What You Need to know about Routine Dental Checkups-

Brite Family Dental

How often should I see my Dentist?

Every six months is recommended to visit your local dentist - Dr. Norris Feng at Brite Family Dental for a routine check-up and cleaning. This can help to prevent the buildup of tartar and plaque, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. If you have a particular dental problem, such as a cavity or gum disease, our Dentist may recommend more frequent visits. It is essential to follow our Dentist's recommendations to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy.

What should I expect at a Routine Dental Checkup?

When you visit Brite Family Dental, we will provide a dental health assessment - and we will outline the services you require. During a regular check-up and cleaning, you can expect the following:

 

  • An examination and perhaps dental x-rays of your teeth and gums, to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues - other than the obvious. 
  • Additional treatments to help protect your teeth and gums.
  • A discussion with your Dentist - Norris Feng about your treatment plan, oral hygiene habits and any other concerns you may have.

If you are visiting Brite Family Dental for a specific problem or procedure, the nature of your visit will depend on the particular issue or treatment being addressed.  Dr. Norris Feng and our friendly team will explain the details of your visit and what you can expect before starting any procedures.

Is there any aftercare for routine dental checkups?

After you have visited Dr Norris Feng - our Dentist, there may be some aftercare instructions that you need to follow, depending on the specific procedures or treatments that you have received. For example, if you have had a filling placed, Dr. Norris Feng may recommend that you avoid chewing on that side of your mouth for a few hours or that you brush and floss gently in the area for a few days. Tooth extractions will incur instructions on how to care for the extraction site, such as avoiding certain foods or rinsing with a special mouthwash. It is important to follow your Dentist's aftercare instructions carefully to ensure that you heal correctly and avoid complications.

Visiting Brite Family Dental - your local Stafford dentist regularly and a daily dental cleaning routine will ensure fewer cavities and save you money.
