Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry
How often should I schedule a dental visit?
Most patients benefit from visiting us twice a year for checkups and cleanings. However, some patients with a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or other ongoing concerns may need to come in more often. During your first visit, our team will recommend a schedule that fits your specific oral health needs.
At what age should my child first see a dentist?
The American Dental Association recommends bringing children in for their first visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Starting early helps establish healthy habits and allows our team to monitor development from the very beginning. We’re happy to provide dental care in La Mesa for patients of all ages, from toddlers to seniors.
What’s the difference between a general dentist and a specialist?
A general dentist is your primary dental care provider. We handle a wide range of everyday needs, from cleanings and fillings to crowns, bridges, and oral surgery referrals. Specialists, such as orthodontists or periodontists, focus on a specific area of dentistry and typically see patients after a referral. For most people, general dentistry covers the majority of what they need to keep their smile healthy year-round.
Does it hurt to get a filling?
Modern fillings are much more comfortable than many patients expect. We use local anesthesia to numb the area before treatment, so you should feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. If anxiety is a concern, ask us about our sedation options.
Does Cardinal Dental accept dental insurance?
Yes, we work with many insurance plans and are happy to help you understand your benefits before your appointment. For questions about coverage or to verify your insurance, call us at (619) 345-7999. Our team is here to make quality dental care in La Mesa as accessible as possible.
