How often should I visit the dentist?
It is recommended to visit the dentist every 6 months for a professional checkup and cleaning. This can help identify problems like cavities, gum disease, or tooth wear at an early stage, when treatment is easier and less expensive. However, if you have specific conditions, such as diabetes or periodontal disease, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
What toothbrush should I use?
Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush, as hard bristles can damage gums and wear down enamel. If you have tooth sensitivity or specific problems such as braces, there are toothbrushes designed especially for those needs. Electric toothbrushes are also recommended because they perform more effective movements than manual ones. Remember to change your toothbrush or brush head. every 3 months or earlier if the bristles are worn.
Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush my teeth?
No, it's not normal. Bleeding can be a symptom of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease caused by plaque buildup. If left untreated, it can progress to more serious periodontitis. Although it can occasionally occur from overly aggressive brushing, it's best to see your dentist to evaluate the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
How can I safely whiten my teeth?
The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is through professional treatment at the dentist's office. These procedures use supervised bleaching agents that protect the enamel. There are also dentist-recommended home kits. Avoid unproven home remedies, such as using baking soda or activated charcoal, as these can wear down your teeth and damage your gums.
What do I do if I have a toothache?
Toothaches can be caused by cavities, infections, extreme sensitivity, or gum problems. To temporarily relieve pain, you can take over-the-counter painkillers, avoid very hot or cold foods, and rinse with warm salt water. However, it is essential that you see your dentist as soon as possible to diagnose the cause and treat it at its root.
Is professional cleaning really necessary if I brush my teeth well?
Yes, because daily brushing and flossing does not completely remove plaque, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as under the gums or between the teeth. Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar, which only a dentist or hygienist can remove. Regular cleanings prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
What can I do to prevent cavities?
Preventing cavities starts with good oral hygiene: brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Limit sugary or acidic foods and drinks, as these encourage cavities. Also, make sure to keep up with regular checkups and consider preventative treatments, such as applying dental sealants or fluoride rinses if your dentist recommends them.
