This can vary from person to person, but on average, we recommend that someone should visit us for a checkup and cleaning at least twice a year. This is often enough that our team will be able to remove harmful plaque from the teeth before it does any damage, plus we’ll be able to find potential problems early so we can treat them right away.
Yes! Real Dental is ready to treat every member of your family, including its youngest members. We take pride in being able to help every child feel comfortable in our dental office, and we know how to put them on the path to a lifetime of optimal oral health.
We recommend that a child should start visiting the dentist regularly around 6 months, or when their baby teeth appear. It’s important that these new teeth are well-taken care of. These early-age visits will teach a child how important their oral health is, making them more likely to brush at home and maintain regular dental visits as they get older.
A painful toothache is often a sign of a dental injury or infection, so you should give our dental office a call right away. You likely won’t be able to fix this type of problem on your own. We’ll schedule you for an appointment ASAP, but in the meantime, you can lessen any discomfort by gently rinsing and flossing around the tooth as well as taking an OTC pain-reliever.
While you’ll find plenty of take-home whitening treatments on store shelves, the truth is that most of them are very weak and simply cannot deliver the dramatic results they promise. At Real Dental, however, we can provide you with a custom-made whitening kit that uses a bleaching gel multiple times stronger than anything you can buy on your own. With it, you’ll be able to whiten your smile by up to 8 shades, and you can use it whenever and wherever you want!
