Questions & Answers

How often do I need to brush my teeth?

The American Dental Association has recommended brushing three times daily to protect your teeth and gums. Flossing is an important part of your home hygiene regimen as well. Proper homecare and regular dental visits can help you avoid tooth decay and gum disease.

How often should I see my dentist?

Most patients need to see their dentist twice a year for a professional cleaning and exam. Patients with periodontal disease or other oral health issues may need to visit their dentist more frequently. Your dentist in Wayne, NJ can let you know how often you should come in for cleanings and exams.

I do not have any problems with my teeth. Why do I need to see a dentist?

Prevention is the first step to maintaining your oral health. Many dental problems begin small and are undetectable without a professional evaluation. Tooth decay and gum disease are two examples of issues that can easily be treated in the beginning stages, but they can advance and cause a lot of damage. Visit your Wayne dentist to detect and resolve problems early on.
