FAQ: General Dental

  • How often should I visit the dentist?

    It's best to visit the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. Some people may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health.

  • Is flossing really necessary?

    Yes, flossing helps remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and below the gumline, areas your toothbrush can't reach.

  • Does whitening damage my teeth?

    Professional whitening, when done properly, is safe for your teeth. Overusing whitening products or using them incorrectly can cause sensitivity or damage.

  • Why do my gums bleed when I brush or floss?

    Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum inflammation or gingivitis. It usually means you need to clean your teeth more thoroughly, not less, but if it persists, you should visit your dentist.

  • What can I do to prevent cavities?

    Brush twice a day, floss daily, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and maintain regular dental visits for preventive care.

  • Why do I need dental X-rays?

    X-rays help us see areas of your teeth and jaw that aren’t visible during a regular exam. They allow us to detect cavities, bone loss, and other problems early

  • What causes bad breath, and how can I fix it?

    Bad breath can be caused by poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, or certain foods. Brushing, flossing, scraping your tongue, and regular dental check-ups can help keep your breath fresh.

  • When should my child first see a dentist?

    The American Dental Association recommends that a child’s first dental visit should be after their first tooth appears, but no later than their first birthday.

  • Are silver (amalgam) fillings safe?

    Yes, many studies have shown that amalgam fillings are safe and effective. If you have concerns, there are also tooth-colored alternatives available.

  • What can I do for sensitive teeth?

    Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth, avoid acidic foods and drinks, brush gently with a soft-bristled brush, and see your dentist for other treatment options if the problem continues.

  • Is it possible to straighten my teeth as an adult?

    Yes! Many adults now use braces or clear aligners. It’s never too late to improve your smile.

  • How can I prevent gum disease?

    Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, quitting smoking, and eating a balanced diet will help keep your gums healthy.

  • Do I really need to get my wisdom teeth removed?

    Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. We assess each case based on whether there are signs of impaction, crowding, or infection.

  • Why do I need a crown instead of a filling?

    When a tooth is broken or severely decayed, a filling may not be strong enough. A crown restores strength and function to the tooth.

  • My teeth are crooked, but only a little. Do I need braces?

    Even mild misalignment can affect your bite and make cleaning more difficult. We can discuss options based on your goals and needs.

FAQ: Appointments & Payments

FAQ: First Visit & Comfort Options

  • You’ll fill out a short health form, then we’ll do a comprehensive exam: low-dose X-rays and a consultation.

    We’ll explain any findings, answer your questions, and propose a personalized treatment plan.

FAQ: Treatments & Aftercare

  • Treat it like a natural tooth—brush gently twice a day, floss daily, and avoid chewing extremely hard objects (ice, pens).

    Attend your six-month check-ups so we can inspect and polish as needed.

  • With proper care (daily brushing, flossing, and six-month check-ups), implants can last 15–20 years or more.

    We use high-quality titanium implants and guide placement with 3-D scans for optimal success.

  • A bridge is permanently fixed between healthy teeth or implants to replace one or more missing teeth.

    A denture is removable and can replace several or all teeth. We’ll recommend the best fit for your comfort, budget, and bone health.

  • Signs include lingering pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a dark spot on the tooth. We’ll use digital X-rays to confirm whether the tooth’s nerve is infected and explain why a root canal treatment might save your tooth.

FAQ: Child & Family Care

  • Of course. We have a small play corner to keep little ones entertained. If you need your child checked at the same time, let us know in advance so we can block enough time.

  • Start brushing twice a day using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste once their first tooth appears. Introduce flossing by age 2 or when two teeth touch (parents can help with this). Kids should be able to start flossing themselves after the age of 7.

    You can bring your child in for a check-up by their first birthday.
