The Information You Need to Better Care for Your Smile
Our entire team is always happy to answer any questions our patients might have about their dental care. To make things easy, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common ones we receive every day. If there is anything else you’d like to know, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
How often should I see the dentist?
Everyone, young and old, should try to attend at least one checkup and cleaning appointment every six months. This will enable our team to treat any minor decay or damage during its earliest stages, and routine cleanings can go a long way in stopping cavities and gum disease from developing in the first place.
Can I bring my children to Dentistry By Canyon Creek?
Of course! We would love to treat you and your whole family. Whether you have a young toddler or a growing teen, all smiles are always welcome through our doors. Our team has extensive experience with children of all ages, and we’re ready to provide the friendly and comprehensive dental care they need to enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.
What is the best way to whiten my teeth?
While you’ll find plenty of kits at the store and do-it-yourself solutions online, the safest and most reliable way to brighten your teeth is with professional teeth whitening. At our office, we use products much stronger than anything you can buy on your own, plus they are proven to be safe and do not damage the enamel.
One of my teeth really hurts. What should I do?
If you’re experiencing any kind of dental pain, the best thing to do is call Dentistry By Canyon Creek quickly. It could be a sign of a much more serious problem, but if you let us know and come to see us right away, we’ll be able to take care of it.
Why do my gums bleed every time I clean my teeth?
Have you recently started flossing after not doing so for a while? If so, a little bleeding is normal. However, it may be a sign that you’re brushing or flossing too hard, so try cleaning your teeth more gently for a few days and see if this helps. However, if the bleeding persists, you may have a minor oral infection called gum disease. At this early stage, it is relatively easy to treat with our help, so make sure you give us a call and schedule an appointment as soon as you can.
Will you accept my dental insurance?
Yes! Dentistry By Canyon Creek accepts most PPO dental insurance plans, and our team will make sure you maximize your benefits with us every visit. To learn more about how we can use your specific plan to help you save, contact us today.
