What Our Clients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients should see a dentist twice per year. Routine cleanings and exams are scheduled every six months. This ensures potential problems are caught and addressed early before escalating. It also allows your dental team to remove any new plaque or tartar before it spreads and causes damage.
Patients who are prone to tooth decay or gum disease may need more frequent dental exams. Your dentist will let you know the best timing for your needs.
During your routine cleaning, a hygienist uses special instruments and advanced technology to clean and polish the teeth. The process removes built-up plaque to keep bacteria from spreading through the mouth. The dentist may request x-rays to assess the health of your bone and underlying oral structures. Additionally, the mouth is checked for signs of decay, periodontal disease, oral cancers, and jaw problems.
When trauma occurs, remain calm and contact your dental team for direction. We will direct you to the best course of action based on your current situation. Common dental emergencies include:
- Tooth pain
- Infected or abscessed tooth
- Chipped or broken tooth
- Knocked out or lost tooth
For minor issues, maintain your comfort and/or swelling with cold packs and over-the-counter pain medication. If you have broken or lost a tooth, try to locate the missing piece. Place it between your gum and cheek or in a cup of milk until you get to our office. Once you arrive, our goal will be to keep you comfortable as we address the problem and restore your smile.
At Aten & Garofalo Dentistry, we work with many major insurance companies. Please contact your insurance company prior to your appointment to review your benefits and to make sure we are in-network.
For patients without insurance or when insurance is not enough, CareCredit may be an option. CareCredit offers affordable payment plans to help you cover your dental care.
