FAQs

During your ﬁrst visit to Prime Smile Dental, we'll take the time to get to know you and your oral health needs. Expect a comprehensive dental exam, including an assessment of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. We may also take X-rays to ensure we have a complete picture of your dental status. Our team will discuss your medical history and any concerns you may have, as well as provide recommendations for treatment if needed.

We recommend visiting the dentist for a check-up every six months to maintain optimal oral health. Regular check-ups allow us to catch potential issues early and provide preventive care, like professional cleanings, ﬂuoride treatments, and oral cancer screenings. However, depending on your oral health needs, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits.

Early signs of gum disease include:
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums, especially when brushing or ﬂossing
Persistent bad breath
Gums that recede or pull away from the teeth
Loose teeth or changes in bite
Tender or painful gums If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an appointment with us for an evaluation.

Safe teeth whitening options include professional whitening treatments provided by our team. We oﬀer in-oﬃce whitening procedures that are both eﬀective and gentle on your teeth. Over- the-counter products, such as whitening toothpaste or strips, can also help, but professional whitening provides more noticeable and lasting results. Our dentists will guide you on the best whitening option based on your needs and oral health.

If you have a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or broken tooth, contact us immediately. For a knocked-out tooth, try to place it back in the socket or keep it moist in milk and visit us as soon as possible. For toothaches, rinse your mouth with warm water and avoid placing aspirin on the tooth. Call us for advice and to schedule an emergency appointment.
