Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I visit the dentist for preventive care?

We recommend visiting Lizaso Family Dentistry for a checkup and cleaning every six months. Regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health, address any issues early, and ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.

What happens during a routine dental exam?

During a routine dental exam, we’ll check your teeth and gums for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. We’ll clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup, and may take X-rays to look for hidden problems.

What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?

Fluoride treatments help strengthen your tooth enamel, making your teeth more resistant to cavities and decay. This simple, non-invasive treatment can provide long-term protection, especially for children and adults with a history of cavities.

How can I prevent gum disease?

The best way to prevent gum disease is to maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings. Avoiding tobacco products and eating a balanced diet also play a role in gum health.

Do I still need preventive care if I don’t have any cavities?

Yes! Even if you don’t have cavities, preventive care is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Regular exams and cleanings help us spot early signs of other issues, such as gum disease, before they become more serious.
