Q: Why is visiting the dentist so important?
A:
Visiting the dentist on a regular, monthly basis will not only help keep your teeth and oral health intact. It will also help keep the rest of your body healthy.
Dental care is important because it:
- Fights teeth decay
- Helps to prevent miscellaneous periodontal (gum) diseases, which eventually can lead to tooth loss
- Prevents bad breath. So besides brushing and flossing, seeing the dentist regularly will help eliminate the bacteria that causes a bad smell
- Awards you with a snow-white smile and a new breath of confidence!
- Makes your teeth stronger which allows you to eat any food you want, at any age!
Q: My teeth feel fine; do I still need to see a dentist?
A:
You may feel fine and think that your oral health is at no risk. But the thing is, that only a professional dentist can detect dental problems on early stages. This might happen only during a regular dental checkup. Caries, food staining, gums problems and teeth weakening are just a few such issues that can go unnoticed for quite a while. Also, you need to take advantage of all the modern dental medicine to fix any issues you did not fix earlier (like broken, chipped teeth etc...).
Q: How can I take care of my teeth in between dental checkups?
A:
Visiting the dentist on a regular, monthly basis will not only help keep your teeth and oral health intact. It will also help keep the rest of your body healthy.
- Do not forget to brush your teeth, at least, two times a day (2 minutes each time). Floss at least once a day!
- Use only a fluoride containing toothpaste. Ask your dentist if you also might need a fluoride rinse. This will prevent any cavities in the future!
