FAQ
How often should I visit the dentist?
Once you have established a dental home, it’s recommended that you visit the dentist at least twice per year. Two trips to the dentist on an annual basis helps:
- Ensure your teeth are aligned correctly.
- Protect teeth from cavities and decay.
- Monitor minor growth and development issues.
- Establish familiarity and trust with the dentist – this is especially important for young children.
When should children start going to the dentist?
The American Dental Association recommends children be seen by a dentist when their first tooth comes in. If no teeth appear by one year of age, we recommend scheduling an appointment shortly after their first birthday.
Do you accept my insurance?
We are In-Network with many of the most popular dental insurance providers. To inquire about your specific insurance provider, please contact our office prior to your appointment and we will gladly help verify your insurance benefits.
Are you accepting new patients?
Absolutely! Our goal is to ensure children, teens, and adults have access to the care they deserve. We always welcome new patients to our dental office.
