A consultation allows us to assess your oral health, answer your questions, and explain the options, expected timeline and costs before treatment begins. The right approach depends on your individual needs.
Responses To Your Questions
Thoughtful answers to your dental care questions.
1What is the best way to maintain oral hygiene?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth, and attend dental check-ups at the interval recommended for your individual needs.
2Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
A dental assessment is needed before whitening. Your dentist checks tooth and gum health, sensitivity and existing restorations to explain whether it is suitable.
3What causes bad breath and how can I prevent it?
Bad breath can be related to plaque, gum disease, dry mouth or other causes. Daily brushing, tongue cleaning and cleaning between teeth may help. Persistent symptoms should be assessed.
4When should children first visit the dentist?
A first dental visit is generally recommended when the first tooth appears or by the first birthday. Early visits help establish preventive care.
5How often should I visit for a check-up?
The interval depends on your oral health and individual risk. Your dentist will recommend a schedule after examining your teeth and gums.
