Questions
How can I improve my oral health at home?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, use an electric toothbrush, replace it every 3-4 months, and maintain regular dental checkups.
What's the difference between routine and deep cleaning?
Routine cleaning prevents issues by removing surface plaque, while deep cleaning treats gum disease by cleaning below the gumline and smoothing roots.
How do I know if I have gum disease?
Look for red/swollen gums, bleeding when brushing, bad breath, receding gums, or loose teeth. Regular checkups help detect early signs.
What should I do for a dental emergency after hours?
Call our office for guidance. For severe trauma, go to the ER. We offer post-procedure follow-up and urgent care when possible.
Is an electric toothbrush better than manual?
Electric brushes benefit those with dexterity issues, but manual brushes work well with proper technique. Both require consistent use and replacement.
