What is dental health?

Caring for your teeth includes thorough cleaning a few times a day and getting them checked regularly throughout your whole life. Your first dental visit will probably include an exam, x-rays and cleaning. You may have to see a dental specialist such as an orthodontist if your teeth need straightening…or a dental surgeon, if you need extractions. You can avoid additional visits to the dentist by preventing tooth decay and gum disease: eat a balanced diet and brush and floss your teeth daily.
