FAQs
01. How often should I visit the dentist?
It is recommended to visit the dentist at least twice a year (every six months) for a routine check-up and professional cleaning. However, patients with specific dental concerns may need more frequent visits.
02. Does a dental check-up hurt?
No, a regular dental check-up is completely painless. If you require treatment, we use modern pain management techniques to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience.
03. How can I maintain good oral hygiene?
To keep your teeth healthy:
✅ Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
✅ Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.
✅ Limit sugary foods and drinks.
✅ Visit the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.
04. What is the best way to whiten my teeth?
The most effective and safe way to whiten teeth is professional teeth whitening at our clinic. We offer safe, high-quality treatments that brighten your smile without damaging your enamel.
05. Are dental fillings permanent?
Dental fillings are long-lasting, but they may need replacement over time. With good oral care, a filling can last 10 years or more.
06. How do I know if I need a tooth extraction?
A tooth extraction may be necessary if you have:
🔹 Severe decay or damage beyond repair.
🔹 Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or infection.
🔹 Overcrowded teeth requiring orthodontic treatment.
🔹 Severe gum disease causing tooth loosening.
07. How long does it take to recover from a tooth extraction?
Most patients recover within a few days, but complete healing may take 1-2 weeks. Follow our post-extraction care guidelines to speed up healing.
08. What are braces, and do they hurt?
Braces help align and straighten teeth. There may be mild discomfort in the first few days after placement or adjustment, but it is temporary. We offer comfortable and effective orthodontic treatments for all ages.
09. How long does a root canal treatment take?
A root canal procedure usually takes one to two visits, depending on the severity of the infection. It is a painless procedure that helps save your natural tooth.
10. What is the difference between dentures, bridges, and dental implants?
🔹 Dentures – Removable false teeth that replace missing teeth.
🔹 Bridges – Fixed prosthetics that fill gaps by anchoring onto existing teeth.
🔹 Dental Implants – Permanent, natural-looking replacements anchored into the jawbone.
11. Is scaling and polishing necessary?
Yes! Scaling and polishing remove tartar, plaque, and stains that brushing alone cannot. It helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.
