Frequently asked questions
Why see a dentist if nothing hurts?
Cavities and gum disease are often painless at first. Finding them early means simpler, shorter and less costly treatment.
Does scaling damage teeth?
No. It removes tartar that a toothbrush can no longer remove, without wearing down enamel. Mild sensitivity may appear for a few days.
How often should I have a check-up?
Every six months in most cases. The dentist may suggest more frequent visits if you have gum disease or frequent cavities.
