How often should I visit the dentist? We recommend visiting every six months for a professional cleaning and examination. However, some dental issues such as gum disease require more frequent visits.
What should I expect during my first visit? After the staff collects some information from a new patient and gets to know them, the dentist will perform:
| • |
A comprehensive oral examination including a cancer screening
|
| • |
X-rays (if needed)
|
| • |
Professional teeth cleaning
|
| • |
A discussion of medical history, as well as any concerns you have
|
| • |
A customized treatment plan (if necessary) |
The first visit helps our team to establish a baseline for your oral health, and to develop a personalized plan for your future care.
Do you accept dental insurance? Yes, we accept most major dental insurance plans. Our team is happy to help you verify your benefits and guide you through your coverage.

How can I improve my oral hygiene? There are a few simple steps to maintain good oral hygiene:
| • |
Brush at least twice per day.
|
| • |
Floss at least once per day, preferably before bed.
|
| • |
Replace your toothbrush every three months.
|
| • |
Schedule regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings. |
When should my child have their first dental visit? We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by their first birthday, or when their first tooth appears, whichever comes first. Early visits help familiarize your child with the dentist and to catch any potential issues early.
How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment? We kindly ask for at least a twenty-four hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This allows us to offer the appointment slot to another patient in need. Please contact us at (360) 831-0831 to make changes to your scheduled appointment.
Are dental x-rays safe? Dental x-rays are safe. We use modern, digital x-rays that emit significantly lower radiation levels than traditional x-rays. We also take every precaution, such as using lead aprons, to ensure your safety.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out? In the case of a knocked-out tooth, it is important to know exactly how to handle it, and act quickly:
| • |
First, handle the tooth by the crown, and not the root to avoid damage to the root.
|
| • |
Second, rinse it gently with water if it is dirty.
|
| • |
Third, make sure that it is aligned properly, and try to place the tooth back into the socket. This preserves the roots. If this isn't possible, store it in a container of milk or saliva to preserve the roots.
|
| • |
Lastly, contact our office immediately for emergency care. |
