Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up?
We suggest that you go to the dentist after 6 months so that you can get a routine checkup and cleaning. This assists in the early detection of problems and maintaining your teeth and gums in the best condition possible.
At what age should my child start seeing a dentist?
Your child should see a dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts. Early visits help familiarise children with the dental environment and promote lifelong good habits.
What is the best way to prevent tooth decay at home?
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing once a day, reducing sugary snacks, and drinking plenty of water are all excellent ways to maintain good oral health at home.
Is fluoride safe for my teeth?
Yes. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel. Our fluoride treatments are safe and recommended for both kids and adults.
Do I really need to floss every day?
Yes! Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between the teeth—areas your toothbrush can’t reach. Skipping flossing can lead to gum disease and tooth decay.
