At Revival Dental, Dr. Rachel Neumeyer and our team want every patient to feel informed, comfortable, and confident about their dental care. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from patients of all ages.
Why are dental cleanings important?
Even with good brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth. Professional cleanings remove this buildup and help keep your gums healthy. Cleanings also give us a chance to catch issues early, saving you from more complex treatment later.
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend coming in for a checkup and cleaning every six months. These routine visits help prevent problems like cavities, gum disease, and tooth pain before they start. Some patients with gum disease or other concerns may need to visit more often, and Dr. Neumeyer will let you know what’s best for you.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a full exam, digital X-rays if needed, a discussion of your dental history, and a gentle cleaning. Dr. Neumeyer will talk with you about any concerns, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. We focus on comfort, clarity, and making sure you never feel rushed.
What are signs I may need to see the dentist soon?
Call us if you notice:
- Tooth pain or sensitivity
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A lost filling or crown
- Jaw pain or headaches
- Persistent bad breath
- Don’t wait—small issues can turn into bigger problems quickly.
When should my child start seeing the dentist?
Children should have their first dental visit by age one or within six months of their first tooth coming in. Early visits help kids feel comfortable in the dental office and allow us to monitor healthy growth and development.
