Why do you ask about medications at a dental cleaning?+
A complete picture helps us plan care safely, and it can also shed light on what is happening in your mouth. Dry mouth, for example, is a change that current medication details may help the team understand.
Can dry mouth change how often I should come in?+
It may. Dry mouth is one of several factors that could lead to a recommendation for more frequent care, and your dentist and hygienist would base any advice on your own situation.
Will you check my crowns, bridges, and old fillings?+
Yes, existing dental work is included in the exam. If you have noticed a rough edge, food catching, or a filling that has broken, mention it, because even a painless problem may worsen over time.
Does having diabetes affect my dental visits?+
Diabetes and other relevant health changes are among the reasons someone might benefit from more frequent preventive care. Please include it in your health history so recommendations can take it into account.
Are seniors welcome as new patients?+
Certainly. Our clinic welcomes seniors along with children and adults, and a first appointment generally allows time for reviewing your history and assessing your oral health.
