We recommend most patients visit Woo Family Dentistry in San Leandro for a dental checkup and cleaning every six months. However, if you have gum disease, diabetes, or other risk factors, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits. Regular checkups help us catch problems early before they become costly treatments.
If you experience severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, or facial swelling, contact Woo Family Dentistry in San Leandro immediately. We prioritize emergency cases and will do our best to see you the same day. In the meantime, rinse with salt water and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed on the package.
Professional teeth whitening performed at our San Leandro dental office is safe and much more effective than over-the-counter products. Our dentists use proven whitening systems and protective barriers to ensure your enamel stays healthy while brightening your smile. We can discuss which whitening option is best for your specific teeth and goals.
Bleeding gums are often a sign of early gum disease or improper brushing technique. We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle circular motions rather than aggressive scrubbing. If bleeding persists, schedule an appointment so we can evaluate your oral health and recommend a treatment plan.
Dental implants are the most durable and natural-looking tooth replacement option available, lasting 25+ years with proper care. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants don't require shaving down healthy teeth and help preserve your jawbone. At Woo Family Dentistry, our team can evaluate whether implants are right for you during a consultation.
