Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have a dental hygiene appointment?
Is a hygiene clean painful?
Not at all! Most patients find hygiene treatments comfortable and refreshing. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, we can adjust techniques to suit you.
What’s the difference between a dental cleaning and a check-up?
A cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup, while a check-up involves examining your teeth, gums, and mouth for signs of problems. Both are essential and often done in the same visit.
Can children and teens have hygiene treatments too?
Yes! In fact, establishing regular hygiene visits early helps children build strong oral health habits for life.
What is dental therapy for patients under 25?
Dental therapy includes preventative care, fillings, fluoride treatments, and oral hygiene education—focusing on early intervention to set young adults up for long-term dental success.
