Common Questions About General Dentistry

How often should I visit the dentist for general dentistry?

We recommend scheduling general checkups every six months. These regular visits help catch issues early, remove plaque, and ensure your gums and teeth stay healthy. If you have a history of gum disease or higher risk for decay, you may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Platt will tailor your schedule to fit your individual needs and health history.

Do general dentistry visits hurt?

Not at all. Our team takes a gentle, personalized approach to every visit. We also offer amenities like pillows, blankets, and entertainment in the patient rooms to help you relax. If you're nervous or sensitive, let us know. We can take things slowly or discuss ways to make you more comfortable. The goal is to make your visits easy and stress-free.

Can general dentistry really prevent dental problems?

Yes, and that's one of the biggest benefits. Regular cleanings, exams, and preventive care are effective ways to stop cavities, gum disease, and enamel wear. By catching signs early, Dr. Platt can treat them with minimal intervention. You save pain, cost, and complications down the road.
