Frequently Asked Questions
Are Regular Dental Cleanings and Exams Really That Important?
Yes! Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that can’t be eliminated by brushing and flossing alone. Exams allow your dentist to catch issues early—before they become serious problems.
What Are Fluoride Treatments and How Do They Help?
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities. They’re especially beneficial for children, people with dry mouth, or anyone at higher risk of tooth decay.
How Do Dental Sealants Work?
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They act as a barrier against food particles and bacteria, helping prevent cavities in hard-to-clean areas.
Why Should I Get an Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screenings help detect early signs of cancer or pre-cancer. Early detection can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment.
