General Dentistry FAQs

How often should I visit the dentist?
The recommendation is to see your dentist twice yearly. You may need to go more often if you have ongoing oral health issues.
Do dental cleaning and exams cause pain?
No. These are comfortable procedures. There can be some mild discomfort during teeth cleaning but exams are pain-free. The X-ray process may also provide some discomfort, especially for those with a gag reflex.
Do you provide care for all ages?
Yes. Our Water’s Edge team can treat children, teens, adults, and seniors.
What is a routine dental exam like?
Our typical exam starts with taking digital X-rays. A hygienist will clean your teeth before the dentist looks at them. The dentist looks for abnormalities and gum recession. They may call out numbers representing teeth and the condition of teeth. The dentist will also go over your X-rays to show you any problem areas.
What if a cavity or another problem is found?
We discuss any findings with you and recommend treatment options.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays are safer than those used in the past. They have low radiation levels. X-rays are important because they reveal problems a dentist can’t visually see.
How can I help my child be comfortable at the dentist?
Parents can help children by talking positively about the visit and explaining what to expect during the dental visit. It may help to show them more about teeth, gums, and oral hygiene online so they are more interested in taking care of their teeth. That helps them see the importance of a dental visit and reduce fear.
How can I manage my dental anxiety?
Many have dental anxiety and it is nothing to be embarrassed about. Tell us and we can support you with sedation, providing more information, and other measures to make you more comfortable.
Isn’t preventive care a waste when I don’t have any problems?
No. Preventive care catches problems early and helps you avoid problems as you age. Contact us for an appointment to find out how much general dentistry can contribute to your oral health. We are happy to answer questions and help the entire family have healthy mouths!
