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat. It also helps prevent serious conditions like gum disease, tooth loss, and oral cancer, while maintaining your overall health.
