Visit a dentist if you have any of these issues or see your child having trouble chewing or complaining of soreness:

• Mouth sores
• Jaw pain
• Redness
• Swollen face or gums
• Tooth sensitivity
• Broken teeth
• Dry mouth
• Bleeding gums
• Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth

Getting checked out right away prevents more serious problems and infections.               

Regular exams help spot trouble early to prevent bigger and more costly treatments later.

A dental hygienist will start by cleaning buildup from your teeth. Then the dentist will probe spots on the surfaces and near the gum line with special tools. 

I have sensitive teeth, what can I do? 

 You can try using a toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth. Brush your teeth as normal using desensitizing and then rub a little toothpaste into the sensitive area when going to bed as it helps protect the surface.

Try to avoid strongly acidic foods and drinks and wait at least an hour after eating before brushing as this could cause even more sensitivity. Grinding your teeth can also increase sensitivity and a mouth guard maybe necessary.

If the pain continues, speak to your dental team and they may be able to offer further care to reduce your symptoms. A number of things can cause sensitivity and your dental team will be able to identify these and advise the correct care.

Do I have to floss? 

Yes, you should definitely floss as it helps reduce the bacteria in your mouth. The bacteria feeds on the food particles left in between your teeth. It can be removed if you floss as instructed by your dentist. In the event that you do not floss, the plaque will stay in between your teeth. After a while, once it becomes hard, it turns into tartar. If this happens, only the dentist will be able to remove the tartar.

If I have my teeth whitened, how long will it last for? 

The time frame will vary based on your lifestyle. Usually, teeth whitening can last for at least a couple of years if you maintain good oral hygiene practices.

When purchasing toothpaste, always be sure to select one that contains fluoride. Toothpastes that contain fluoride have been shown to prevent cavities. We also suggest using a product that is approved by the American Dental Association which means the product has met the ADA criteria for safety and effectiveness. When considering other properties of toothpaste, such as gum care or whitening, be sure to ask your dental hygienist or dentist what they would recommend to use regarding your concerns. Lastly, be sure to choose the toothpaste that feels best and works best for you. If you have any questions or concerns regarding toothpaste, be sure to ask your dental hygienist and dentist immediately.

The dosage of X-ray radiation received at  dental office is typically very small (around 0.150 mSv for full mouth series, according to the American Dental Association website). Dental X-rays are very safe.

Your mouth contains many forms of bacteria, both good and bad. Having bacteria in your mouth is normal, but certain types of bacteria can attach themselves to hard surfaces like the enamel that covers your teeth. If not removed, the bacteria multiplies until a colony forms. Proteins in your saliva also mix in and the bacteria colony becomes a whitish film on the tooth, known as plaque. This is what causes cavities.

Many issues affecting the teeth and surrounding tissues are not visible during a physical examination. The general dentist may perform X-rays to see bone infections, gum disease, decay between the teeth or under dental restorations, abscesses or cysts, certain tumors and developmental issues. Detecting and treating dental problems early can save money, time and unnecessary discomfort.
