Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry

What foods are healthy for my teeth?

If you want a healthy smile, you'll want a diet rich in whole grains, fiber, fruits and vegetables, calcium, and lean proteins. Make sure you avoid sugary drinks or sticky sweets, which can damage your tooth enamel. Drink plenty of water too! This washes away bacteria from your teeth and gums.

What is general dentistry?

Daily oral hygiene is essential to keeping your mouth clean and healthy. But as important as brushing and flossing are, they aren't enough on their own to protect your teeth and gums. General dentistry covers a wide range of treatments designed to help you prevent and detect dental problems so you can keep your oral health on track.

How soon after my dental cleaning can I eat?

Luckily, there's no reason to wait to eat after your cleaning. However, your teeth and gums may be a little sensitive. So, you may want to avoid extremely hot, cold, or acidic food and beverages for a few hours. Be sure to ask your dentist if you have any concerns about what you can eat or drink after your appointment.

In all of the dentists I've been to over the years, Dr. Roderick did the most thorough initial exam I've ever received. He was very kind and gentle and was there to answer any questions I had.

The minute you walk into Dr. Roderick's office you are greeted with warmth and friendliness from head to toe. Not only is Dr. Roderick outstanding, thorough, and direct. He actually spends the time to go over concerns he wants to treat going forward. Michelle the hygienest is excellent and very pleasant. Holly the office coordinator is bubbly and fun she certainly takes the edge off going to the dentist. Last but not least Priscilla Dr. Roderick's assistant is super and very personable. This dental practice is Top Notch you won't find one better in the valley!! I also want to add that Dr. Roderick saved my husband from some bad dental work that gave him a terrible infection two months ago. He truly was caring in responding to me reaching out on an emergency situation on a Sunday. He even went as far as setting him set up with an Oral surgeon that was all set up for Monday he was spot on with diagnosis. We really appreciate you Dr. Roderick and your amazing staff. You are a great team! I highly recommend this dental practice.
