Preventive Dentistry FAQs
How often should I brush?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth each day using a method suited to your teeth and gums.
Are sealants only for children?
Sealants are often used on children’s back teeth, but some adults may also benefit depending on tooth surfaces and decay risk.
Do I need a professional cleaning if I brush well?
Home care is essential, but hardened deposits cannot be removed by brushing alone. Your dental team recommends cleaning based on your needs.
Treatment is recommended following an individual assessment. Contact the clinic to confirm service and specialist availability.
