Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most important things I can do at home to prevent dental problems?

The foundation of good oral health at home includes brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. 1 At Omnipark Dental Centre, we can provide personalized guidance on the best techniques and products for your needs.

How does my diet affect my oral health?

Your diet plays a significant role in preventing dental problems. Sugary and acidic foods and drinks can contribute to tooth decay. We advise our patients at Omnipark Dental Centre to limit their intake of these items and to choose a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for optimal oral health.

How often should I visit Omnipark Dental Centre for check-ups and cleanings?

For most patients, we recommend routine check-ups and professional cleanings every six months. These regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health, detect any early signs of problems, and remove plaque and tartar buildup that you can’t remove at home. Your dentist or hygienist may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs.

What is the best way to brush my teeth to prevent cavities and gum disease?

We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and brushing gently in circular motions, ensuring you reach all surfaces of your teeth. Don’t forget to brush your tongue as well to remove bacteria. Avoid brushing too hard, as this can damage your gums. Our team at Omnipark Dental Centre can demonstrate proper brushing techniques during your visit.

Are there any other preventive measures I should consider?

Yes, besides brushing, flossing, and a healthy diet, other preventive measures include:
* Using fluoride toothpaste: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay.
* Considering dental sealants: These thin coatings can be applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to protect them from decay.
* Wearing a mouthguard: If you participate in sports, a custom-fitted mouthguard can protect your teeth from injury.
* Quitting smoking: Smoking significantly increases your risk of gum disease and other oral health problems.

We can discuss these and other personalized preventive strategies with you at your next appointment at Omnipark Dental Centre.
