Maintaining your dental health is very important! It is recommended for most people to visit the dentist at least twice a year (every six months). However, depending on your dental and gum health, some people may need to visit the dentist more frequently than semi-annually. Dental visits should consist of a professional cleaning and a complete dental examination. 

X-rays, or dental radiographs, are done to better see what is occurring inside the teeth and under gum tissues. With X-ray imaging, dentists are able to assess your oral health for infections, cavities, growth, and periodontal disease. 

Yes, a broken or cracked tooth is a dental emergency. Breaks or cracks indicate that there is damage inside and outside the tooth. In some severe cases, the tooth may not be salvageable. Thus, it is crucial to have it checked out sooner rather than later. 

The Smiles on Progress Ave dentist will examine and diagnose your overall oral health and any conditions that may be present. New patients will complete a comprehensive oral exam. Upon completion, the dentist will inform you on practices to best maintain your dental health. 

It is recommended to take your child to the dentist approximately six months after their first tooth appears.

Yes! Flossing is an integral part of maintaining your oral health. Flossing removes plaque between your teeth that would not be removed by brushing alone. If not removed by floss, the build-up of plaque can cause gum disease, cavities, and gingivitis if it builds up for long. 

A filling is a treatment completed to restore the decaying portion of a tooth. The decay is removed and replaced with filling to recreate the original tooth structure. A filling is always shaped for ideal function and esthetic. 

A root canal is a process completed to remove damaged or diseased nerve tissue from a tooth. A dentist will perform complete anesthetization around the affected tooth area to ensure a comfortable experience. 

A dental crown is a procedure done to protect a tooth after undergoing significant treatment such as a root canal or an extensive filling. The crown will completely wrap around the tooth to prevent any future fractures or cracks.
