FAQ
How often should I see a dentist?
The American and Canadian Dental Associations recommend visiting a dentist at least twice a year for a check-up and professional cleaning. Our office also recommends a minimum of two visits each year.
What is your clinic experience like?
During regular visits, we will examine your teeth and gums, screen you for oral cancer, clean your teeth and make plans for treatment, as needed. We will discuss any pain or problems you may be experiencing and answer any questions you may have.
Toothbrushes
Adults, children, and anyone with sensitive teeth should use a small to medium size toothbrush with soft bristles. Soft bristle toothbrushes ensure the enamel on your teeth will not be worn down by brushing too hard or for too long. The head of the brush needs to be small enough to brush all areas of the mouth thoroughly, specifically the back of the mouth, which can be hard to reach.
With each use of your toothbrush, the bristles become worn and cleaning effectiveness decreases. Depending on your oral health, you may need to replace your brush sooner. We recommend you replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Typically, a child's toothbrush needs to be replaced more regularly than adults, every 1-2 months.
Generally, manual toothbrushes are just as effective as powered toothbrushes. If you have difficulty using a manual toothbrush, a powered toothbrush may be much more comfortable and easier to use. Regardless of which toothbrush you choose, be sure to select one you find easy to use. There are many kinds of toothbrushes available. Your dentist can help you decide which type of brush is most suitable for you.
Routine Care at Home
The best way to keep your teeth clean, your gums pink and healthy, and your breath fresh, is to follow a program of daily oral hygiene:
- Brush and Floss | Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, and floss at least once daily. This will help remove plaque from the surface of your teeth. The bacteria in plaque can turn sugars from food into acids, which attack the tooth's enamel and cause tooth decay. Some bacteria can also cause gingivitis and other gum diseases.
- Limit Snacking | Sugary snacks are the perfect fuel for decay-causing bacteria. When eaten throughout the day, they keep the acid, produced by bacteria, constantly on the attack. So limit sugary treats to mealtimes and try to snack on healthier foods such as fruits, vegetables, and yogurt.
- Quit Tobacco | Whether smoked or smokeless, tobacco use greatly increases your risk of oral cancer, gum disease, and tooth decay (not to mention heart disease and lung cancer).
- Examine Your Mouth Regularly | Once you have established a regular routine, you will quickly recognize any changes in your mouth — like chipped teeth, red or swollen gums, or unusual sores. If you find something of concern, let your dentist know. Early treatment offers the best chance to remedy many concerns.
- Wear a Mouthguard/ Nightguard | If you or your children participate in sports, you should protect your teeth with a mouthguard. This is particularly important if you wear braces, have had restorative dental work in the past, or if you clench or grind your teeth.
