Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I visit the dentist for checkups?

Most patients benefit from visiting the dentist every six months for routine cleanings and examinations. However, some patients with gum disease, diabetes, or other risk factors may need to visit more frequently. During your visit to DDG Florham Park, our team will assess your individual needs and recommend a personalized schedule to maintain optimal oral health.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency in Florham Park?

If you experience a dental emergency such as severe pain, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken crown, contact DDG Florham Park immediately. Our Florham Park office is equipped to handle urgent dental issues and we work to accommodate emergency patients quickly. Time is critical in many dental emergencies, so call us as soon as possible rather than waiting for your next scheduled appointment.

How can I prevent cavities and tooth decay?

Preventing cavities requires a combination of good daily habits and professional care. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary foods and drinks, and maintain regular dental visits. Our team at DDG Florham Park can also provide preventive treatments like dental sealants and fluoride applications to further protect your teeth.

What is the difference between a cleaning and a deep cleaning?

A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar from above the gumline and is part of routine preventive care. A deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, treats gum disease by removing buildup below the gumline and smoothing the tooth root. Our dentists will evaluate your gum health and determine which type of cleaning you need during your examination.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush or floss?

Bleeding gums often indicate early gum disease or gingivitis, typically caused by plaque buildup and inadequate oral hygiene. While occasional bleeding during flossing is common when starting a new routine, persistent bleeding warrants professional evaluation. Schedule an appointment with DDG Florham Park so our team can assess your gum health and recommend appropriate treatment to prevent progression to more serious periodontal disease.
