Contrary to what many patients may assume, your dentist Dr. Neda Sayyah, is there for more than knocked out teeth and toothaches. Helping with proper preventive care will help keep your mouth healthy and help prevent more serious issues from occurring.
Every 6 Months
At the very least, you should be visiting Dr. Neda Sayyah every 6 months. This allows her to fully inspect your teeth and gums and ensure that there are no issues that you are not aware of yet. When you let conditions with your teeth get out of hand, resolving decay or disease can be quite costly to your health and your pocketbook. By keeping your twice yearly appointments, you can keep your mouth healthy and your pain to a minimum.
Why Is My New Patient Visit So Long?
When you visit our office for the first time, we schedule you for a comprehensive exam, which often can take an hour or longer. We schedule plenty of time with Dr. Sayyah so that she can thoroughly review your dental history, answer questions and concerns, and examine you to assess all of your current needs. She will also let you know if any potential problem areas that may arise in the future based on x-rays, visual examination, and knowledge of your past dental and medical history.
On subsequent visits, Dr. Neda Sayyah will be able to determine if anything has drastically changed since your initial exam, and understand what is considered normal for your particular mouth.
Immediate Assistance
Of course, if you have any issues that require immediate dental assistance, you should not delay in calling our office. Anytime you experience pain, bleeding, a lost permanent tooth, a lost filling, or anything out of the ordinary, you should call us right away.
