Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients should visit every 6 months for optimal oral health. However, some patients with gum disease, diabetes, or other risk factors may need more frequent visits every 3-4 months.
Professional cleanings are generally comfortable. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity, especially if it's been a while since their last cleaning. We can use topical anaesthetics if needed.
A comprehensive exam includes visual inspection of teeth and gums, digital X-rays, oral cancer screening, bite evaluation, and assessment of existing restorations. We also review your medical history and discuss any concerns.
X-rays reveal problems not visible during visual examination, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections, and developing issues. We use digital X-rays with minimal radiation exposure.
