Common questions about preventive and general dentistry at our Charlottesville office.
How often should I get a dental checkup?
For most patients, a cleaning and exam every six months keeps small issues from becoming big ones. If you have gum disease or other risk factors, Dr. Karamcheti may suggest a slightly more frequent schedule that fits you.
What happens during a routine dental exam?
We review your health history, take any needed digital X-rays, check your teeth and gums, screen for oral cancer, and clean away plaque and tartar. Then we walk you through what we found in plain English.
Do you treat children at your Charlottesville office?
Yes. We welcome patients of every age, from a child's first visit through their teen years. Our team keeps young patients comfortable with gentle, unhurried care and a calm, friendly environment.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Digital dental X-rays use very low radiation and are considered safe for routine use. We only take them when they help us diagnose accurately, and we protect you with proper shielding every time.
