Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the dentist for routine care?

Most patients benefit from a dental visit every six months. Regular checkups help catch issues early and keep your teeth and gums healthy long term.

What’s included in a general dental exam?

A general exam typically includes a professional cleaning, digital X-rays as needed, a full oral exam, gum evaluation, and an oral cancer screening.

Do cleanings hurt?

Cleanings are usually comfortable and gentle. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know and we’ll adjust your care to keep you comfortable.

Are digital X-rays safe?

Yes. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays and allow us to diagnose issues more accurately and efficiently.

What is an oral cancer screening?

An oral cancer screening checks the mouth, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues for early signs of abnormalities. Early detection is key and screenings are quick and painless.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card if applicable, and a list of any medications you’re currently taking. Previous dental records are helpful but not required.

What if I haven’t seen a dentist in a long time?

That’s okay. Our team is experienced in helping patients return to dental care comfortably and without judgment. We’ll move at a pace that works for you.
