Question 1

How often should I come in for a dental cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Most patients should return for a cleaning and checkup every six months. These regular visits help us catch small issues, such as early signs of decay or gum disease, before they become more serious or expensive to treat. However, some patients may need to visit more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances like aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup. Your dentist will develop a personalized care plan just for you, ensuring you receive the right amount of care when you need it most. Even if everything looks great, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't remove, and they’re key to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.

Question 53

Are you accepting new patients at Tend Dental Grand Central?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we look forward to welcoming new patients at Tend Dental Grand Central! Whether it’s been six months or six years since your last dental appointment, our team is here to make you feel at ease. We pride ourselves on creating a judgment-free environment where every patient is treated with empathy and respect. Your first visit will include a comprehensive exam, a detailed review of your oral health, and time to discuss any concerns or goals you may have. We’ll ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and fully supported from the moment you walk in.

Question 54

How often should I come in for a dental cleaning?

Accepted Answer

In most situations, we recommend having a dental cleaning and checkup every six months. This is standard for the majority of patients. These routine exams help us catch small issues like early signs of decay or gum disease before they become more serious or expensive to treat. However, some patients may need to visit more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances such as aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup. Your dentist will work with you to create a personalized care plan based on your needs, so you’re always getting the right level of care at the right time. Even if there are no oral health concerns, cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't remove. They’re crucial to keeping your smile feeling fresh and looking its best.
