General Dentistry: Frequently Asked Questions
- How often should I have a dental exam and cleaning?
- Most patients do best with a dental exam and cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or other risk factors, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits. Regular checkups make it possible to catch issues early, before they become painful or costly.
- Are digital X-rays safe?
- Yes, digital X-rays are safe and use significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. They also provide fast, detailed images that help us diagnose problems early. This keeps exposure as low as reasonably possible while still giving your dentist a clear view of your teeth.
- Do you treat both children and adults?
- Yes, we treat both children and adults, providing complete general dentistry for children, teens, adults, and seniors. We tailor our approach to each patient’s age, needs, and comfort level. That lets your whole family receive consistent care in one familiar setting.
- What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?
- If you haven’t been to the dentist in years, there is no judgment here, just support. We will start with a gentle, thorough evaluation and talk through your goals. From there, we create a step-by-step plan to help you get back on track with your oral health.
- What are signs that I might need a filling?
- Common signs that you might need a filling include tooth sensitivity, pain when chewing, visible spots or holes, or rough areas you can feel with your tongue. Some early decay is hard to see, so an exam and X-rays are used to confirm whether a filling is needed. When a filling is needed, the cavity is repaired with a tooth-colored composite material.
- Can I get a same-day appointment if I have a problem?
- We do our best to see urgent dental concerns as quickly as possible. Call our office at (414) 462-3160 and describe the problem. Our team will work to arrange a same-day or next-available visit.
- Do you offer fluoride treatments?
- Yes, we offer fluoride treatments. They are especially helpful for children, patients with a history of cavities, and anyone at higher risk for decay. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to acids.
- Will my cleaning hurt?
- Most dental cleanings are very comfortable. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, let us know so we can adjust our technique, use numbing gel when appropriate, and take breaks as needed. Cleanings are gentle but thorough, removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains to keep your gums healthy.
- Are your fillings metal-free?
- Yes, our fillings are metal-free. We use composite, tooth-colored filling materials that bond securely to your teeth. They blend in with your natural enamel for a strong, discreet restoration.
- What areas do you serve besides Wauwatosa?
- In addition to Wauwatosa, we welcome patients from Milwaukee, Brookfield, West Allis, Elm Grove, and many other nearby communities. Individuals and families come to us for consistent general dental care in one familiar setting. Whether you live close by or a little farther away, our team is glad to help.
