This procedure is safe for adults and children and the more common reactions are discomfort rather than pain. It's best to floss before a dental appointment to ensure less build-up of food and gunk between teeth and gums. This will make your visit to the dentist go more smoothly and your dental health can be managed painlessly. Talk to your dentist or hygienist about how to apply a numbing gel to the teeth in advance, if you are worried about the sensitivity of your teeth.
In addition to basic scale and polish, dental hygienists are trained to provide more detailed gum disease treatment as well as fillings. We hope this information will help you decide on the right course of action for you. The professional scrub can turn your mood around and leave you with a gleaming smile!
Mouthwashes that claim to prevent cavities, discomfort, and bad breath may help if you brush your teeth and floss regularly. Our dentist will be able to suggest the best one for you. For some people, such as people with gum health issues or those with dry mouth, a toothpaste without alcohol is recommended. Younger children under the age of 6 shouldn't use mouthwash because there is a chance they might swallow it.
