Preventive Dentistry FAQs

Straight answers to the questions patients ask most often. We will also walk through every detail during your visit.

How often should I have dental cleanings?

Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months. Some may need more frequent visits based on their oral health needs and risk factors.

Are dental X-rays safe?

We use digital X-rays that minimize radiation exposure while providing detailed images for accurate diagnosis. Safety is our top priority.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease typically results from poor oral hygiene, allowing bacteria to build up below the gumline. Other factors include genetics, smoking, and certain medical conditions.

Can gum disease be reversed?

Proper care can reverse early gum disease, or gingivitis, and professional treatment can effectively manage more advanced stages.

When should children start dental visits?

We recommend first dental visits by age three or earlier if concerns arise. Early prevention helps establish healthy habits for life.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Warning signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. Regular checkups help catch problems early.
