Answering Your Concerns & Queries
We grasp that not everyone can visit our office or make a call when they have questions. For that reason, below are some of the most common concerns our dentists hear at Casper Family Dentistry of Dallas. Please review them to learn more about the services we offer and other relevant details. If your concern isn’t covered, we’ll
How Often Should I Visit the Dentist Each Year?
To preserve your long-term oral health and avoid dental diseases, try to visit a dentist every six months or so. These visits let us remove plaque and tartar from your mouth, ensuring they don’t harm your vital oral structures.
What Should I Do During a Dental Emergency?
Whether the dental emergency is minor or severe, you should first call our office to book an appointment. We’ll likely see you for a same-day visit. Even better, that same-day visit will remove your discomfort and protect the affected area. Please take a look at our emergency dentistry page for more information.
Can I Join My Child During Their Dental Treatment?
You most certainly can! If your kiddo doesn’t want to leave you during their treatment, you’re welcome to be beside them as they get care. For a child’s first dental visit, we even let parents sit in the dental chair and keep their child on their lap. This approach helps your little one feel more relaxed.
Do You Offer Orthodontic Services?
As a matter of fact, yes – our office offers a great many orthodontic services. We offer both traditional braces and Invisalign based on your needs. If the potential patient is a child, it’s best to start this orthodontic work early. That’s because your youngster’s mouth is still developing.
What Dental Insurance Do You Take?
In terms of dental insurance, our office is in-network with most PPO dental plans. However, we also take pride in accepting Medicaid plans for kids. You can also try out our in-house membership plan or our financing programs like CareCredit. Either one of these options can work well if you don’t have any dental insurance.
When Should My Child See the Dentist?
In general, it’s best to have your child attend their first visit within six months of their first tooth erupting or by their first birthday. This appointment will inform you of ideal at-home practices and relevant treatments. More extensive exams or cleanings will be done at later visits.
Can You Make My Family Members More Comfortable?
We can – comfort is a big goal at Casper Family Dentistry of Dallas. On one hand, we offer nitrous oxide sedation to help nervous patients relax. On the other hand, our offices are equipped with TVs to help distract you during treatment.
