How often should I schedule dental check-ups and cleanings?
It is generally recommended to visit your dentist for a check-up and cleaning every six months. However, your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your individual oral health needs.
What should I do in case of an emergency, such as a broken tooth or severe toothache?
In the event of a dental emergency, contact our office immediately. We will provide guidance on how to manage the situation until you can see a dentist. If it’s after hours, consider going to the nearest emergency dental clinic.
What are the benefits of professional teeth whitening compared to over-the-counter products?
Professional teeth whitening conducted by a dentist offers faster, more effective, and longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter products. It is also safer and can be customized to your specific needs while being supervised by a dental professional.
How can I alleviate dental anxiety or fear of the dentist?
Dental anxiety is common, and your comfort is important to us. We offer sedation options and can discuss techniques to make your visit as stress-free as possible. Open communication with your dentist about your concerns is key to a positive experience.
What is the importance of oral hygiene and how can I maintain good oral health at home?
Good oral hygiene is essential for preventing dental problems. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash. A balanced diet, limiting sugary foods, and avoiding tobacco products are also important for maintaining oral health. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for early detection and prevention of issues.
