DENTAL TIPS

Brushing twice daily with a good tooth brush, right technique and just a ‘Pea’ size toothpaste will do the trick.

Replace toothbrush every 3 months

Daily flossing is essential for healthy teeth and gum as tooth brushing alone does not reach the surfaces between your teeth. These are areas more prone to cavities and gum diseases.

Visit a dentist twice yearly for professional evaluation and advice.

Brushing 100%
Repalce Tootbrush 90%
Visit a dentist 2x a year 50%

Below are some of the frequently asked questions about oral health and us.

  • How often do I see a dentist?

    The American Dental Association (ADA) guidelines recommend visiting a dentist at least twice a year for a checkup and professional cleaning. Our office also recommends a minimum of two visits per year. Regular dental visits are essential in preventing dental problems and maintaining the health of your teeth and gum. At these visits, your teeth are checked for cavities and cleaned if necessary followed by oral hygiene instructions.

  • Brushing and Flossing help control the plaque and bacteria that causes dental disease. Plaque is a thin film of food debris, bacteria and saliva that sticks to the teeth and gums. The bacteria in plaque convert certain food particles into acids that cause tooth decay. Also, if plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus(tartar).Consequent to this is destruction of gums and bone(periodontal disease).Formation and growth of plaque is continuous and can only be controlled by regular and proper brushing, flossing and use of other aids.

    Brush your teeth at least twice a day (especially before going to bed) with an ADA approved toothbrush and toothpaste using the right technique. Flossing should be done daily, especially after meal. It is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gum line. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth and bone.

  • Bad breath can be an unpleasant and embarrassing condition. Many of us may not realize that we have it, but everyone do have bad breath from time to time, especially in the mornings. There are various reasons one may have bad breath, but in healthy people, the major reason is due to microbial deposits on the tongue, mostly the back of tongue. Some studies have shown that simply brushing the tongue reduced bad breath by as much as 70 percent.

  • Gum disease could mean Gingivitis (when only the gum is affected) or Periodontitis (when the gum and other supporting structures of the tooth, bone, ligaments are involved). Most people (4 out of 5) are not aware they have periodontal disease because it is usually painless in the early stage. Unlike tooth decay which often causes discomfort, it is possible to have to have periodontal disease without noticeable symptoms symptoms. Periodontal disease begins when plaque, a sticky colourless film of bacteria, food debris and saliva is left on the teeth and gums. The bacteria produces toxins that inflame the gums and slowly destroy the bone.

  • s we age, the outer layer of tooth enamel wears away, eventually revealing a darker or yellow shade. The colour of our teeth also comes from the inside of the tooth, which may become darker over time. Smoking, drinking coffee, tea, and wine may also contribute to tooth discoloration, making our teeth yellow and dull. Sometimes, teeth can become discolored from taking certain medications as a child, such as tetracycline. Excessive fluoridation (Fluorosis) during tooth development can also cause teeth to become discolored. Most of these teeth discoloration can be treated or corrected by teeth whitening.

    Professional teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple ,non invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel ,and is the ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Over-the-counter products are also available, but they are much less effective than professional treatments and may not have been approved by American Dental Association(ADA).

    It is important to have your teeth evaluated by a dentist to determine if you are a good candidate for whitening (bleaching).Occasionally, tetracycline and fluorosis stains are difficult to bleach and your dentist may offer other options, such as veneers or crowns to cover up such stains. It is also important to do scaling and polishing, fill existing cavities before teeth whitening begins. Also note that whitening only works on tooth enamel, so existing restorations, veneers, crowns can be changed to match the shade of the newly whitened teeth.

  • Chipped, cracked, gap teeth can be repaired using composite build up. For teeth that do not respond to bleaching, Composite or Porcelain veneers will be done to achieve a beautiful smile. Both porcelain and composite are colour-matched to the rest of your teeth.
