X-rays help your dentist see the jaw bone, the roots of the teeth, or teeth that have not yet erupted, as well as the contact areas between the teeth. In some cases, X-rays can reveal a condition at an early stage, when it is easier to treat.
Dental sealants are a highly effective way to prevent tooth decay on back molars. Fluoride in toothpaste and drinking water help to protect the smooth surface of teeth, however, your back teeth need extra protection.
Flossing is an important oral hygiene habit. It cleans and dislodges food stuck between your teeth, which reduces the amount of bacteria and plaque in your mouth. Plaque is a sticky film that builds up on teeth and contributes to cavities and gum disease.
Brushing your teeth every day isn’t just a way to keep your mouth feeling clean. It’s a way to keep your whole body healthy, too. The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice per day, for 2 minutes each time.
Plaque is a soft, sticky film with bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. It can cause tooth decay and gum disease.
Plaque bacteria found on your tooth surfaces feed on the sugars in your food and drinks. They turn the sugar into acids. These acids attack the hard surfaces of your teeth (enamel) for up to 20 minutes after you are finished eating/drinking.
