What Are Restorative Dental Procedures?Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?
Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting the dentist at least twice a year for routine cleanings and examinations. However, the frequency of your visits may vary depending on your individual needs.
Some people may require more frequent visits, such as those with gum disease, a history of cavities, or certain medical conditions. Your dentist will assess your oral health and recommend a personalized schedule for your check-ups.
By visiting the dentist regularly, you can prevent dental problems before they become more serious and costly to treat. Regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Dental examinations can also detect early signs of oral health issues, allowing for prompt intervention and treatment.

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
Dental X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool that helps dentists detect dental problems that may not be visible during a routine examination. While X-rays do involve a small amount of radiation, the risks are minimal, and the benefits far outweigh them.
At Foothill Modern Dental, we prioritize patient safety and adhere to strict guidelines to minimize radiation exposure. We use advanced digital X-ray technology, which significantly reduces radiation compared to traditional film X-rays. Additionally, we employ lead aprons and thyroid collars to further protect our patients.
The frequency of dental X-rays varies depending on individual needs and oral health conditions. Your dentist will assess your situation and recommend X-rays when necessary to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
If you have any concerns or questions about dental X-rays, our knowledgeable team will be happy to address them during your visit. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities.
