Frequently Asked Questions
At Faye’s Dental, we believe informed patients make the best decisions for their oral health. Here are answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask:
Most patients benefit from a hygiene appointment every six months. However, depending on your oral health, you may need more frequent visits. Our team will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
Professional whitening, like our Wicked White system, uses stronger but safe whitening agents applied under supervision. The results are faster, longer-lasting, and more even compared to over-the-counter options. Plus, treatment is tailored to your smile for maximum safety and comfort.
Yes. When performed by dental professionals, whitening is safe and effective. We ensure your gums and enamel are protected throughout the process. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, which usually resolves quickly.
Perio-charting measures the depth of the spaces between your teeth and gums to monitor gum health. This helps us detect early signs of gum disease, track changes over time, and create a treatment plan to protect your smile.
Fluoride isn’t just for kids. Adults benefit from fluoride because it strengthens enamel, prevents cavities, and reduces sensitivity. It’s especially helpful if you are prone to decay, have exposed root surfaces, or suffer from dry mouth.
An oral cancer screening is quick, painless, and part of your regular exam. We check your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat for unusual patches, sores, or lumps. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
Cleanings are generally comfortable. Some patients with sensitive gums may feel slight discomfort, but our hygienists use gentle techniques to keep the experience as pleasant as possible.
To maintain results, avoid dark beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine for the first 24–48 hours. Brush and floss daily, attend routine cleanings, and schedule touch-ups as needed.
Yes, we work with most dental insurance providers. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits and process claims. Please contact us with your insurance details for confirmation.
Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease. Don’t ignore it—schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. Early treatment can reverse the condition and prevent more serious problems.
