Does your clinic offer sedation dentistry services?
We understand that some patients are nervous about dental treatments and are happy to offer oral sedation or happy gas, so they are relaxed and comfortable during their treatment.
Are dental treatments safe for pregnant women?
Yes, it is generally safe for pregnant women to receive dental care while pregnant. However, it is important that you inform us if you are pregnant before any treatment takes place. We may opt for adjustments in your treatment or medication based on your specific needs during pregnancy.

Are there any special preventative measures I can take against cavities?
Yes! Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste is the most effective way of preventing cavities over time. Additionally, using a mouth rinse and eating foods that are low in sugar content can also help protect against developing cavities in the future. It is important to keep up good oral hygiene practices by regularly flossing between teeth in order to keep plaque buildup under control.
How often should I have my teeth checked by a dentist?
We strongly recommend you visit our dental clinic in Hammondville at least twice a year for a comprehensive dental checkup. Regular checkups can help identify and prevent potential issues, such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. Additionally, we may recommend more frequent visits depending on your individual risk factors or existing dental conditions.
Is there any way to fix cracked or chipped teeth?
Yes, there are several treatments that can be used to fix cracked or chipped teeth. Depending on the severity of the damage, we may use a composite material to fill in the gaps in order to restore the shape and appearance of your tooth. Other options include using veneers or crowns to fully replace damaged portions of a tooth.
Does your office provide emergency care?
Yes, we do! Our clinic is equipped and staffed to provide emergency treatment. Please call us at the first sign of a dental emergency so that we can provide prompt assistance to alleviate potential discomfort and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Are all dental procedures covered by insurance?
Several types of dental procedures are covered by insurance plans so it is advisable to speak with your provider directly and review what types of procedures and services may be covered under your particular plan.
Additionally, Hammondville Dental makes dental care affordable by offering payment plans which can help cover any out-of-pocket costs.
