Welcome to
Brighton Family Dentistry!

Most people do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. If you have a history of gum disease or a higher risk of decay, we may recommend coming in more often, and we will explain why.

For most people it is uncomfortable at most. Sensitivity and inflamed gums make it harder, so tell the hygienist what you are feeling as you go and they can adjust.

Call the office right away and describe what happened. Keep any pieces, rinse gently with water, and avoid chewing on that side until you have been seen.

Whitening lifts staining, and how much it lifts depends on the natural shade of your teeth and what caused the staining. Crowns and fillings do not change shade, so we look at the whole smile before recommending anything.

Persistent bad breath usually has a cause worth finding — gum inflammation, dry mouth, or a tooth that needs attention. Bring it up at your visit; it is a common question and a treatable one.

Call the office during business hours, or use the booking link on this page to request a time. Let us know what you need when you get in touch so we can set aside the right amount of time.

Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of anything you are currently taking or have had treated recently. If another office has records that are relevant, ask them to send those over ahead of time.

Call the office as early as you can and we will find another time. Letting us know ahead of the appointment also frees the slot for someone else who is waiting.
