Question 1

How can I protect my teeth from damage?

Accepted Answer

While tooth enamel is strong, it can still chip or crack. Beyond following your hygienist's recommendations, there are additional ways to safeguard your teeth.  Don't chew ice, crack nut shells, or use your teeth to open packages. Stay away from hard foods like popcorn. Cut back on acidic sodas and sticky sugary foods. Avoid tongue and lip piercings, which can break teeth and lead to infections.

Question 2

Should I update my manual toothbrush to an electric?

Accepted Answer

A manual toothbrush works just as well as an electric one when used correctly. What matters most is brushing for 2 to 3 minutes, using short strokes at a 45-degree angle toward the gums, and cleaning all tooth surfaces, including the inner, outer, and chewing areas.

Question 3

I'm pregnant. Is it safe for me to go to the dentist?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Maintaining regular dental care during pregnancy is important for both your oral health and overall well-being. Hormonal changes can increase the risk of gum disease and other dental concerns, making routine checkups even more valuable. Be sure to let our team know you’re pregnant so we can tailor your care to your needs and ensure your comfort throughout your visit.

Question 4

When should my child receive his or her first dental check-up?

Accepted Answer

We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early visits help establish healthy habits, monitor dental development, and give parents guidance on caring for their child’s growing smile.

Question 5

Are dental X-rays safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modern digital X-rays are extremely safe and use significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. Advanced technology, targeted imaging, and protective equipment help minimize exposure while allowing us to accurately diagnose and monitor your oral health. We only recommend X-rays when they are necessary for your care.

Question 6

I'm nervous about going to the dentist. How will you keep me comfortable?

Accepted Answer

You're not alone—many patients experience dental anxiety. Our goal is to create a calm, welcoming environment where you feel relaxed and informed. We take the time to answer your questions, explain procedures, and provide comfort options such as noise-canceling headphones, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and sedation dentistry when appropriate. Your comfort is always a priority.

Question 7

I have a lot of dental problems. What should I do first?

Accepted Answer

The first step is scheduling a comprehensive evaluation. During your visit, we'll discuss your concerns, priorities, and goals before performing a thorough examination. Dr. Adams will create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your needs in a clear, organized manner, helping you move forward with confidence and a full understanding of your options.

Question 8

Will I be able to afford my dental care?

Accepted Answer

We believe quality dental care should be accessible and manageable. After your examination, we'll review treatment options and help you prioritize care based on your goals and budget. We work with most insurance providers to maximize your benefits and offer financing through Cherry to provide flexible payment solutions that fit your financial needs.
