-
How often should I come in for a dental cleaning?
Visiting us for a dental cleaning and comprehensive checkup every six months is the standard for most patients. These regular appointments give us the chance to catch small issues like early signs of decay or gum disease before they become more serious or expensive to treat.
Some patients may need to come in 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 provide you with a personalized care plan based on your needs, so you’re always getting the right level of care at the right time.
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.
-
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit at Tend Dental Navy Yard is designed to be both thorough and welcoming. Here’s what it includes:
- A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health
- Digital X-rays provide a close-up view beneath the surface while exposing you to less radiation than traditional X-rays
- A dental cleaning that is gentle and tailored to your oral health needs
- A private, one-on-one discussion with your dentist, who will walk you through any findings, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan if needed
We’ll also review your dental history, talk about your goals (whether it’s improving your oral health or brightening your smile), and give you plenty of time to ask any questions that you might have.
The environment is designed to feel calm and soothing, so you can relax and actually enjoy taking care of your smile.
-
How do I cancel or reschedule my appointment?
If your appointment time no longer works for you, please call us at (202) 455-4778 . Just make sure to do so more than 48 hours before your scheduled time. We reserve that time specifically for you, and our appointments are in high demand, so we appreciate as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule.
You can also log into your profile on the Tend Dental app to make any changes needed, including cancelling and rescheduling.
