How often do I need to visit the dental office?

The ADA advises visiting the dentist at least every six months. This will help ensure that even if a problem does arise, the doctor at our office will be able to catch it quickly, minimizing the cost and severity of the issue.

What is the importance of baby teeth?

Yes, they are, baby teeth are there for a reason. Besides allowing your children to eat, speak and smile, baby teeth hold space for the eruption of permanent teeth. If they are lost prematurely, there are considerably higher chances of crowding in permanent dentition.

What are dental sealants?

Sealants are indicated for those patients that are cavity-prone. They cover the deep fissures in the back teeth, preventing the bacterial build-up that causes cavities. Our family dentist will evaluate if your little one needs sealants for prevention purposes.

Can I prevent dental decay?

Cavities are a consequence of multiple factors, but dental plaque is by far the most important one. As a consequence, avoiding bacterial build-up is vital to prevent dental decay. At All Family Dental Care, we insist on the importance of maintaining correct oral hygiene. Every family member should brush and floss their teeth at least twice a day, and it is also advisable to use ADA-approved fluoride toothpaste. This mineral strengthens the enamel's structure and makes it more resistant to decay.

Why are oral cancer screenings important?

Oral cancer should be taken seriously, dentists play a key role in the evaluation and diagnosis. As it is usually found in the tongue, tonsils, floor of the mouth, and oropharynx, dental checkups are crucial for its early detection and treatment. Finding cancer early (before it spreads) significantly increases the chances of recovery.

Sedation Dentistry FAQs

Your common questions answered by the experts.

Do you offer sedation dentistry in Everett, WA?

All Family Dental Care lists oral sedation and nitrous oxide as available sedation options. The right option depends on your health history, anxiety level, and planned treatment.
Is sedation dentistry only for major dental treatment?

Not always. Some patients ask about sedation because of dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or difficulty staying comfortable during care. Your dentist can explain whether it is appropriate for your appointment.
Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?

This depends on the sedation option used. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are commonly used to help patients relax while still receiving dental care. Confirm the exact level of sedation and instructions with the dentist before treatment.
How do I prepare for a sedation appointment?

Preparation depends on the option recommended. The team will review instructions related to food, medication, transportation, and aftercare before your visit.
