How to Treat Your Teeth with Respect
Discovering Weak Spots in Your Oral Health
Everyone’s teeth are different, and have a wide range of needs. What works for your friend or family member might not have the same impact on your enamel. This is just one reason why personalized guidance is key. Your dentist knows what’s best for your smile, and wants to help you achieve lifelong oral health. Make sure to ask specific questions at your next exam that will help you get action-oriented tips. Some great queries include:
- Should I be using a different toothbrush or toothpaste?
- Should I use a mouthwash?
- Would I benefit from fluoride treatment?
- What areas of my mouth am I missing during oral hygiene?
- Am I grinding my teeth and do I need a night guard?
- Am I at risk of gum disease?
