FAQ

What should I expect during a dental exam?

During a dental exam, your dentist will carefully assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This may include checking for cavities, evaluating gum health, examining existing dental work, and taking X-rays if necessary. Your dentist will discuss any findings with you and create a personalized treatment plan if needed.

How often should I schedule dental cleanings?
