FAQ

Frequently
asked
questions.

Buy toothbrushes with soft bristles. Medium and firm ones can damage teeth and gums. Use soft pressure, for 2 minutes, two times a day. Set a reminder to replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Toss it sooner if the bristles look bent or splayed out. Bent bristles don’t clean as well. (They’re also a sign you may be brushing too hard.) If cold or hot food or drinks make you cringe, pick a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

There’s no getting around the need to get around your teeth daily with dental floss. It clears food and plaque from between teeth and under the gumline. If you don’t, plaque hardens into calculus/ tartar, which forms wedges and widens the space between teeth and gums, causing pockets. Over time, gums pull away and teeth loosen.
Fluoride helps make teeth strong and prevents decay.
Sealants protect against cavities that can form in the natural tiny holes and cracks on the outside of teeth. Kids from about 6 to 12 benefit from having sealants painted and hardened onto the chewing surfaces of their back teeth, or molars. Adults can get sealants as well to protect teeth that don’t have fillings. Oral hygienists put sealants on in an office visit, and it’s painless. They can last many years dependant on various conditions.
Yes, sweets and foods with acid, like candy and soda, could stick to teeth and lead to cavities. Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause oral cancer and gum disease. While teeth are strong enough to chew ice and tear open packages, this can break them and stress your jaws. Gritting or grinding down on teeth when you’re stressed may crack them.
In office procedure – Provides a patient with immediate results as opposed to home whitening procedures that take longer to achieve the same result. Our Oral Hygienist prefers for patients to come in for a scale and polish (Dental cleaning) first so that she can assess your teeth and advise if tooth whitening is suitable and describe in depth each option available so that the patient can make an informed decision.

Extrinsic discoloration: This type of discoloration affects the outer surface of your teeth (enamel). Exposure to certain environmental factors — like some foods and beverages — causes extrinsically discolored teeth.
Intrinsic discoloration: This type of discoloration starts inside your tooth and affects your dentin (the layer underneath your enamel). Causes include dental trauma and certain medications.

Dark-colored foods and beverages. Things like coffee, tea, berries, red wine and soy sauce can stain your teeth over time.
Smoking and other tobacco use. Research indicates that tooth discoloration is more common among people who smoke compared to people who don’t.
Poor oral hygiene. Stains cling to dental plaque. If you don’t remove plaque with regular brushing and flossing, you’re more likely to develop discolored teeth.
Excessive fluoride. In appropriate quantities, fluoride is an excellent way to protect your teeth from cavities. However, people who consume high levels of fluoride during childhood may develop fluorosis — a condition that results in white spots on your tooth enamel.
