Because Being Prepared Matters

How Often Should I Visit The Dentist For A Check-Up And Cleaning?

At Hayes Family Dentistry, we recommend visiting the dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleanings. Regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health, clean your teeth thoroughly, and identify any potential issues early.

What Should I Expect During A General Dental Routine Check-Up?

During a routine check-up, we will review your dental history, perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, and conduct an oral cancer screening. We may take X-rays if necessary to get a complete picture of your oral health. Your visit also includes a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

What Are The Signs That I Might Need A Dental Filling?

Common signs that you may need a dental filling include sensitivity to hot or cold foods, noticeable holes or dark spots on your teeth, and discomfort or pain when biting or chewing. If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment for evaluation.

How Can I Improve My Oral Hygiene At Home?

To maintain good oral hygiene, brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash. Additionally, eating a balanced diet and avoiding tobacco products and excessive sugar can help keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Is Fluoride Treatment Important And How Does It Help?

Fluoride treatments help strengthen the enamel of your teeth, making them more resistant to decay. It is a simple, painless procedure often included during routine dental visits, particularly beneficial for children and individuals at higher risk of cavities.
