What to Expect During Your Visit

But don’t worry – it won’t hurt! They’ll also polish your teeth to give them a sparkling finish. Afterward, Dr. Mehta will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to check for any signs of trouble. He’ll also take X-rays if needed to get a complete picture of your oral health before walking you through his findings.

Keeping Up With Your Dental Hygiene

We know, we know – keeping up with brushing and flossing is the advice you always hear from your dentist. But it’s only because it’s the most necessary habit to keep your oral hygiene on track! Here are some other tips you can use to keep your smile shining between visits:

• Brush twice a day: Make use of a fluoride toothpaste and brush for at least two minutes.
• Floss daily: Flossing is what reaches those hard-to-reach places that your toothbrush can’t - making it a must!
• Mouthwash magic: Swishing with mouthwash can help kill off more bacteria, making it a useful step to add to your routine.
• Watch what you eat: Sugary and acidic foods harm your teeth. Try your best to avoid temptation and enjoy them in moderation!
