Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of toothbrush should I use?
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head to clean thoroughly and protect your gums. Harder brushes can cause irritation and gum recession. Brush gently twice a day and visit your dentist twice a year for professional cleanings.
Do I need to have a root canal just because I have to have a crown?
No. A crown restores and protects a damaged tooth, but root canal treatment is only needed if the tooth’s nerve is infected or severely damaged. Your dentist will evaluate each case individually.
What about silver fillings versus white fillings?
White composite fillings bond to your teeth, look natural, and can strengthen weakened areas. Silver fillings are still safe, but composites are often chosen for their appearance and performance.
Is one toothpaste better than others?
Most toothpaste works equally well as long as it contains fluoride, which helps prevent cavities. Choose a brand and flavor you like so that brushing stays consistent and enjoyable.
What’s the difference between a bridge and a partial denture?
Both replace missing teeth, but a bridge is fixed in place while a partial denture is removable. Bridges feel more natural and are often preferred for comfort and convenience.
How often should I floss?
Floss once a day to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach. Daily flossing keeps your gums healthy and reduces the risk of decay.
What’s the difference between a crown and a cap?
Both terms refer to the same restoration. Dentists use “crown,” while patients often say “cap.” Crowns cover and protect damaged teeth using materials like porcelain, gold, or composite.
