There are also ways to prevent cavities from forming in the first place.
1. Can my teeth be made whiter?
Yes! Teeth that are darkened from age, coffee, tea, or smoking can be whitened safely and quickly.
2. What causes tooth discoloration?
There are many causes. The most common include aging, consumption of staining substances (such as coffee, tea, tobacco, etc.), trauma, nerve degeneration, and old restorations.
During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.
3. Do I really need to floss?
Yes! Flossing cleans away the plaque from between your teeth and increases blood circulation in your gums. It also decreases your chance of having periodontal or gum disease.
4. How important are x-rays for a dental evaluation?
X-rays detect some dental conditions not visible at first sight. They can reveal the presence of small cavities between your teeth, infection in the bone, periodontal disease, abscesses, some types of tumors, and other problems affecting your health.
5. Do I need to have regular dental checkups?
Dental checkups every six months are important to monitor your oral health. Regular dental visits are vital to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other conditions affecting your oral health.
