Your Dental Questions, Answered
Where Comfort & Confidence Begin
How often should I see the dentist?
It’s best to have your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist every six months. Over time, even when you brush your teeth consistently, hard buildup accumulates along the gum line, causing inflammation. A professional cleaning eliminates this. Semiannual dental visits also allow us to provide preventive dental care. We can catch potential cavities and provide the proper care before it’s too late.
How can early intervention prevent cavities from getting worse?
Spotting cavities early allows your dentist to treat them before they grow, preventing pain, infection, and more extensive procedures like fillings, crowns, or root canals. Early intervention keeps your teeth healthy and helps maintain a strong, lasting smile.
What are the benefits of regular oral cancer and periodontal screenings?
Regular screenings help detect problems early, often before symptoms appear. Oral cancer screenings can identify signs of cancer at its most treatable stage, while periodontal screenings catch gum disease early, protecting your teeth, gums, and overall health. Early detection means more effective, less invasive treatment.
How can preventive care help avoid dental emergencies?
Preventive care, like regular cleanings and checkups, helps catch small issues such as cavities, gum disease, or cracks before they turn into painful emergencies. Staying on top of your oral health reduces the risk of unexpected dental problems and costly treatments.
I have sensitive teeth. Did I do anything wrong?
You could just have naturally sensitive teeth, or there could be something more serious going on. Some causes of tooth sensitivity include thinning enamel, periodontal disease, or a damaged tooth. If you’ve noticed a change in your tooth sensitivity, call us to make an appointment so we can help diagnose and treat your issue.
