Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of professional dental cleanings compared to at-home oral care?
Professional dental cleanings offer several advantages over at-home oral care routines. While home care plays a crucial role, it compliments the deeper cleaning provided by dental clinics. Regular cleans not only help detect oral health issues early but also allow dentists to remove tartar buildup, particularly beneath the gums, effectively eliminating harmful bacteria. This comprehensive approach ensures a healthier mouth and a brighter smile for the long term.
Will I experience any pain or discomfort ?
It is common to experience some mild sensitivity or discomfort after a dental cleaning, especially if tartar buildup was significant or if you have sensitive gums. This discomfort typically subsides within a day or two. Over-the-counter pain relievers and desensitizing toothpaste can help alleviate any temporary discomfort. We usually provide you with a tube of desensitizing gel to be applied at home. If you experience persistent pain or discomfort, please call us and we will book an appointment to evaluate further.
What is the proper way to brush and floss teeth
To brush effectively, use a circular motion with an electric toothbrush and high fluoride toothpaste, ensuring to brush after breakfast and before bed. It’s important to monitor brushing for children up to six years of age. For flossing, use flossettes for easy maneuvering and make it a regular habit. Our dental nurse will demonstrate proper brushing techniques to young kids using models to ensure they understand how to maintain good oral hygiene.
Are there any foods or activities I should avoid
For optimal oral health, it’s best to avoid frequent consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, as they can contribute to tooth decay. Acidic foods and drinks, like citrus fruits and carbonated beverages, can also erode tooth enamel over time. Additionally, activities such as smoking can increase the risk of gum disease and tooth discoloration.
