Importance of Cleaning and Prevention

Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially when it comes to your smile."

To keep your teeth and gums healthy, you can:

Brush your teeth: Brush twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Floss: Floss at least once a day to remove plaque from between your teeth and on your gums.
See the dentist: Visit the dentist for regular checkups and professional cleanings, ideally every six months.
Eat a healthy diet: Eat healthy foods and avoid sweets and sweetened drinks.
Don't smoke: Smoking increases your risk of teeth and gum problems.
Take care of appliances: Keep dentures or retainers clean by brushing and soaking them regularly.
Chew sugar-free gum: This can help with dry mouth and protect against cavities.

Dental X-Ray

A dental x-ray, also known as a radiograph, is a painless image of your teeth and jaw that helps dentists diagnose dental issues. X-rays are a form of high-energy radiation that can penetrate the body and create an image on film or a screen.

How they work

Dense structures like teeth and bones appear white, while less dense structures like muscles and nerves appear as shades of gray.

How often to get them

Frequency depends on your age, oral health, and risk of disease. Children and adults with extensive restorative work may need them more often.

Safety

Modern technology uses minimal radiation, and a protective apron further reduces exposure.

Advanced Digital Radiography

X-rays help dentists see structures they can't during a regular exam, like your jawbone, sinuses, nerves, and teeth roots. This helps them detect problems early and provide proper treatment.
