How often should I visit the dentist?
Unless otherwise advised, it is recommended to visit your dentist every 6 months for routine check-ups and cleaning.
Why does root canal treatment sometimes take a long time?
Treatment duration can vary from patient to patient due to factors such as active infection in the tooth, a narrow or curved canal structure, old fillings or blockages, and difficulty in saving the tooth.
Can implants be applied to every patient?
No. Implants may not be necessary for every patient; preserving the natural tooth is always the priority. The decision is made by evaluating the patient's bone structure, gum health, and overall health condition.
What happens if gum disease is left untreated?
Untreated gum inflammation can, over time, lead to gum recession, followed by bone loss, bad breath, and eventually tooth loss in advanced stages.
Who is clear aligner (Invisalign) treatment suitable for?
It is effective for mild, moderate, and many advanced crowding cases, for closing gaps between teeth, and for mild-to-moderate open or deep bite cases. It is especially popular among adults who prefer not to have the look of metal wires.
When should pediatric dental treatment start for my child?
Regular check-ups from an early age are important for preventing cavities, supporting jaw development, and reducing fear of the dentist.
