Oral health requires regular dental checkups. Dentistry can detect and treat potential abnormalities early, preventing them from worsening. They thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that cause tooth decay and gum disease.

It is suggested that you clean your teeth at least twice every day. Ideally, brush your teeth after meals and before going to bed using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. To achieve complete cleaning between teeth, floss at least once a day, ideally before bedtime.

Dental X-rays are safe and low-radiation. Lead aprons and high-speed film or digital X-rays lessen radiation exposure. X-rays’ diagnostic information usually outweighs their low danger.

Dental anxiety is widespread, but there are ways to deal. Tell your dentist about your fears so they can reassure you and clarify treatments. Sedation dentistry or relaxation treatments may help you relax during dental visits.

Your child should see the dentist by their first birthday or six months after their first tooth erupts. Early dental checkups promote good oral health, monitor growth, and advise parents on oral hygiene.
