What are the advantages of having a local family dentist?
A local dentist makes dental care more accessible, especially for people with tight schedules. Appointments and follow-up visits for lengthy treatments will be easier to keep. You can even make multiple appointments for different family members on the same day for greater convenience.
Working with the same dentist builds familiarity and trust, which helps put anxious patients at ease. Personalized care, affordable dental care, and continuity of care are additional benefits of working with your dentist.
What services are offered by a local family dentist?
We offer a myriad of services for children, adults, and teens. These include preventive care like routine exams and cleanings, restorative treatments, cosmetic dentistry, surgical treatments, orthodontics, periodontal care, and more. You can entrust the care of your smile to Dr. Edmond and your dental team.
How often should I see my local dentist?
If you have good oral health, twice a year for checkups and cleanings is ideal. If you struggle with decay, gum disease, or other oral issues, you may need to see Dr. Edmond more frequently.

What can I expect from a dental checkup and cleaning?
For a routine checkup, Dr. Edmond will inspect your teeth, gums, throat, and jaw for signs of decay, gum infection, or abnormalities. We’ll examine past dental work to ensure your restorations are in good health. We’ll take dental X-rays annually to check for internal issues. We’ll also perform an oral cancer screening.
Then, our hygienist will clean your teeth using various dental tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities. We’ll clean your entire mouth, focusing on areas your toothbrush can’t reach. Lastly, we’ll floss and polish your teeth to restore their gleam.
How do I care for my teeth in between dental visits?
Daily brushing and flossing are the foundation for good oral health. Brush twice daily using a soft bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss before bedtime to remove food that may have gotten stuck in between your teeth. Rinse your mouth after meals to wash away food and debris. Watch what you eat! A healthy diet will help build strong gums and teeth. In contrast, acidic and sugary foods can erode your tooth enamel, putting you at risk of cavities.
