How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend that patients plan on visiting the dentist for a general exam and check up every six months. It is sometimes necessary to schedule more frequent appointment for patients who might suffer from advanced decay, poor oral hygiene habits, and complex dental conditions. At your routine exam, we will form a treatment plan with each patient to ensure that optimal oral health is prioritized, and ultimately, achieved.
What do you recommend for daily care of my teeth?
We strongly recommend that everyone brushes their teeth at least twice a day; brushing in the morning and in the evening. We also highly stress the importance of flossing at least once a day, in order to remove harmful particles that build up in the spaces between teeth. If you struggle to keep up with a daily flossing routine, start with flossing at least two days a week.
Do you take new patients?
We absolutely accept new patients. Our team provides comprehensive dentistry for adults and children in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. To help expedite the check in process for new patients, we offer downloadable patient forms on our website. Simply fill them out prior to your appointment, and bring them in with you for a quicker check in process.
