General Dental Health

What is the importance of oral hygiene?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for preventing dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. It also contributes to overall health, as oral health is linked to systemic conditions.

How often should I visit the dentist?

The ADA recommends visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings, normally every 6 months.

How can I prevent gum disease?

Prevent gum disease by maintaining proper oral hygiene, including brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Dental X-rays are considered safe; they use low levels of radiation to capture images of your teeth and gums. Dentists take precautions to minimize exposure.

Orthodontic Treatment

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a dental specialty focusing on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, such as misaligned teeth and jaws.

At what age should my child see an orthodontist?

The AAO recommends that children have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7 to identify any potential issues early.

Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?

Yes, adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and many orthodontic options are available for adults.

What are the different types of braces?

Types of braces include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners. Your orthodontist can recommend the best option for you.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on individual cases but typically ranges from 12 to 30 months.

Dental Insurance and Costs

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Dental insurance plans vary; some may cover a portion of orthodontic treatment, especially for children. It’s essential to review your specific plan details.

How can I estimate the cost of dental procedures?

Discuss treatment options and costs with your dentist. They can provide a detailed treatment plan and explain any associated fees.

What is the difference between in-network and out-of-network providers?

In-network providers have agreements with insurance companies to offer services at predetermined rates, potentially lowering out-of-pocket costs. Out-of-network providers do not have such agreements, which may result in higher costs for patients.

Oral Health and Lifestyle

How does diet affect oral health?

A balanced diet supports oral health by providing essential nutrients for strong teeth and gums. Avoid excessive sugary or acidic foods, as they contribute to tooth decay and erosion.

Does smoking affect oral health?

Yes, smoking significantly increases the risk of gum disease, tooth loss, and oral cancer. It also causes bad breath and stains teeth. Quitting smoking improves overall oral health.

How does stress impact oral health?

Stress can lead to teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw pain, and gum disease. Managing stress through relaxation techniques and regular dental check-ups can help mitigate its effects.

Why is hydration important for oral health?

Staying hydrated helps maintain saliva flow, which is essential for washing away food particles and bacteria, preventing dry mouth, and maintaining a healthy oral environment.

I had a chipped tooth # 2 that needed a new crown. I called for an apt. on Monday and to my delight, got an appointment on Thursday. Dr Bay was an excellent dentist that I would classify as a perfectionist. I am so fortunate to have found an excellent dentist in Springville.

Just moved over from the West Jordan location to the Herriman one, by chance, and I'm glad I did. Loved being taken care of by Dr. Durrani. Not only is she knowledgeable and skilled, she also doesn't over chart you with procedures just to squeeze every penny out of you; but only does what is absolutely necessary. I appreciate that in this bad economy!
