Q:
How many times a day should I brush my teeth?
A: Most dental professionals suggest that
you brush your teeth at least twice daily. Brushing
after every meal and flossing once a day is a good
way to maintain your dental health.
Q: When should a child have his/her first
dental appointment?
A: A child should visit the dentist for
the first time no later than their third birthday.
Many dentists recommend that children visit the
dentist once their first tooth comes in.
Q: Who needs to have their wisdom teeth
removed?
A: Anyone who is in danger of developing
impacted wisdom teeth should have them removed
to prevent damage to adjacent molars or cause other
oral problems.
Q: Who needs dentures?
A: If you have lost most or all of your
teeth, dentures may be right for you. For those
with some natural teeth remaining, partial dentures
are recommended to improve chewing and speech.
