Have Questions About Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dental care is one of the most important steps you can take for your long-term oral health—but knowing where to start isn’t always easy. Whether you’re wondering how often to schedule checkups, what fluoride treatments do, or how to prevent gum disease, our FAQ answers the most common questions we hear from patients in Pittsburg, CA. Explore below to learn how preventive dentistry can help you keep your smile healthy and strong for years to come.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
We recommend getting a professional dental cleaning and exam every six months. This allows us to remove buildup, monitor your oral health, and catch issues early—before they become more serious or costly to treat.
What’s the purpose of preventive dental care?
Preventative care is all about avoiding problems before they start. With regular visits, we can detect cavities, gum disease, and other concerns early, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. At Bahia Dental Group, we use low-radiation digital X-rays that are safe, quick, and incredibly effective at detecting issues below the surface—such as decay, infections, or impacted teeth.
Do kids need fluoride or sealants?
Absolutely. Children benefit greatly from fluoride treatments, which strengthen developing teeth, and dental sealants, which protect back teeth from cavities. Both are simple, painless, and highly effective preventive tools.
Can I skip cleanings if my teeth feel fine?
Even if your teeth feel fine, plaque and tartar can still build up in areas you can’t see or reach at home. Cleanings aren’t just about how your teeth feel—they’re about keeping your entire mouth healthy for the long term.
