Common questions

How often should I get a cleaning?

Every six months works for most people. If you have gum disease or other concerns, we may recommend more frequent visits.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Dental X-rays use a very small amount of radiation, and we only take them when they’re needed for your care.

What happens at my first visit?

We’ll review your health history, take any needed X-rays, do a thorough exam and cleaning, and talk through anything we find.

Do you see children?

[Confirm the age you start seeing children.]
