Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

How often should I visit the dentist for a checkup?

Most patients should schedule a dental checkup and cleaning every six months. However, Dr. Chillemi may recommend more frequent visits based on your specific needs.

Are general dentistry services covered by insurance?

Many general services like cleanings, exams, x-rays, and fillings are covered by most dental insurance plans. Our team is happy to help you verify your benefits before treatment.

At what age should children start seeing a dentist?

We recommend bringing your child in for their first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts—whichever comes first.

Is fluoride treatment safe for children?

Yes, fluoride is a safe and effective way to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities, especially in children who are still developing good oral hygiene habits.
