FAQ
It is generally recommended to visit the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. Regular visits help in the early detection of potential issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, ensuring that your oral health is maintained. However, your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your specific dental needs, such as more frequent visits if you have a history of gum disease or other dental concerns.
If you experience a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or dental injury, contact your dentist immediately. Many dental practices have emergency contact numbers or after-hours services to address urgent issues. If you're unable to reach your dentist, visit the nearest emergency room for immediate care, especially if there’s significant pain, bleeding, or facial swelling.
Teeth whitening is generally safe when performed by a dentist or using dentist-recommended products. Professional whitening treatments can effectively brighten your smile with minimal risks, though some patients may experience temporary sensitivity. The results of teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle factors such as diet and smoking. Regular touch-ups may be needed to maintain the desired brightness.
