The Importance of Regular Dental Checkups
Regular dental checkups are one of the simplest ways to protect your smile before small problems become painful, costly, or harder to treat. A routine visit usually includes a dental exam, teeth cleaning, gum check, oral cancer screening, and, when needed, X-rays....
Common Questions & Answers
Why are my teeth sensitive?
Tooth sensitivity usually occurs when a receding gum line exposes the underlying dentin layer and nerve to air, food, and liquids. Your teeth may be sensitive as the result of enamel loss, which can be treated with special toothpaste and gel. Having your teeth examined for enamel loss can help rule out other possible factors, such as cavities and gum disease.
What is gingivitis & periodontitis?
Gingivitis is a milder form of gum disease that can develop into periodontitis if left untreated. Tender and swollen gums are the telltale sign of gingivitis, and these symptoms can develop into periodontitis, causing:
- Redness & soreness
- Bleeding gums during and after brushing
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose or shifting teeth
Untreated periodontitis can eventually cause receding gum line, bone loss, infection, tooth decay, and severe pain.
What should I do to prevent gum disease & tooth decay?
Daily brushing and flossing are the best ways to take care of your teeth and gums. By keeping to a daily routine, you will greatly minimize the risk of gingivitis or tooth decay as you age. Routine teeth cleanings and examinations can also prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay, and help you treat cavities sooner.
Am I a candidate for dental implants? How long do they last?
Dental implants are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth and preventing bone loss in the jaw. Because dental implants require a healthy jawbone for support, patients with good oral hygiene are the best candidates for the procedure. Those who smoke, don’t regularly brush their teeth, or suffer from cancer or diabetes, are usually not ideal candidates. Dental implants are permanent and can last a lifetime when cared for properly.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients should schedule a dental exam and cleaning every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits if you have gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other ongoing oral health concerns.
What is the best way to whiten my teeth?
Professional whitening treatments performed in-office or with custom take-home trays are safer and more effective than over-the-counter products. Your dentist can recommend the method that will best suit your needs, tooth shade, and sensitivity level.
What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
A filling repairs a small to moderate cavity by replacing decayed tooth material, while a crown covers the entire tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function—often after extensive decay, a fracture, or root canal therapy.
What are the benefits of Invisalign® over traditional braces?
Invisalign® uses clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible and allow you to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions. They can be a great option for mild to moderate alignment issues, though some complex cases may require traditional braces.
How can I prevent bad breath?
Daily brushing and flossing, routine dental cleanings, and staying hydrated are key to preventing bad breath. If the problem persists, your dentist can check for underlying causes such as gum disease, cavities, or dry mouth.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Modern digital X-rays emit very low levels of radiation—much less than traditional film X-rays—and are safe for adults and children. Protective lead aprons and collars are used to further minimize exposure.
Can Gregory Dental Group help with my PPO dental plan?
Yes. Gregory Dental Group can help patients understand their PPO dental benefits, including in-network coverage, deductibles, and estimated out-of-pocket costs. While we can help explain your benefits, coverage is determined by your individual “and employer” insurance plans.
