Dental Health & Care
We recommend visiting every 6 months for routine checkups and cleanings. However, patients with gum disease or other conditions may need more frequent visits.
Children should have their first dental visit by age 1 or when their first tooth appears. Early visits help establish good oral hygiene habits and monitor development.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks, and visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
Practice good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing), avoid tobacco, eat a balanced diet, and get regular professional cleanings to prevent gum disease.
Modern digital X-rays expose you to minimal radiation - less than you receive from natural background radiation in a day. They are safe and essential for detecting problems not visible during examination.
Specific Treatments
Most root canals can be completed in 1-2 appointments, each lasting 60-90 minutes. Complex cases may require additional visits.
In most cases, yes - especially for back teeth. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracture and restores full function.
Composite (tooth-colored) fillings last 5-10 years, while amalgam fillings can last 10-15 years or more with proper care and oral hygiene.
No! Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age. We treat many adult patients who want to straighten their teeth and improve their smile.
Treatment duration varies from 12-36 months depending on the complexity of your case. Dr. Vetal will provide an estimated timeline during consultation.
Clear aligners are highly effective for mild to moderate alignment issues. Traditional braces may be better for complex cases. We will recommend the best option for your situation.
