Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get my kids to brush their teeth?
Sometimes it can be a real challenge to get kids to do anything they don’t want to do. When it comes to brushing their teeth, we recommend trying to turn it into a game. Also, leading by example is a good starting point. If your children see you practicing good oral hygiene, they’ll want to imitate your behavior.
If you need any further recommendations, don’t hesitate to ask our staff at your next appointment and we’ll provide you with some friendly tips. Forming healthy habits early-on will ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles.
How do I choose a new dentist?
Choosing a new dentist doesn’t have to be a daunting task. It’s always good to ask family and friends for recommendations. If you’re moving, you can ask your current dentist for suggestions, or use the Find-A-Dentist tool on the ADA’s website.
There are a few questions you’ll want to answer before scheduling a consultation with a new dentist, such as:
- Is their location close to your home or work?
- Do they offer additional hours in case of an emergency?
- What are their office hours?
- Are they familiar with your dental insurance?
- Do they have a policy for missed appointments?
Addressing any concerns when finding a new dental home will help put your worries at ease so you can trust you’re in good hands.
How can I improve my oral health routine?
First and foremost, you’ll want to brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and rinse between meals. There are a few additional guidelines that you can follow to get the most out of your oral health routine, including:
- Use oral care products that contain fluoride
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent damaging your teeth and gums
- Brush for two minutes at a time
- Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months, or sooner if bristles start to wear
In addition to following a regular oral hygiene routine, you’ll want to schedule biannual appointments at our Gibsonia office by calling (724) 502-4221 so that we can ensure your smile is in the best of health. If you run into any problems in between appointments, contact our office so we can restore your smile and keep your dental health on track.
Why do I need dental exams?
Biannual oral health exams can help spot any trouble areas before they become problematic and require more costly treatments in the future. During your checkups, we’ll take any necessary diagnostic tests such as x-rays, that can spot cavities years before you’ll notice any symptoms.
We’ll also look for any signs that could indicate you have oral cancer. If treated in the earlier stages, you’ll increase your chances for a successful recovery.
During your checkups, we’ll also perform a thorough cleaning to scrape off plaque and tartar to leave your smile fresh and clean. If we notice any areas that could use a little more attention, we’ll provide friendly tips on ways you can improve your at-home oral health routine.
