Common Questions About General Dentistry
What is general dentistry?
Daily oral hygiene is essential to keeping your mouth clean and healthy. But as important as brushing and flossing are, they aren't enough on their own to protect your teeth and gums. General dentistry covers a wide range of treatments designed to help you prevent and detect dental problems, so you can keep your oral health on track.
Can I prevent cavities?
Brushing with a toothpaste that contains fluoride at least twice a day is essential in preventing cavities, as is daily flossing. Limiting the amount of sugary or highly acidic foods in your diet is also helpful. If you're unable to brush after meals, rinsing out your mouth with water is a good way to help wash away the food debris and bacteria that cause cavities. Ask your dental team about fluoride and sealants, two treatments that can make your teeth less cavity-prone.
What foods are healthy for my teeth?
Food healthy for your teeth includes those high in calcium and phosphorus, such as dairy products, leafy greens, and almonds. High-fiber foods like fruits and vegetables can help clean teeth and stimulate saliva production to help neutralize acids in the mouth. Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots can help scrape away plaque and massage gums. Finally, drinking plenty of water can help rinse away food particles and acids that can cause tooth decay.
