FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How regular one needs to be for the dental check-ups?
Ideally, you need to get your dental check-up done every six months or at least once a year. This will allow you to identify your dental problems at their early stage and fix them before they become severe.
How often should I go for a dental cleaning?
Though it is recommended to go for dental cleaning every 9-12 months, the duration can vary depending on the extent of plaque formation and also, on your oral health. You dentist would be able to provide accurate information about it as he/she would be aware of your oral health and dental issues.
Is sensitivity after teeth cleaning normal?
Yes. As deep cleaning exposes the teeth area that otherwise was covered with plaque, it is normal to experience sensitivity after teeth cleaning. Your teeth take a while to adjust to this change and the sensitivity fades over time. Generally, dentists provide special gels to minimize sensitivity. So, it’s not a big issue.
Is it safe to get dental treatments done during pregnancy?
Though there are specific months of pregnancy when the treatments can be done safely, you are recommended to go for a preventive checkup so that the dental problems can be avoided during the pregnancy period. Moreover, it is better to consult your dentist immediately in case an issue arises.
Is there any way to prevent teeth problems?
Although it depends on a number of factors, you can take preventive measures which include brushing, flossing, professional cleaning and regular dental check-ups.
