Common Questions About General Dentistry
What is general dentistry?
Maintaining a beautiful smile and optimal oral health is the primary goal of general dentistry. We offer several services to achieve this, including dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive treatments like fluoride application and dental sealants, and custom-made mouthguards for athletes or teeth grinders. Regular dental care is crucial in preserving the health and beauty of your smile.
What foods are healthy for my teeth?
Foods that are good for your body also tend to be good for your teeth. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and calcium-rich foods like cheese. With their high water and fiber content, some fruits and veggies work almost like a toothbrush to clean plaque from teeth. Nuts are a great snack, as they contain minerals that help strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to cavities.
Is chewing gum bad for teeth?
Chewing sugar-free gum can actually be good for your teeth! It stimulates saliva flow, which helps neutralize harmful acids and wash away food particles. Remember, though, gum with sugar can contribute to tooth decay. To protect your oral health, opt for sugar-free gum. Look for one sweetened with xylitol, a natural sugar substitute that can actually help prevent cavities. Gum should never replace brushing and flossing, but it can be a helpful addition to your oral hygiene routine.
