Answers to Common Questions About Care, Visits, and More

If you maintain proper oral care, Dr. Dragana Strizak advises having your teeth cleaned twice a year. People who brush and floss less frequently are likely to require more dental examinations and treatments.

Twice daily, brush your teeth for two to three minutes at a time using toothpaste that contains fluoride. Use floss, gargles, and mouthwash every day. Drink plenty of water and stay away from acidic and sugary foods and drinks. Avoid smoking tobacco products, including cigarettes.

The bacteria that cause gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath cannot be eliminated by brushing alone. Food particles that are difficult for your toothbrush to reach between teeth and along the gum line can be removed by flossing. Without these food particles, bacteria would have nothing to eat.

We recommend using soft-bristled electric or manual toothbrushes. There are currently a lot of toothpaste products available. However, those with fluoride, which helps prevent cavities, are the best.

The best defense against cavities is to maintain good oral hygiene, which includes using mouthwash, brushing twice a day, and flossing at least once a day. It’s also recommended to stay away from all tobacco products and sugary and acidic foods and drinks.

Early signs of dental issues include gum swelling and bleeding, tooth discomfort, and tooth sensitivity. Please get in touch with our dental office immediately if you have any of these symptoms.

You should visit your child to see Dr. Strizak as soon as possible after their first tooth erupts, which usually happens around six months of age. We highly recommend practicing proper oral hygiene. D-Dental offers high-quality pediatric dental care in Denver.

Dental X-rays are safe and necessary for the detection of cavities and gum disease. Additionally, they help identify additional diseases that are hard to find by just looking within the mouth.
