2 Frequently Asked Questions In The Dental Office
Here are the two most frequently asked questions by dental patients:
1. I always brush my teeth twice a day and floss once a day. Do I still need to see my dentist for routine cleanings and check ups?
Though you are doing a great job by keeping your teeth clean, it is important that you must see the dentist. Here are the reasons for it:
• To remove the hard tartar also called calculus that cannot be removed by brushing at home.
• To remove the tea, coffee and food stains from teeth.
• So that most of the dental problems can be caught at the earlier stage before you get any symptom.
• For precancerous screening of oral cavity.
• To provide fluoride treatment for younger patients.
2. How often do I need to get routine dental checkups and cleanings?
According to American Dental Association (ADA) it should be done twice a year. However, in certain circumstances like you have history of bleeding gums, periodontal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or bad teeth caused by smoking, then routine checkups are recommended every 3-4 months.
