Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services, appointments, and policies.
What is general dentistry?
General dentistry refers to the routine care and treatment of the teeth, gums, and mouth. Dentists in this field provide services such as cleanings, fillings, extractions, and preventative care.
How often should I visit the dentist?
It's generally recommended to visit the dentist at least twice a year for routine check-ups and cleanings. However, if you have specific oral health concerns, you might need more frequent visits.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
If you have a toothache, it's important to contact your dentist as soon as possible to determine the cause. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers and warm saltwater rinses can help alleviate discomfort.
How can I prevent cavities?
Cavities are caused by tooth decay, which occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce acid from sugars. To prevent cavities, brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and visit the dentist regularly for cleanings.
What is a filling, and why would I need one?
A filling is used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay. The dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the area with materials like composite resin, silver amalgam, or gold.
What is a root canal, and when is it necessary?
A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that has become infected or badly decayed. It involves removing the infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning the area, and sealing it.
What is the best way to whiten my teeth?
Teeth whitening options include professional treatments provided by your dentist or over-the-counter products like whitening toothpaste and strips. Consulting your dentist will help you choose the safest and most effective option for your teeth.
What is gum disease, and how can I prevent it?
Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups can help prevent gum disease.
What should I do if I have a broken or chipped tooth?
If you break or chip a tooth, contact your dentist immediately. They may be able to repair it with bonding, a crown, or other treatments depending on the extent of the damage.
Is it safe to get dental X-rays?
Dental X-rays are generally safe, and the amount of radiation used is very low. Dentists only take X-rays when necessary for diagnosing or monitoring oral health.
