A dentist cares for teeth and gums: check-ups and cleaning, fillings, root canals, extractions, crowns and cosmetic dentistry. A check-up every 6–12 months catches decay and gum disease before they hurt.
Every 6–12 months for a check-up and cleaning, sooner for pain, sensitivity, bleeding gums, or a broken tooth.
Often, yes. Doctera shows each dentist's real-time calendar, so you can find the earliest opening and book a same-day visit when a slot is free. For severe pain, facial swelling or a knocked-out tooth, contact a dentist or emergency care immediately.
Fees vary by dentist, city and treatment, from a simple check-up to teeth whitening or dental implants. Each dentist profile on Doctera shows the consultation fee upfront when the doctor publishes it, so you can compare and book your appointment online.
