Which toothpaste should you use?2019-09-12T06:52:52+00:00

You should buy the toothpaste that contains fluoride while purchasing toothpaste for you or your child. Fluoride-containing toothpaste has been shown to prevent cavities. However, you must be cautious about the fact that you use only a very small amount for children under age 6. This is almost the size of their fingernail. The main reason behind this is that if too much fluoride goes inside the body of young children, which is very common as they often swallow toothpaste, there can be tooth discoloration in permanent teeth.

How long will my dental restoration last?2019-09-12T06:51:49+00:00

There is a misconception among general people that dental restorations are permanent, which is unfortunately not true.

You can try your best to make your fillings, bridges and crowns to last for a longer time, although you can’t make them last forever. In order to keep these restorations in great condition for as long as possible, you must visit your dentist regularly and maintain proper oral hygiene.

Everyone knows that cavities are bad, but a surprising amount of people don’t know exactly what cavities are. A cavity is simply a small hole in the tooth that develops as a result of tooth decay.
