GENERAL DENTISTRY TREATMENT RICHMOND HILL

According to a study done by the American Dental Association, regular dental check-ups are essential in preventing serious health problems. The early detection of cavities and other oral health issues can help to prevent more serious issues such as infections or tooth decay.

General dentistry services help to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and periodontal diseases.

Regular visits help detect any early signs of dental problems and initiate appropriate treatment to protect against further damage.

Routine cleanings also help remove plaque buildup that can lead to tooth decay, as well as bad breath.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is a filling?

    A filling is a dental procedure used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage caused by cavities. During the procedure, your dentist will remove any decayed tissue and then fill the area with a material such as amalgam, gold, porcelain or composite resin. Fillings help restore the strength and functionality of the tooth, and in many cases can be used to stop the spread of decay. 

  • Do I need to floss every day?

    Yes, flossing is an essential part of your oral hygiene routine. Flossing helps to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and below the gumline, which brushing alone cannot do. Not only can this help prevent cavities, but it also helps keep your breath fresh and reduce the risk of gum disease. It is recommended that you floss at least once a day for optimal results. 

  • How can I prevent cavities?

    The best way to prevent cavities is to practice good oral hygiene. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing every day. You should also minimize the amount of sugary foods and drinks you consume, as these are primary sources of cavities. Additionally, it is important to visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups, as this allows them to identify and address any potential issues before they become more serious. Finally, using a sealant or fluoride treatment may help protect your teeth from cavities. 

  • How often should I visit the dentist?

    It is recommended that you visit your dentist at least twice a year for a routine cleaning and checkup. During these visits, the dentist and hygienist can identify any signs of decay or other oral health issues early and provide treatment before they become more serious. Depending on your individual needs, your dentist may recommend more frequent appointments.
