Common FAQs to Dentist - Series 01

How often should I visit the dentist?
Most people should visit the dentist every six months for routine cleanings and checkups. However, some patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, or other oral health issues may need more frequent visits. Your dentist will recommend the best schedule based on your individual needs.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
For severe tooth pain, knocked-out teeth, or dental trauma, contact our office immediately. If it's after hours, we provide an emergency dental appointments. For a knocked-out tooth, try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk until you can see us. For severe pain, you can take over-the-counter pain medication as directed.

Does dental treatment hurt?
Modern dentistry uses effective numbing techniques to minimize discomfort. Most routine procedures like cleanings and fillings involve little to no pain. For more extensive procedures, we offer various sedation options to help you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your treatment.

How can I prevent cavities and gum disease?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks, don't smoke, and visit your dentist regularly. Using an antimicrobial mouthwash can also help reduce bacteria in your mouth. An electric toothbrush is better than a normal toothbrush.

What payment options do you accept?
We accept most major health insurance plans, cash, credit cards, and offer payment plans for larger treatments. We'll verify your insurance benefits before treatment and provide quote/cost estimates. We also work with financing companies to help make dental care more affordable.

At what age should children first see a dentist?
Children should have their first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish good oral hygiene habits and allow us to monitor proper tooth development.

What's the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar from above the gum line and is typically done every six months. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes buildup below the gum line and is a treatment for gum disease. Deep cleanings are usually done in sections and may require numbing.

How long do dental procedures take?
Routine cleanings typically take 45-60 minutes. Fillings usually take 30-60 minutes depending on size and location. Crowns require two visits on the same day. Root canals can take 1-3 appointments, depending on complexity. We'll always give you time estimates when scheduling.
