How often should I schedule routine dental visits?

Most patients benefit from visiting every six months for exams and cleanings. This schedule helps prevent problems, catch changes early, and keep your teeth and gums healthy over time.

What happens during a general dental exam?

We examine your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health, and may take digital X-rays if needed. Your dentist reviews findings with you and explains any recommended care in a clear, simple way.

Are cleanings uncomfortable?

Cleanings are usually comfortable and gentle. If you have sensitivity or gum tenderness, we adjust our approach to keep you at ease throughout your visit.

Can general dentistry help prevent major dental problems?

Yes. Regular exams and cleanings help stop cavities, gum disease, and wear from progressing into more complex or costly issues.

Is general dentistry important even if my teeth feel fine?

Absolutely. Many dental concerns develop quietly without pain. Routine care helps protect your smile before problems become noticeable or uncomfortable.
