How often should I see a dentist?

Many adults do well with a check-up every six months. Your dentist may suggest a different interval based on your gum health and how quickly problems develop.

Do I need a check-up if nothing hurts?

Often, yes. Early decay and gum disease usually cause no pain, so a check-up can find them while they are simple to deal with.

Is general dentistry covered by insurance?

Many dental plans include routine check-ups and cleaning. Direct billing with Aafiya, Almadallah, Daman, Enaya and Inayah for eligible plans. Other insurance: pay at the clinic and claim reimbursement. Coverage depends on your policy and treatment — call us with your details to check.

What it is

General dentistry is the routine side of dental care — the visits that keep problems from starting, and catch them early when they do.

For most people it means a check-up and a clean twice a year, plus fillings when decay appears. If a tooth is badly damaged, root canal treatment or an extraction is discussed instead.

Dr. Michelle was professional, gentle, and very thorough. My cleaning and filling were done smoothly, and she made me feel comfortable throughout the whole visit. Highly recommended!
