Common Questions
Quick answers to questions we hear often. See all FAQs
How often should I see the dentist?
Most patients should have a checkup and cleaning every six months. We may suggest a different schedule based on your needs.

No. It is a quick, painless check of your mouth and throat.
Do I need a custom guard?
If you grind your teeth or play sports, a custom guard fits better and protects more than a store-bought one.
