Frequently Asked Questions

How can I have better oral health?

To maintain better oral health, it's essential to establish a consistent oral hygiene routine. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily to remove plaque and food debris between teeth, and use an antimicrobial mouthwash to further reduce bacteria. Additionally, maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins while limiting sugary and acidic foods and drinks. Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months to detect and address any issues early. Avoid tobacco use, as it can lead to gum disease and oral cancer. Lastly, wear protective gear during sports and other physical activities to prevent dental injuries. By following these practices, you can significantly improve your oral health and maintain a bright, healthy smile for years to come.

Should I be concerned that my gums are bleeding when I brush?

Yes, bleeding gums when brushing can indicate an underlying issue such as gum disease or gingivitis. It's essential not to ignore this symptom, as untreated gum disease can lead to more severe complications, including tooth loss and systemic health problems. However, bleeding gums can also be caused by more mundane factors like aggressive brushing or using a toothbrush with hard bristles. To address this concern, practice gentle brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, and schedule a dental checkup to determine the cause of the bleeding and receive appropriate treatment. Early intervention is key to maintaining healthy gums and preventing further oral health issues.

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity is often caused by exposed dentin, the inner layer of the tooth containing microscopic tubules that lead to the tooth's nerve center, called the pulp. When dentin becomes exposed due to factors like enamel erosion, gum recession, or tooth decay, it can result in sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and beverages. Other potential causes of tooth sensitivity include tooth grinding (bruxism), aggressive brushing, dental procedures like teeth whitening or dental restorations, and gum disease. Treating tooth sensitivity typically involves addressing the underlying cause, such as using desensitizing toothpaste, practicing proper oral hygiene, wearing a night guard for bruxism, or receiving dental treatments to restore enamel or treat gum disease.

Are dental X-rays safe for my teeth?

Yes, dental X-rays are considered safe for your teeth when performed with appropriate precautions. While dental X-rays do emit a small amount of radiation, the exposure levels are extremely low and well within safety guidelines established by regulatory bodies such as the American Dental Association (ADA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The benefits of dental X-rays, such as detecting cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues that may not be visible during a visual examination, generally outweigh the minimal risks associated with radiation exposure. Additionally, modern X-ray equipment and techniques further minimize radiation exposure, and lead aprons and thyroid collars are often used to shield other parts of the body during the procedure. Nevertheless, your dentist will consider factors such as your age, dental history, and specific oral health needs when determining the frequency and type of dental X-rays recommended for you.
