What should I look for when choosing a dentist?
Finding the right dentist for you and your family is essential, and it’s a good idea to explore a few options before settling on one. Your first visit can help you decide if a dentist meets your needs. Here are some questions to consider during your appointment:
- Is the schedule flexible and convenient for you?
- Is the office location easily accessible?
- Does the office feel clean, organized, and welcoming?
- Was your medical and dental history recorded for future reference?
- Does the dentist provide clear guidance on maintaining good oral health?
- Are treatment costs explained upfront before any procedures are scheduled?
- Is the dentist a member of the American Dental Association (ADA)?
Taking the time to evaluate these factors can help you feel confident about your choice.

What should I expect from my first appointment?
If you are a new patient coming to see us for the first time, we are so excited to have you! At your first visit, we will thoroughly review your medical history, take X-rays, complete an oral cancer screening, and perform a periodontal exam. We will also take intraoral photos to assess your dental situation thoroughly.
How often should I schedule an appointment?
Children, teens, and adults should visit our office for regular checkups at least once every six months. If you are at a greater risk for oral cancer or gum disease, we may recommend you see us more than just twice a year. Our dentists will help determine how often you should schedule regular checkups.
What insurance does your practice take?
Before your first appointment with our office, you will receive a detailed breakdown of your insurance benefits, allowing you to decide on your dental health. Call our office today for more information!
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Contact our office right away for prompt, reliable care. Our team provides emergency dental services to address issues quickly and protect your teeth and gums from further harm. Common emergencies we treat include toothaches, broken restorations, and knocked-out permanent teeth.
What happens if I don’t schedule regular appointments?
Skipping routine dental checkups increases the risk of developing cavities and infections. Many dental issues start internally and aren’t noticeable without a professional evaluation. Regular exams and cleanings are essential for catching problems early and protecting your oral health. Aim for at least two routine visits yearly to stay on top of your dental care.
How can I ease tooth sensitivity?
Using desensitizing toothpaste, avoiding extremely hot or cold foods, and consulting your dentist about possible treatments can help manage sensitivity.
