How Often Should I Visit A Dentist?

It would be best if you visited your dentist once in six months for a regular check-up and cleaning session. But if you have a history of gum disease or are undergoing orthodontic treatment, you will be required to see your dentist more frequently. Make sure you comply with those recommendations.

What Is Cavity?

We all know that cavity is not good for our teeth. But most people do not understand what a cavity is. If put in simple words, a cavity is when decay causes a hold in your tooth. The tooth structure from this hollow space is completely eaten up, and you must immediately get the cavity filled. Else, it can get bigger with time.

Is It Safe To Have An Dental X-Ray?
