Frequently Asked Questions
What is general dentistry? A.General dentistry focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common dental issues. It includes services such as check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and oral health advice to help you maintain a healthy smile.
Q. How often should I visit the dentist? A. We recommend a dental check-up every six months, though some patients may need to visit more or less frequently depending on their oral health needs.
Q. What happens during a routine dental check-up? A. During your check-up, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. X-rays may be taken if needed, and your dentist will discuss any treatment recommendations with you.
Q. Why are regular dental cleanings important? A. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and keeps your mouth feeling fresh.

Q. How can I keep my teeth healthy between visits? A. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, eat a balanced diet, and limit sugary snacks and drinks. Regular dental visits also play a key role in maintaining good oral health.
