Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the dentist?

Dr. Vazquez recommends regular dental exams in Riverside every six months (twice a year) for most patients. These semi-annual visits allow us to monitor your oral health, catch potential problems early, and provide thorough cleanings that remove plaque and tartar.

The Reason for Twice-Yearly Dental Visits

Regular dental checkups serve several important purposes:

Early detection of problems such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer when they're easier and less expensive to treat.
Professional cleaning that removes hardened tartar, which you cannot eliminate with brushing and flossing alone.
Personalized oral hygiene tips based on your needs and oral health condition.
Assessing previous dental work to ensure that fillings, crowns, and other restorations are intact and functioning properly.
Regular x-rays to detect issues invisible to the naked eye, including problems below the gum line

Some May Need More Frequent Visits

Dr. Vazquez may recommend more frequent checkups (every 3–4 months) if you:

Have active gum disease
Are at high risk for cavities
Have a weakened immune system
Are pregnant
Have diabetes or other medical conditions
Use tobacco products
Have a history of frequent dental problems

Research also shows that poor oral health significantly impacts overall wellness, affecting everything from heart health to diabetes and even dementia.

General Dentistry Technology

Digital X-Rays & Sensors

Digital x-rays provide detailed images of teeth and supporting structures using up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays. The high-resolution images appear instantly on our screen, allowing Dr. Vazquez to identify issues like cavities, infections, or bone loss with incredible precision. This technology enhances early detection of dental problems while providing a safer, faster, and more comfortable experience during routine exams and diagnostic procedures.

Intraoral Cameras

This small, pen-sized camera captures detailed images inside your mouth that appear on the monitor in real time. This allows you to see exactly what Dr. Vazquez sees, making it easier to understand your oral health status and treatment recommendations. This visual education tool builds trust and confidence and helps us identify issues like cracks, leaking fillings, or early decay during examinations and consultations.
