Dr. Hart Answers Your Questions
How often should I get a dental check-up?
Most patients should schedule a dental check-up every six months. Regular visits allow our team to monitor your oral health, provide professional care, and catch small issues before they become more serious. Some patients may need more frequent visits based on their individual needs, which we will recommend during your appointment.
What are some signs I should see a dentist?
You should see a dentist if you experience tooth pain, sensitivity, bleeding gums, swelling, or persistent bad breath. Changes in your bite, loose teeth, or discomfort when chewing are also signs that something may need attention. Early evaluation helps prevent problems from worsening.
What if I haven’t been to a dentist in years?
It’s never too late to get the care you need! You are always welcome in our office, no matter how long it has been since your last visit. Our team takes a judgment-free approach and focuses on helping you move forward comfortably. We’ll take the time to understand your needs and create a plan that fits your oral health goals.
Do you offer in-house oral surgery?
Wildwood Dental offers in-house oral surgery services, including wisdom tooth extractions. Providing these services in our office allows patients to receive care in a familiar, comfortable setting. Our team focuses on safety, comfort, and clear communication throughout the process to ensure a positive experience.
What if I need assistance outside of office hours?
If you need help outside of regular office hours, our after hours answering service is available to take your call. They will gather information and ensure your message is delivered promptly, especially if it’s an emergency, so we can provide guidance and determine the next steps for your care.
When is the best time to get wisdom teeth removed?
The best time to remove wisdom teeth is often before they cause pain, crowding, or infection. Many patients benefit from evaluation during the late teen or early adult years, when healing is typically easier. We can assess your unique situation and recommend the right timing.
What if I don’t know which services I need?
If you’re unsure which dental services you need, we’re happy to help. Scheduling a consultation with our Portland dental team allows us to evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns, and explain your options clearly. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your needs and goals.
