You should visit your dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. Regular visits help detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
What causes tooth sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity often occurs when enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the dentin layer. It can also be triggered by tooth decay, cracked teeth, or whitening products.
How can I prevent cavities?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, eat a balanced diet low in sugar, and get regular dental cleanings. These habits help protect enamel and reduce bacteria buildup.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes, modern dental X-rays use very low radiation levels and are safe for both adults and children. Your dentist only recommends them when necessary to monitor your oral health.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
Rinse with warm salt water, take over-the-counter pain relief if needed, and contact your dentist as soon as possible. A toothache may indicate an infection or decay that needs treatment.
