Regular dental visits are crucial for maintaining your oral health. Seeing your dentist twice a year allows for early detection and treatment of potential issues like decay. This preventative approach can help preserve your smile and minimize future dental expenses.
It's recommended to schedule your child's first dental visit around their first birthday. Early appointments help them become comfortable with the dentist and allow for early monitoring of their dental health.
To keep your family's smiles healthy, brush and floss daily. Brush after each meal and before bedtime, and don't forget to brush your tongue to keep your breath fresh and reduce bacteria. Avoid sugary foods and drinks when you can't brush right away, and ensure regular dental check-ups.
It's advisable to replace your toothbrush every three months. For electric toothbrushes, follow the manufacturer's guidelines. After recovering from an illness, switch to a new toothbrush, and always rinse it with hot water after use.

A cavity is a small hole in a tooth caused by plaque and decay. Early detection is key to preventing severe decay, infection, and potential tooth loss. Regular check-ups help catch cavities before they become serious problems.
A filling is a material used to repair a tooth with a cavity. The dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth and fills the cavity to restore its function. Fillings can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as fixing chipped or misshapen teeth, and are matched to the natural color of your teeth for a seamless appearance.
