On your first visit, our team will gather your dental and medical history, perform a comprehensive exam of your teeth and gums, take any necessary X-rays, and discuss with you any findings. We’ll also talk about your oral care goals and preferences to create a treatment plan tailored to your comfort and needs.
We generally recommend cleanings and check-ups every six months. However, depending on your oral health—such as gum health, history of cavities, or risk factors like smoking or medical conditions—our team may suggest more frequent visits.
If you experience severe mouth pain, a knocked-out tooth, swelling, or any injury to your teeth or gums, please call us immediately. We strive to see emergency patients as soon as possible. In the meantime, we can provide guidance to reduce pain or prevent further damage.
Common signs that a root canal may be needed include persistent tooth pain (especially when biting or with temperature changes), swelling, or sensitivity that doesn’t go away. Our team will perform diagnostic tests (including X-rays) to determine whether a root canal or alternative procedure is the best option for you.
