Preventive Dentistry FAQ

How often should I visit?

We recommend bi-annual check-ups and cleanings for most patients. However, some may need more frequent visits based on their oral health needs. Dr. Kwakye will recommend the best schedule for you.

Are dental x-rays safe?

Yes, digital X-rays are safe and use minimal radiation. We use advanced technology to ensure the lowest possible exposure while obtaining crucial diagnostic information.

What's a periodontal screening?

A periodontal screening checks for signs of gum disease. We measure the pockets between your teeth and gums to detect any early signs of periodontal issues.

Do I need a night guard?

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom night guard can protect your teeth from wear and reduce jaw pain. Dr. Kwakye can assess if you would benefit from one.

How can I prevent cavities?

Regular brushing, flossing, a balanced diet, and routine dental check-ups are key to preventing cavities. We can also provide fluoride treatments and sealants for added protection.
