Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a dental exam and teeth cleaning?

You should have a dental exam and cleaning once every six months, or twice a year. This ensures that your teeth remain clean and healthy, so plaque is less likely to harden and cause cavities.

Some people who are more at risk for cavities or oral disease may need to come in for appointments more often. If you fall into this category, Dr. Siddappa will let you know. She’ll also help you develop an at-home care routine that’ll keep your oral health in top shape.

How can I improve my smile?

If you’re looking to improve your smile, all you need to do is schedule a consultation with Dr. Siddappa. She’ll perform an oral examination to see how she can improve your overall smile and oral health. Dr. Siddappa may use a combination of procedures in order to get the smile you’re seeking.

One of the best ways to get a better smile is to take good care of your oral health. Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing once a day, and visiting your dentist every six months can make a big difference in your smile’s appearance and health.
