Any toothpaste that doesn’t contain abrasive agents. Any toothpaste that contains fluoride that can be used according to your teeth. Not required to take the full amount of toothpaste; instead, taking a peanut-sized amount of toothpaste is enough for your teeths.
No, that is not so if you have one back tooth that is missing, which is not there, or which has been removed earlier, so we can place a single implant in that back region also to get a good bite with which you can chew properly. So an implant is a solution for missing teeth even in the back reason as well as in the smile reason.
No, it’s not that. So even young patients who are in their twenties, who have completed their growth, and whose jaw is fully developed but who have one or two missing teeth because of, maybe, caries or some accident—these are the good candidates to get the dental implants done because when we replace the missing tooth early on, then it protects the entire dentition over a period of time. So age is not a criterion; if your growth is complete, dental implants can be done safely.
Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and stains that regular brushing can’t, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.
It’s recommended to get teeth cleaning done every six months for healthy gums and fresh breath.
No, teeth cleaning is usually painless. Some may feel mild sensitivity, which settles quickly.
A standard teeth cleaning session at Microdent Dentistry takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Avoid staining foods or drinks like coffee, tea, and tobacco for 24 hours and maintain good oral hygiene at home.
