How often should I get a cleaning and exam?
For most patients, every six months. The American Dental Association recommends a professional cleaning and exam twice a year. If you have gum disease or other risks, Dr. Chaudhry may suggest a tighter schedule that fits you.
Do you see children for general dentistry?
Yes. We provide gentle, welcoming pediatric care for kids and teens, including cleanings, exams, sealants, and fluoride. Family appointments can often be scheduled together so the whole household is seen in one trip.
What if I do not have dental insurance?
No problem. Uninsured patients can join the in-house Virginia Dental Club for affordable cleanings, exams, and discounts on most treatment. You always get a clear cost estimate before any work begins.
What is included in a comprehensive exam?
A full exam includes digital X-rays, a check of every tooth, gum-health measurements, and an oral cancer screening. Dr. Chaudhry reviews everything with you in plain language and answers your questions before any treatment.
