  • Why do I need to see the dentist twice a year?

    In general, we recommend twice-annual appointments to help us identify and treat small problems before they become serious. Your regular checkups and cleanings are preventative measures that allow us to provide a thorough professional cleaning to help remove plaque and tartar build up that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

    However, we might recommend you visit us more frequently depending on the health of your teeth and gums. If you have signs of gum disease you will require appointments as often as every three to four months.

  • How often do I need X-rays?

    An assessment of your oral health will provide us with the information we need to determine how often you need to have X-rays. X-rays are an important part of preventative care as we can detect diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues that cannot be identified with your regular checkups.
