Frequently Asked
Questions
Why are dental checkups essential?
Regular dental checkups can prevent cavities, root canals, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental conditions. They help in early detection, making treatments more effective and less invasive.
How long does a comprehensive checkup take?
Typically, a thorough checkup at Walterboro Family Dentistry takes about an hour, but it might vary depending on individual needs.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Absolutely! Digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation compared to traditional X-rays.
I brush and floss daily. Do I still need professional cleaning?
Yes! Even with impeccable home care, professional cleaning helps remove the hard-to-reach plaque and tartar, offering a deeper clean.
I don't have any dental problems. Why should I still get a checkup?
Regular dental checkups aren't just about addressing current issues; they're about preventive care. Even if you feel fine, a checkup can identify early signs of potential problems, making prevention or treatment easier and more effective.
What's the difference between plaque and tartar?
Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria that forms on teeth. If left untreated, plaque can harden and turn into tartar, which can only be removed with professional dental cleaning. Both can lead to cavities and gum diseases if not addressed.
Can dental issues affect my overall health?
Absolutely! Oral health is closely linked to overall health. Conditions like gum disease can increase the risk of systemic issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and more.
How can I prepare for my dental checkup?
It's beneficial to maintain good oral hygiene leading up to your appointment. Also, make a list of any concerns, medications, or health issues to discuss with your dentist during the visit.
My child is scared of the dentist. How do you handle pediatric patients?
We understand children's apprehensions. Our team is trained to work with kids, using a gentle and friendly approach. We make efforts to create a fun, relaxed environment to help alleviate any fears. We're all about making dental visits a positive experience for our little patients!
