Do you ever have questions about your smile, or how to best care for it, but feel too embarrassed to actually talk to your dentist about these pressing questions? If so, there is no time like the present to get over your embarrassment and to start getting the answers that you need. During your next dental checkup and cleaning, don’t be afraid to
ask your family dentist about any concerns you might have, as well as for any general information you might need. That said, there are plenty of helpful resources online, as well, that can help to address your many dental questions.
Can dramatic discoloration be fixed?
Even if your teeth have become severely stained, there are likely several treatment options that could help to improve the overall brightness of your smile. For instance, many patients are able to enjoy teeth lightened by several shades when they choose professional whitening treatment. For permanent discoloration, though, there is still hope. Both bonding and porcelain veneers can help to hide permanent staining. Can cavities be avoided?
Wondering if it’s really possible to avoid all dental cavities? While the vast majority of people will be diagnosed with dental caries, it is possible to prevent them. One must simply make healthy choices, like brushing and flossing daily, and eating a healthy diet that’s low in sugar. Seeing the dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings is also necessary, though, if you want to avoid a host of dental problems, including cavities.
Do I need to see the dentist when my smile is healthy?
Even if your smile seems incredibly healthy, it’s still important to schedule regular dental cleanings. These visits allow the dentist to remove any tartar buildup that has developed, often before it can lead to problems like cavities which would then require restorative dentistry.
