How often should I see the dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that most adults and children visit the dentist twice a year for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. However, if you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain health conditions like diabetes, we may recommend visiting every three to four months to keep your smile healthy.

How can I prevent cavities?

The best way to prevent cavities is to maintain a strong daily oral hygiene routine. You should brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily to remove plaque between teeth, and limit sugary snacks and beverages. Visiting us every six months for a professional cleaning and exam is also crucial for stopping decay before it starts.

How much does professional teeth whitening cost?

Professional teeth whitening starts at $349 at our Sherman Oaks office.

Do I really need to pull my wisdom teeth?

Not always. If your wisdom teeth are fully erupted, healthy, and properly aligned, they may not need to be removed. However, if they are impacted, causing pain, crowding nearby teeth, or showing signs of decay, removal is usually recommended. We can evaluate your wisdom teeth during a checkup.

How important is flossing?

Flossing is essential for your oral health. Brushing alone only cleans about 60% of your tooth surfaces. Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline, helping to prevent cavities, bad breath, and gum disease.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer CareCredit and additional financing options to help make treatment more affordable.

Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?

Yes. We offer same-day appointments and same-day emergency dental care whenever availability allows. Call us at (818) 784-5889 for immediate help.

Do you offer sedation dentistry?

Yes. Riverside Dental offers sedation dentistry for patients who want a more comfortable treatment experience.

What Are Dental Implants?
