Frequently Asked Questions About Family Dentistry

Still have doubts? Let’s review some family dentistry FAQs so we can clear them.

How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist biannually, that is, every six months. This will allow us to identify any potential issues like gum disease or tooth decay early on and provide prompt treatment, preventing them from spreading further.

Can My Children Go to the Dentist?

Yes, children can visit our dental offices—in fact, they should do so frequently. Experts recommend that children visit a dentist for the first time when their primary teeth start to emerge. Afterward, we’ll advise on the ideal frequency for their dental visits.  

Why Do my Kids Have so Many Cavities?

Children are more prone to cavities than adults because their enamel is still developing, making teeth more susceptible to decay-forming bacteria. Moreover, kids tend to have a sweet tooth, which can further accelerate the damage.

The best way to prevent damage is through regular dental visits, professional teeth cleanings, and a thorough dental hygiene routine.

Should I Change My Dental Habits as I Grow Older?

Thanks to various oral hygiene habits and accessible dental care, more and more older adults maintain their natural teeth. So, to ensure a bright smile for years to come, fostering these habits is key. Make sure to brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once a day.

Additionally, visit our North Rivers Dental office immediately if you suspect any lingering issues.

It brings happy tears to my eyes knowing that my smile is fixed. Dr. Jake worked for 2 1/2 hours repairing old, cracked fillings, sealed between my teeth. This weighed on my confidence for three years and I barely ever wanted to talk. My teeth are restored back to their original state and it’s unbelievable what a patient, and kind dentist can do for one’s confidence. I owe ya one, Dr Jake!"
