FAQ

Dental health varies from person to person; a general rule of thumb for adult patients is a visit once or twice a year, even if you don't experience pain, embarrassment or other tooth-related problems. This way, you can have your teeth professionally cleaned regularly and maintain excellent oral health.

In addition to daily brushing and flossing, we can take dental hygiene to the next level by following a few steps for good dental health. These include: - Using dental hygiene products with fluoride. - Limiting high-sugar snacks. - Eating a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables. - Avoiding tobacco in any form.

A beautiful smile with clean, white teeth is a huge boost to self-confidence. Most people experience some tooth discoloration over the years, either from surface or internal stains. You can 'treat' stains caused by coffee, wine, tobacco and pigmented foods with at-home whitening or have regular professional teeth whitening at CriniDent dental clinic in Craiova. For internal discoloration, consider dental veneers, which are a minimally-invasive permanent solution.

The best way to ensure a healthy mouth is to follow a balanced diet and visit your dentist regularly, while maintaining your oral care routine of brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. Protect yourself against problems that can advance quickly by discussing these questions with your dentist.

Dental X-rays help your doctor to monitor any changes that might be happening to your teeth between visits, structural changes that can't be seen with the naked eye, or changes inside your teeth. Most adult patients would need an annual X-ray and a panoramic X-ray at least every 4 to 5 years. Higher risk patients may need x-rays every 6 to 18 months, depending on their dental status.

Patients with tooth sensitivity feel pain when consuming hot or cold, sweet or acidic food or drink. Sensitivity occurs when tooth enamel, which usually protects the pulp and dentin of the tooth, is thinned by repeated exposure to acidity and extreme temperatures. Sensitivity can occur: - When receding gums. - As a result of hugging teeth during sleep (bruxism). - Crushed or fractured teeth. - Following teeth whitening procedures. - With orthodontic procedures. - After having fillings. Talk to your dentist when tooth sensitivity occurs! They will examine your affected teeth and recommend treatment to reduce your sensitivity.

Dental implants are the ideal way to replace missing or loose teeth. Implants are permanent and serve as an excellent alternative to dentures for anyone with an otherwise healthy mouth and jaw. Most adult patients are good candidates for dental implants because they can help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting or loosening.

It depends - there are different types of mouthwash. Cosmetic mouthwashes are intended to freshen breath and maintain a healthy tooth color, but they also contain fluoride to help fight cavities. Therapeutic mouthwashes work to help treat conditions such as gingivitis, tooth sensitivity and inflammation. For more advanced conditions, prescription mouthwashes often contain chlorhexidine gluconate to kill the bacteria that cause bleeding, inflammation and plaque or biofilm formation.

Children can develop their first cavities as early as two years of age, so it is recommended that the first visit to the dentist should be made as soon as the first tooth appears. This helps your dentist to identify early on potential problems that may affect your child's dental health and overall health.
