Questions to Ask at your Next Dental Visit

Sciota, Pennsylvania

We normally associate a dental visit with clean, polished teeth. But appointments twice a year to our Sciota family dentist office also offer a chance for you to speak directly with our dental team and ask any questions that may have popped in in the six months since your last visit. Asking questions can help you better understand your dental health and prevent future oral health issues. Here are some general questions you could ask the next time you’re in our office:

  1. How can I improve my oral health routine?

Brushing your teeth twice a day — once after breakfast and once before bedtime — and flossing at least once daily are the most basic and important components of your oral health care. Having your teeth cleaned professionally is just as important. During this visit, be sure to ask our family dentist in Sciota about anything you can do to enhance or improve your oral hygiene. We may recommend specific techniques or products you can try based on the condition of your teeth and gums.

  1. Would you recommend any dental procedures for me?

Sometimes, certain dental procedures aren’t necessary but they could enhance a smile. If you ask about elective procedures, we may recommend certain cosmetic treatments that we believe could improve your smile aesthetics.

  1. How can I safely whiten my teeth?

Our Sciota cosmetic dentist is happy to provide tips on ways to whiten your teeth with consistent, show-stopping results and without sensitive teeth or gums. After a brief consultation, we can recommend professional whitening treatments, over-the-counter products and/or lifestyle changes that will work best for your specific needs.

  1. Do you recommend any specific dental products for me?

Depending on your specific goals, we may recommend dental products that could help you improve your oral health and/or smile aesthetics.

  1. How can I prevent future dental problems?

We stress the importance of prevention to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Ask us about proactive steps you can take to prevent problems like cavities, gum disease or enamel erosion in the future.
