Frequently Asked Questions
Most people benefit from visiting the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and professional clean, though your individual needs may vary. At Nundah General & Emergency Dental, Dr Legin assesses your oral health and recommends a schedule tailored to your specific circumstances.
Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining good oral health and catching potential problems early. During these appointments, Dr Legin can identify issues such as tooth decay, gum disease or worn fillings before they develop into more serious concerns requiring extensive treatment. Professional cleaning also removes plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing can't fully eliminate.
Some patients may need more frequent visits, particularly if they have:
- Active gum disease or a history of periodontal issues
- A higher risk of tooth decay
- Diabetes or other health conditions affecting oral health
- Orthodontic appliances requiring monitoring
- Dental restorations that need regular assessment
- Weakened immune systems
Conversely, if you have excellent oral health and maintain thorough home care habits, Dr Legin may suggest that annual visits are sufficient for your needs.
Children should also visit the dentist regularly, ideally from the time their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. Early dental visits help establish good habits, allow monitoring of dental development and provide an opportunity to address any concerns.
If you're unsure how often you should be visiting, a consultation with Dr Legin can help determine the right schedule for you based on your oral health status and risk factors.
A Patient-Focused Approach to Care
Dr Legin believes that informed patients are better able to make decisions about their oral health. There's no jargon, no rushed explanations and no assumptions about what you already know.
Treatment recommendations are based on clinical findings and discussed openly, including available options, timing considerations and alternatives where appropriate. You're encouraged to ask questions, raise concerns and take an active role in deciding how and when treatment proceeds. After all, it's your smile.
A Focus on Preventive Dental Care
Prevention is always better than cure, and regular dental examinations and professional cleans may assist with identifying changes in oral health at an early stage.
Dr Legin provides practical guidance on oral hygiene practices, diet and lifestyle factors that can affect your teeth and gums. Preventive care may help reduce the likelihood of more complex dental treatment over time, although individual outcomes vary. Think of it as maintaining your car—regular check-ups can help you avoid bigger problems down the track.
