Answer Key
- True. Any sudden discomfort in your teeth means something has changed. Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures or a chronic toothache may signal the presence of decay or even infection. To prevent a problem from progressing or leading to the loss of a tooth, always see your dentist when you first notice discomfort.
- True. How often do you brush or floss? In order to keep your smile healthy you need to brush twice a day for two minutes per session. You also need to floss on either side of every tooth before going to bed at night. In addition, you need to be aware of what you eat and drink. Foods and drinks high in sugar and other starches can increase the risk of developing tooth decay and other oral health issues.
- True. To find out how healthy your smile is simply schedule a visit. We can perform a checkup using digital x-rays and intraoral cameras to gather a clear and precise picture of your oral health. In order to remove plaque and reduce the chances of developing cavities or gum disease we can also perform a thorough dental cleaning.
- True. If you have stained or damaged teeth, we can address these issues with cosmetic dentistry. Call today for a free cosmetic consultation.
