02. Why should I see a dentist on a regular basis?
Seeing your dentist on a regular basis is essential because they help in keeping your teeth and gums healthy. During these visits, we will check your overall oral health for any problems along with cleaning and polishing your teeth - removing any plaque and tartar buildup.
03. Why are regular dental assessments so important?
Regular dental assessments or checkups are important because they help detect any dental issues that can potentially become a problem. We will detect any warning signs of gum disease, tooth decay, or even oral cancer.

There are different telltale signs that your teeth are healthy. These signs include: no bad breath, a healthy looking tongue, strong teeth that are not excessively sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. Your dentist will look at these as part of their assessment.

02. Why is it important to floss my teeth?
Cleaning between your teeth removes plaque that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Flossing your teeth allows you to reach areas where your toothbrush can’t reach.
03. How can I improve my oral hygiene?
To improve your oral hygiene, make sure that you brush and floss your teeth regularly. Technique is also important, your dentist will help show you this. Regular visits are also important to detect any warning signs of cavities, gum disease and other dental problems.

Smoking makes it hard for your body to fight off infection. This makes it hard to fight off gum infections. Once you have gum infections, smoking makes it also hard to treat gum disease. Untreated gum disease can lead to bone loss which leads to loosening of teeth.
