How often should I visit the dentist?

Every 6 months for a routine check-up and cleaning, even if you have no pain. Dental problems caught early are much cheaper and easier to treat.

Is a root canal painful?

Modern root canals are performed under local anesthesia and are no more painful than a filling. The procedure relieves the pain caused by infected pulp.

At what age should a child first see a dentist?

When the first tooth appears (around 6 months) or by age 1 at the latest. Early visits establish good oral hygiene habits and catch problems early.
