Residue from acidic foods and sweets could stick to your teeth and cause cavities. On the other hand, chewing tobacco and smoking can lead to gum disease and oral cancer. Teeth are capable of ripping open boxes and chewing ice, yet doing so may wear them down and stress your jaws.

X-rays are used in many situations, and dental professionals study their usage and set restrictions. Our dentists may recommend X-rays when necessary. It is worth knowing that today’s digital X-rays produce far less radiation and are safer than previous versions because of technological advancements.

Examinations allow us to detect issues early, avoiding bigger and more costly treatments later. Our dentist will remove the buildup of plaque or tartar from your teeth. After that, they will use specialised instruments to examine areas around the gum line and on the surface. You could have sensitive and tender areas if it’s been a while since your appointments. Although you should visit our dentist every six months, you may have to go more frequently depending on what they recommend.
