A:<\/strong> Visiting the dentist on a regular, monthly basis will not only help keep your teeth and oral health in tact. It will also help keep the rest of your body healthy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Fights teeth decay<\/em><\/li>
  • Helps to prevent miscellaneous periodontal (gum) diseases, which eventually can lead to tooth loss<\/em><\/li>
  • Prevents bad breath. So besides brushing and flossing, seeing the dentist regularly will help eliminate the bacteria that causes a bad smell<\/em><\/li>
  • Awards you with a snow-shite smile and a new breath of confidence!<\/em><\/li>
  • Helps keep teeth shiny by preventing them being stained by food, drinks, and cigarettes<\/em><\/li>
  • Makes your teeth stronger which allows you to eat any food you want, at any age!<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Q:<\/strong> My teeth feel fine; do I still need to see a dentist?<\/h4>

    A:<\/strong> You may feel fine and think that your oral health is at no risk. But the thing is, that only a professional dentist can detect dental problems on early stages. This might happen only during a regular dental checkup. Caries, food staining, gums problems and teeth weakening are just a few such issues that can go unnoticed for quite a while. Also, you need to take advantage of all the modern dental medicine to fix any issues you did not fix earlier (like broken, chipped teeth etc…).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Q:<\/strong> How can I take care of my teeth in between dental checkups?<\/h4>

    A:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

    • Do not forget to brush your teeth, at least, two times a day (5 minutes each time). Floss at least once a day!<\/em><\/li>
    • Use only a fluoride containing toothpaste. Ask your dentist if you also might need a fluoride rinse. This will prevent any cavities in the future! <\/em><\/li>
    • Avoid sugary drinks, foods and cigarettes as much as possible. These harm the overall immunity of your mouth and stain your teeth badly. <\/em><\/li>
    • When brushing teeth, brush your tongue as well! By doing so you will remove food particles and reduce the amount of mouth bacteria. <\/em><\/li>
    • Tongue brushing will make your breath much fresher!<\/em><\/li>
    • Be sure to schedule your regular, routine check-ups. It is recommended to check your teeth at least twice a year or even more often. <\/em><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
