Questions about General Dentistry
Why do I need to visit every six months if I don't have
any problems?
Preventive care is less expensive than repairing damage. Certain
problems, like gum disease and early signs of decay, offer few
warning signs. Regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health
and catch any issues before they become big trouble.
How is a filling different from a crown?
Made from composite resin, tooth-colored fillings replace decay
that only impacts a portion of the tooth. With severe damage, your
will likely need a dental crown, which fits securely over the
remaining tooth structure and completely covers the tooth.
When should my child first visit the
dentist?
Although the American Dental Association recommends starting
visits when children get teeth, usually at age one, we often find
that kids do best around three years old. At this time, the doctor
can take a look to make sure everything is on target, and we can
start to create positive feelings for your child so that he or she
will look forward to visiting the dentist.
I have metal fillings. Should I replace
them?
At one time, amalgam fillings were the standard for restoring
teeth. Now, most dentists prefer composite fillings. These fillings
match your natural tooth color, won't leak over time, and don't
contain any metal. If your old fillings aren't causing you
problems, you can choose to leave them in place, but if you want
more aesthetic restorations, talk with your doctor about composite
fillings as a replacement option.
