Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get dental cleanings and exams?
The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for regular dental cleanings and exams. Depending on your health we might suggest more frequent visits. These routine checkups are key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
Are dental cleanings painful?
Most professional cleanings are pain free, although you might feel slight pressure or sensitivity. Our dental professionals use gentle techniques and make your comfort a priority. If you ever feel discomfort let us know so we can adjust.
What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gumline, while a deep cleaning is below the gums. Deep cleanings are usually recommended for patients with periodontal disease or heavy tartar buildup. We’ll let you know which one is right for you after your exam.
Do I really need an oral cancer screening?
Yes, it’s part of your exam. Oral cancer screening helps detect early signs of cancer before symptoms appear. Early detection means better treatment and peace of mind.
Do new patients need x-rays?
Yes, dental x rays help us get a complete picture of your oral health. They allow us to detect hidden decay, bone issues or potential implant needs. For new patients x-rays are often part of your first visit.
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend scheduling dental cleanings and exams every six months for optimal oral health. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits based on your specific needs.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit typically includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a discussion about your dental health goals. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan for you.
How often should I brush my teeth, and what is the proper technique?
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, especially before bed, using a soft-bristle toothbrush and an ADA-approved toothpaste. For the best results:
- Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums.
- Use gentle, circular motions to brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of each tooth.
- Don’t forget to brush the inside of your front teeth and your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
Electric toothbrushes are also recommended as they can efficiently remove plaque by simply guiding the brush while it works on multiple teeth at a time.
How often should I floss, and what is the correct way to do it?
You should floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between your teeth and under the gumline, where a toothbrush can’t reach. Follow these steps for effective flossing:
- Use about 12-16 inches of dental floss, wrapping it around your middle fingers, with 2 inches of floss between them.
- Gently insert the floss between your teeth using a sawing motion.
- Curve the floss into a “C” shape around each tooth, sliding it up and down to clean the side of each tooth and below the gumline.
If you find regular floss difficult to use, floss holders are a helpful alternative.
How often should I schedule dental cleanings and exams?
It is generally recommended to schedule dental cleanings and exams every six months. Regular visits help prevent common issues like cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup. They also allow your dentist to catch potential problems early. However, depending on your oral health, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits. Always follow your dentist’s advice based on your individual needs.
