Visiting Our Team for the First Time?
At Steinberg and Associates, we believe that lasting dental health starts with getting to know our patients one on one. During your first visit, we not only strive to make you feel comfortable, we work hard to make sure you know what’s happening at every phase of treatment.
Your initial appointment with our St Clair Shores dentist consists of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be done the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral slip and any X-rays if applicable
- A list of medications you are presently taking
- If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend scheduling dental cleanings and exams every six months for optimal oral health. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits based on your specific needs.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with a wide variety of dental insurance providers. Please contact our office or visit our Insurance & Payment page for a full list of accepted plans.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit typically includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a discussion about your dental health goals. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan for you.
How often should I brush my teeth, and what is the proper technique?
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, especially before bed, using a soft-bristle toothbrush and an ADA-approved toothpaste. For the best results:
- Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums.
- Use gentle, circular motions to brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of each tooth.
- Don’t forget to brush the inside of your front teeth and your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
Electric toothbrushes are also recommended as they can efficiently remove plaque by simply guiding the brush while it works on multiple teeth at a time.
How often should I floss, and what is the correct way to do it?
You should floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between your teeth and under the gumline, where a toothbrush can’t reach. Follow these steps for effective flossing:
- Use about 12-16 inches of dental floss, wrapping it around your middle fingers, with 2 inches of floss between them.
- Gently insert the floss between your teeth using a sawing motion.
- Curve the floss into a “C” shape around each tooth, sliding it up and down to clean the side of each tooth and below the gumline.
If you find regular floss difficult to use, floss holders are a helpful alternative.
How often should I schedule dental cleanings and exams?
It is generally recommended to schedule dental cleanings and exams every six months. Regular visits help prevent common issues like cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup. They also allow your dentist to catch potential problems early. However, depending on your oral health, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits. Always follow your dentist’s advice based on your individual needs.
