Question 1

How Do I Find a Good Dentist Near Me?

Accepted Answer

When searching for a dentist near me in Sheepshead Bay or Brooklyn, consider factors like patient reviews, the range of services offered, technology used, and overall patient experience. At Gamma Dental Clinic, we provide comprehensive general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry for adults and children, using modern diagnostic tools and comfortable treatment techniques. Our team focuses on long-term oral health, transparent communication, and treatment plans tailored to each patient.

Question 2

What Should I Expect During My First Dental Visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit includes a full oral exam, digital X-rays (if needed), gum evaluation, and screening for cavities or other conditions. You’ll also receive a professional cleaning unless a different treatment is required first. After the exam, your Sheepshead Bay dentist reviews your results, explains treatment options, and answers any questions.

Question 3

How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?

Accepted Answer

Most patients should schedule a dental exam and professional cleaning every six months. Routine visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other issues before they become serious. Patients with gum disease, braces, dental implants, or a history of frequent decay may be advised to visit more often — typically every 3–4 months.

Question 4

Why Is It Important to See a Dentist Regularly Even if My Teeth Feel Fine?

Accepted Answer

Many dental issues develop without pain, including early decay, gum disease, cracks, bite problems, or bone loss. Regular dental care allows your dentist to detect issues early and provide a thorough professional cleaning that removes tartar you cannot remove at home.

Question 5

How Long Will I Stay Numb After a Dental Procedure?

Accepted Answer

Most patients remain numb for 2–4 hours after receiving local anesthesia. Some mild tingling can last slightly longer. Avoid chewing until sensation returns to prevent accidentally biting your lips or cheeks.

Question 8

How Do I Choose the Right Dentist in Sheepshead Bay or Brooklyn?

At What Age Should My Child Start Seeing a Dentist?

Question 14

Are Dental X-Rays Safe?

Question 15

What Is the Difference Between a General Dentist and a Specialist?
