Who benefits from general dentistry
General dentistry is the foundation of long-term oral health. We recommend regular check-ups and cleanings for every patient. General care is especially important if you are experiencing:
- Tooth pain or discomfort
- Dental injuries or trauma
- Jaw pain or TMJ symptoms
- A need for preventive care and maintenance
Preventive care comes first
Prevention is the least expensive dentistry there is. Regular checkups and cleanings let us find cavities and gum disease in their early stages, when the fix is small. Proactive care can prevent the need for root canals, crowns, and extractions later, and professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar that at-home brushing cannot reach.
A comfortable, unhurried visit
We understand that some people feel anxious about visiting the dentist. Dr. Choy takes the time to understand your particular needs and to develop a plan that matches your goals — not a template.
Common questions
How often should I actually come in?
Twice a year suits most people. If you have gum disease, a high cavity rate, or a dry mouth from medication, three or four times is more appropriate. If you have a very low risk profile, once a year may be enough. The interval should be a decision about you, not a default.
Nothing hurts. Why bother?
Because nothing hurting is not the same as nothing happening. Cavities are painless until they reach the nerve, and gum disease is painless until it has already cost you bone. The whole value of a checkup is finding things during the window where the fix is small, cheap, and quick.
What is actually included in a checkup?
An examination of the teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, X-rays where they are due or where something needs investigating, an oral cancer screening, and a cleaning. You should leave knowing what was found and what, if anything, needs doing.
Do you see children?
Yes. A first visit around the age of one, or when the first teeth come through, is what the guidance recommends, and early visits are mostly about making the place familiar rather than doing anything to them.
