How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Sorge for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Sorge will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's crucial to follow Dr. Sorge's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Sorge will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Sorge offer any sedation options?

To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Dental Health Centre offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Sorge during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
