If you want a strong and successful oral health, it’s best to have a solid knowledge of dental care. If you think you know a lot about dental care in Madison, New Jersey, then our Family Dentistry team recommends testing your knowledge by taking this dental care quiz:
Question: How often should I visit my dentist?
Answer: It’s strongly recommended to visit your dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and checkup. This is vital for a healthy smile because these appointments involve the only treatment that will completely remove the plaque from your smile.
Question: How safe are dental X-Rays?
Answer: Because dental X-Rays only use a small amount of radiation, they are safe for your body, especially if you use a lead-lined, full-body apron that protects the body. Technology has improved exponentially over time so the X-Rays only focus on a small area of your mouth and require shorter exposure time.
Question: I’m scared of the dental office. What should I do?
Answer: Talk to your dentist and dental team about your dental concerns and anxiety. If your dental team knows about your fears, they will do all they can to accommodate you. It’s also beneficial to consider the use of sedation dentistry.
Question: What are dental sealants?
Answer: Dental sealants are small, natural-looking shells that cover the entire surface of your tooth and protect it from tooth decay and other dental issues. This treatment is generally meant to protect children’s teeth, but adults can take advantage of it as well if they don’t have any fillings and if they take good care of their teeth.
Question: What are common restorative treatments?
Answer: Some common treatments that can restore the health of your smile include dental crowns, dental bridges, dental implants, dental fillings, and dentures. These treatments can fix a dental issue or replace your missing teeth.
