Good oral hygiene keeps your mouth and teeth clean which prevents bad odour, dental problems and diseases.

Plaque is the most common and easily accumulated bacteria on teeth. Sugary and starchy foods mainly cause plaque but so is the failure to brush your teeth and floss religiously. If plaque stays on teeth for a long time, it may cause tooth decay and gum problems. Untreated gum problems can cause further damage by destroying the bone around the teeth making it lose.

Brushing the teeth twice a day and flossing once a day are classic but still the most effective ways to prevent plaque formation. Make sure to choose soft-bristled brushes that fit your mouth correctly to be able to reach all areas. Also, opt for toothpaste that is antimicrobial and contains fluoride. People usually tend to skip flossing because of time constraints and laziness but it should not be the case. Floss at least once a day to remove particles between your teeth that your toothbrush failed to remove. You may also practice rinsing with mouthwash to increase protection from germs.

This is also called professional teeth cleaning. Oral prophylaxis is the basic step to making your teeth healthy. This procedure removes stuck elements in between your teeth that can’t be accomplished by normal tooth brushing. To keep your teeth healthy and avoid deterioration, you must undergo oral prophylaxis twice a year or every six months. For further protection and maintenance, we will also recommend at-home oral hygiene ways and preventive treatments as needed.

Having a wisdom tooth doesn’t automatically mean that you should go to your dentist and have it removed. We at Dental Concepts always make it a point to study your case first, before recommending any extraction.

Unrestorable teeth are usually the ones being extracted. These teeth couldn’t be restored because of several causes like tooth decay, periodontal disease, dental trauma or because they are impacted. Some are extracted to create space when teeth become too crowded.

This procedure treats infections formed at the root canal system of the mouth. This usually involves two or more visits to your dentist where the infected pulp is removed, and the root canal cleaned and filled.
