How often should I come in for a cleaning?

Dr. Mitchell or Dr. Carter will recommend the right schedule for your individual needs at your first appointment.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about General & Family Dentistry.

Does my whole family see the same doctor?

Yes. One of the things patients love most about Riverside is that your whole family sees the same doctors. Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Carter both treat patients of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, so your family builds a real long-term relationship with both of them over the years.

What happens if I have not been to the dentist in a long time?

We never judge. Many patients come to us after years without dental care, for all kinds of reasons. We will start with a thorough exam to understand exactly where things stand, then present a clear, prioritized plan without overwhelming you. We work at your pace and we are on your side.

Are X-rays really necessary at every visit?

Not necessarily at every visit. The frequency depends on your age, risk level, and dental history. Many adults need X-rays every 12 to 24 months. We use digital X-rays at Riverside, which use significantly less radiation than traditional film and give us a much clearer picture of what is happening between and beneath your teeth.
