Are dental X-rays safe?
Dental X-rays can be considered safe if they are performed properly. Braddock Family Dental uses digital radiography which emits less radiation than conventional X-ray machines. Digital X-rays give us detailed images of the teeth, gums, and jawbone. This allows us to diagnose dental issues accurately and plan treatment. By using the latest technology and adhering to strict safety protocols, we prioritize your safety while minimizing radiation exposure.

Do you provide emergency dental care services?
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, causing discomfort or pain. At Braddock Family Dental, we understand the urgency and try to accommodate urgent patients as quickly as possible. Our compassionate team can provide comprehensive and prompt care for severe tooth pain, a cracked restoration, or a knocked-out tooth. Please contact us immediately if you are experiencing a dental crisis. We will prioritize your needs.
How can I improve oral hygiene at my home?
It is important to maintain good oral hygiene in order to prevent dental problems and keep a healthy, bright smile. Brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste using a soft-bristled toothbrush is recommended at least twice daily. Daily flossing is essential to remove plaque and food particles between teeth and along your gum line. Mouthwash can also be incorporated into your oral care routine to kill bacteria and freshen your breath. A balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and calcium-rich food can help to support oral health. Our team can provide you with personalized oral care instructions and tips that will help you keep a healthy and clean smile at home.
What should I do in the event of a dental emergency that occurs after hours?
Dental emergencies can happen at any time. This includes outside of normal business hours. We recommend that you contact our office as soon as possible if you have a dental emergency, such as a severe toothache, a broken tooth, or a dental injury. The voicemail system can provide you with instructions on how to reach our on-call dental professional, who will assess your situation and give you advice on the next steps. We will do our best to provide you with prompt treatment to relieve your pain.
