Is teeth whitening safe?+
Teeth whitening is completely safe when you partner with your dentist. Patients who are especially prone to teeth sensitivity should consider brushing with an anti-sensitivity toothpaste in the days leading up to the treatment.
How often do I need a checkup and cleaning?+
Patients of all ages should undergo a checkup and cleaning every six months. But if it's been a while since your last visit, that's ok — schedule an appointment today to get back on track.
Is fluoride safe?+
Dr. Vidya recommends fluoride for strengthening tooth enamel against the acids and bacteria that cause decay. Children and cavity-prone adults especially benefit from its use.
Do root canals hurt?+
With our modern, experienced care and help from anesthesia, you are unlikely to experience any discomfort throughout a root canal treatment.
What can I do for a loose or uncomfortable denture?+
If you experience an ill-fitting denture, schedule an appointment with us right away. A prompt reline or refitting is necessary to prevent infection-prone oral sores.
What kind of braces do you offer for adults?+
Dr. Vidya offers conventional, clear, and accelerated orthodontic options. Choose from traditional braces, Invisalign, and Six Month Smiles.
Are x-rays safe?+
Digital x-rays expose you and your loved ones to up to 90% less radiation compared to the traditional method — so we can say that yes, x-rays are totally safe at South Jersey Center for Dental Medicine.
