Oral Health FAQs
How often should I come in for a dental exam and cleaning?
We generally recommend having your teeth checked and professionally cleaned at least twice a year. However, based on your individual needs, your dentist or dental hygienist might suggest more frequent visits.
Why are brushing and flossing so important?
Brushing and flossing are crucial for controlling the plaque and bacteria that lead to dental disease. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva that clings to your teeth and gums. If it’s not removed, it can cause tooth decay and gum disease.
What are common signs of gum disease?
It’s important to know that four out of five people may have periodontal disease without realizing it, as it’s often painless in its early stages. Keep an eye out for signs such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, extreme tooth sensitivity, or a receding gum line.
What can cause bad breath (halitosis)?
Bad breath can stem from various factors, including: reduced saliva flow during sleep, certain foods (like garlic or onions), poor oral hygiene, periodontal (gum) disease, dental cavities, improperly fitted dental appliances, dry mouth (Xerostomia), tobacco products, dieting, dehydration, hunger, missed meals, and even certain medical conditions or illnesses (such as diabetes or sinus infections).
Are amalgam (silver) fillings safe?
Amalgam fillings, a blend of copper, silver, tin, and zinc, bound by elemental mercury, have been used for over 100 years in dentistry. We can discuss any concerns you have about different filling materials during your visit.
How can cosmetic dentistry enhance my smile?
If you feel self-conscious about your teeth, cosmetic dental treatments can make a remarkable difference in the appearance of your smile. We can address issues like severely discolored or stained teeth, unwanted spaces, worn or chipped teeth, slight crowding, or misshapen teeth.
What are porcelain veneers and what can they correct?
Porcelain veneers are incredibly thin, custom-crafted shells of tooth-shaped porcelain designed to cover the fronts of your teeth. They are remarkably durable and stain-resistant. Veneers are an excellent option for restoring or correcting severely discolored or stained teeth, unwanted or uneven spaces, worn or chipped teeth, slight tooth crowding, and misshapen teeth.
