Do crowned teeth still need cleaning?+
Yes. A crown covers a tooth, but plaque can still build up around it and affect the gums and the tooth underneath. Cleaning and daily care remain important.
Do you check work that another clinic did?+
An examination looks at the dental work you already have, wherever it was placed. Letting us know where it was done can help if earlier records would be useful.
How often should I come in if I have a lot of dental work?+
Braces and complex work are among the reasons someone may need more frequent care, although your own interval will be based on your overall oral health.
Food keeps catching beside my bridge. Is this worth mentioning?+
Absolutely, as food trapping is one of the concerns patients are encouraged to raise. Your dentist can look at the area, and your hygienist can suggest ways to keep it clean.
Will old fillings have to be replaced?+
Not simply because they are old. Your dentist considers how each one looks and whether there is any reason for concern, then explains whether to monitor or treat it.
