Common Questions About General Dentistry
What is general dentistry?
General dentistry encompasses several services designed to maintain an attractive smile and optimal oral health, including dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment and preventive services like fluoride treatments or dental sealants. Routine dental care goes a long way toward keeping your smile in its best possible shape.
What foods are healthy for my teeth?
Foods that are beneficial to both your body and teeth tend to work in tandem. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and calcium-rich foods like cheese. With their high water and fiber content, many fruits and veggies act almost like toothbrushes to remove plaque from teeth. Nuts provide another great snack option as their minerals strengthen tooth enamel making it more resistant against cavities.
How do I prevent cavities?
Brushing with fluoride-containing toothpaste at least two times each day and flossing daily are crucial steps towards avoiding cavities, along with limiting sugary or highly acidic food consumption and eliminating leftover debris in your mouth with water rinses after meals; otherwise rinsing will wash away debris that leads to cavities and keep food debris at bay. Talk with your dental team about using fluoride treatments such as sealants to lessen your chance of cavities altogether.
