Frequently Asked Questions
A general dentist provides comprehensive oral healthcare, while specialists focus on specific areas like orthodontics or oral surgery. General dentists can handle most dental needs, but may refer patients to specialists for complex treatments.
It’s recommended to visit your dentist for a check-up and cleaning every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on your oral health condition.
Practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, using mouthwash, and avoiding sugary foods and drinks. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial.
Even if you don’t consciously grind your teeth, you might be clenching them, which can also cause damage. A night guard can protect your teeth from wear and tear.
Signs of oral cancer include persistent sores, white or red patches, numbness, difficulty chewing or swallowing, and unexplained bleeding in the mouth. If you notice any of these symptoms, consult your dentist immediately.
