FAQ

What is general and family dentistry?

General and family dentistry includes a wide range of dental services that focus on preventing, diagnosing and treating oral health issues for patients of all ages. These services range from routine exams and cleanings to restorative and cosmetic treatments. The goal is to ensure lifelong dental health and address any issues promptly.

At what age should children start seeing the dentist?

Children should have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Early visits allow our dentists to monitor tooth development, provide preventive care and teach parents how to care for their child’s teeth, promoting healthy habits from an early age.

What are the benefits of regular dental checkups?

Regular dental checkups help prevent cavities, gum disease and other oral health problems. During these visits, our dentists can identify issues early, which reduces the need for more complex and costly treatments later. Routine cleanings also remove plaque and tartar buildup, improving overall oral health and keeping your smile bright.

How often should adults replace dental fillings?

Dental fillings can last for many years but are not permanent. Adults should have their fillings checked during regular dental visits. Over time, fillings may wear out or become damaged, requiring replacement. Most fillings last between five to 15 years, depending on the material used and individual oral habits.
