Dental Services FAQ
What is preventive dentistry?
Preventive dentistry is anything that prevents decay and infection of your teeth and gums. This includes daily brushing and flossing (teeth, gums, and tongue) and 6-month visits to the dentist.
When should preventive dentistry start?
Preventive dentistry should start as soon as the first tooth erupts through the gumline and no later than 12 months old. Start by using a small, soft-bristled toothbrush or finger brush with or without infant toothpaste.
Why should I visit the dentist every 6 months?
Visiting our dental office is important because we can catch or prevent dental issues before they become bigger problems. We can also do a deeper clean to remove tartar build-up that takes a special tool to remove.
Why do I need dental x-rays?
Generally, we take x-rays once a year during one of your six-month checkups. However, yearly x-rays are not necessary if there are no apparent dental issues, but should be taken at least every 2-3 years.
X-rays allow us to examine health conditions below the gumline that are difficult or impossible to see otherwise. X-rays allow us to check for cavities, root decay, wisdom teeth, cancer, shifting of the teeth or jawline, etc.
How often should you brush your tooth?
You should brush your teeth twice a day (morning and evening) and floss once a day (evening). Brush more often, unless instructed by your dentist, can start to wear on your teeth enamel and gums. Always brush lightly using a soft-bristled for at least 2 minutes.
