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.

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.

Patients with tooth sensitivity feel pain when consuming hot or cold, sweet or acidic food or drink. Sensitivity happens 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 teeth grinding 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.
