Common Questions
How often should I come for a check-up?
Every 6 months works well for most people. It lets us spot small issues while they're still quick and cheap to treat.
Is a check-up painful?
No — a routine check-up is completely painless. We explain everything before we do it, and if anything feels unusual you can tell us to stop at any time.
What are sealants and fluoride for?
Sealants are thin protective coatings on the back teeth where food gets stuck, and fluoride strengthens enamel. Both are quick, painless and especially good for children.
Does a professional clean damage my teeth?
No. Scaling and polishing gently removes plaque and tartar that brushing can't — it protects your teeth and gums rather than harming them.
