I’ve been going to Dr. Yates for many years and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. He’s such a great doctor and he and the staff are so nice. It’s always such a great experience every time I go!

Excellent service and patient care. Staff is friendly and professional. The only negative (and this is very rare for this practice) I feel today's appointment took longer than it should. Only needed to put a crown on an implant. I was in the chair for an hour and a half.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to brush my teeth?

To effectively clean your teeth, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, brushing in a circular motion for at least two minutes twice a day.

How often should I replace my toothbrush?

You should replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed.

Can flossing really make a difference in my oral health?

Yes, flossing daily helps remove plaque and food particles between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Is mouthwash necessary for good dental hygiene?

While not a substitute for brushing and flossing, mouthwash can be a helpful addition to your routine to reduce bacteria, freshen breath, and provide fluoride.

What are the signs of gum disease I should look out for?

Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth are common signs of gum disease that warrant a visit to the dentist.
