FAQs
Why are regular checkups important?
-
Regular dental checkups are crucial for maintaining a healthy smile and preventing long-term issues. Professional cleanings with a dental hygienist remove mineralized plaque (tartar) that can harbor harmful bacteria and cause tooth damage. These cleanings also help slow tooth yellowing and keep your teeth looking their best. They also help detect hidden problems through X-rays, as well as detect gum disease early.
Why is brushing and flossing important?
-
Brushing and flossing do more than freshen your breath—they help disrupt and remove the biofilm (bacteria layer) on your teeth, preventing issues like cavities and gum disease. Be sure to talk to your dental hygienist for the best product recommendations, and remember to brush twice a day for two minutes and floss once a day. By brushing and flossing your teeth you also remove plaque, improve your gum health, and freshen your breath.
