How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

Most patients benefit from every six months, but some need more frequent visits depending on gum health and risk factors.

What happens at a routine dental exam?

We evaluate teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. Imaging may be recommended based on your needs and history.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush?

Bleeding can be a sign of inflammation or gum disease. A dental exam can identify the cause and best treatment.

Do you treat gum disease?

Yes. We provide gum evaluations and treatment plans ranging from preventive care to deeper periodontal therapy.

What causes bad breath even if I brush and floss?

Common causes include gum inflammation, dry mouth, decay, or bacteria on the tongue. We help identify the source.

Do you check for oral cancer?

We include appropriate screenings as part of comprehensive exams.

What is the best toothbrush and toothpaste to use?

We make recommendations based on your enamel, sensitivity, gums, and restorations.

Can you help with sensitive teeth?

Yes. Sensitivity can have multiple causes. We determine why it is happening and recommend targeted solutions.

Do you offer custom night guards for grinding and clenching?

Yes. Night guards help protect teeth and restorations and can reduce jaw strain.

What is TMJ and do you treat jaw pain?

TMJ issues can include jaw pain, clicking, and muscle soreness. We evaluate bite and joint function and recommend care options.

Can you replace old metal fillings?

Yes. We can evaluate existing fillings and discuss replacement if there is leakage, cracking, or aesthetic concerns.

Do you do dental fillings that look natural?

Yes. We use tooth-colored materials and aim for natural aesthetics and function.

How do I prevent cavities if I am prone to them?

We focus on personalized prevention, including home care guidance, dietary factors, and professional support.

Do you provide second opinions?

Yes. We welcome second opinions and will explain findings clearly.

What if I have not been to the dentist in years?

You are not alone. We take a calm, step-by-step approach and focus on comfort and clarity.
