Common Questions About Our Services

Dental experts recommend professional cleanings twice a year for those with good oral hygiene. Individuals with higher plaque buildup may need more frequent visits. Regular cleanings prevent bacteria buildup, which can lead to tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.

Brush twice daily for 2-3 minutes using fluoride toothpaste. Daily flossing is very important and mouthwash use is also recommended. Stay hydrated and limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks. Avoid smoking and other tobacco products.

Flossing removes food particles and bacteria that your toothbrush can’t reach, especially between teeth and along the gum line. This helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, either manual or electric. Choose fluoride toothpaste to help prevent cavities.

Avoid acidic foods and beverages, and wait at least an hour after eating before brushing your teeth. If you grind your teeth at night, please check with us for proper treatment and care. Be sure to discuss your sensitivity when you’re in for a visit here at Azure Dental for additional treatment and advice.

At Azure Dental, new patients receive a thorough examination. Our dentists will review your medical and dental history, address any concerns, and take necessary X-rays. You might also receive recommended treatments during the same appointment.

Maintain good dental hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash. Avoid acidic and sugary foods and drinks, and refrain from using tobacco products.

Whitening toothpaste removes surface stains but does not affect deeper stains or change the natural color of your teeth. Frequent use may wear down enamel. For better results, discuss your interest in teeth whitening with our staff to learn more about our professional whitening options.

Bleeding gums often result from inadequate brushing and plaque buildup at the gum line, which can lead to gum disease or gingivitis if untreated.
