Frequently Asked Questions
About
Dental Exam
Is the dental exam painful?
"While the thought of going to the dentist is daunting, we will gently and patiently work with you through all the steps. The care is customized to your needs and we will work with you to provide the best experience. There is also a special numbing gel that we will use to help make the cleaning more comfortable."
How often do I need a dental exam?
"The American Dental Association recommends seeing your dentist at least twice a year for a dental exam and evaluation of the conditions of the mouth. That is usually every six months. When going through clear aligner therapy or braces, more frequent dental cleanings are recommended. If you develop stains quickly, you can visit more frequently for polishing and cleaning to remove stains."
What is oral cancer screening?
"Oral cancer effects a small portion of the population. If caught early, it can be treated with great outcomes. As there is an increase in smoking and vaping in the community, it is important to check for any bumps or lumps that may abnormal in the mouth."
