Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why are regular dental checkups important?
Regular dental checkups allow your dental team to monitor changes in your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. They can help identify concerns such as cavities, gum disease, cracked or worn teeth, infections, and other problems before they become more advanced. Dental exams also provide an opportunity to discuss symptoms, home care, and any treatment that may be recommended.
2. What happens during a routine dental exam?
During a routine dental exam, your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and other areas of your mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, damage, or other oral health concerns. Your medical and dental history may also be reviewed. X-rays may be recommended when needed to evaluate areas that cannot be fully assessed visually. Your dentist will then discuss any findings and recommended next steps.
3. How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
How often you should have your teeth professionally cleaned depends on your oral health, gum health, cavity risk, and home-care routine. Some patients benefit from more frequent cleanings, while others may require them less often. Your dentist or dental hygienist can recommend an interval based on your individual needs.
4. How can I help prevent cavities?
You can reduce your risk of cavities by brushing thoroughly with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth every day, limiting frequent sugary foods and drinks, and attending regular dental appointments. Your dental team may also recommend preventive treatments such as fluoride applications or dental sealants depending on your individual cavity risk.
5. What causes tooth sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity can occur when enamel becomes worn or when gum recession exposes a more sensitive root surface. Other possible causes include cavities, cracked teeth, worn fillings, gum disease, teeth grinding, acidic foods and drinks, or temporary sensitivity after certain dental treatments. Persistent or worsening sensitivity should be assessed by a dentist.
