Are dental X-rays safe, and how often should I have them done?

A dental crown involves reshaping the affected tooth, taking an impression or digital scan, and placing a custom-made crown over it. The process usually requires at least two visits to the dentist.
How can I address teeth grinding (bruxism)?
Teeth grinding can lead to tooth wear and jaw pain. Custom-made night guards from your dentist can protect your teeth during sleep. Stress-reducing exercises may also help.
How does charcoal toothpaste work?
Charcoal toothpaste claims to whiten teeth by absorbing surface stains. However, it is abrasive and may wear down enamel over time. It's important to consult your dentist before using any tooth-whitening products.
What are the benefits of using mouthwash, and which type is best for me?
Mouthwash can complement brushing and flossing by killing bacteria and freshening your breath. There are different types, such as fluoride mouthwashes for cavity prevention and antiseptic mouthwashes for gum health. Consult your dentist for personalized advice.
How can I manage dental anxiety or fear of dental procedures?
If you experience dental anxiety, talk to your dentist about it. Many offices offer sedation options and will work with you to ensure that you're as comfortable as possible during your visit.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
If a tooth is knocked out, immediately place it in a glass of milk or a saline solution and seek emergency dental care as soon as possible. The quicker you act, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
What is the proper technique for brushing and flossing?
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums and use short, gentle strokes. Floss gently between your teeth, curving the floss around each tooth and moving it up and down.
What is the best way to handle tooth sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity can often be managed by using desensitizing toothpaste and avoiding acidic or extremely hot/cold foods and beverages. Consult your dentist for a diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to your needs.
