Question 4

What type of toothbrush should I use?

Accepted Answer

The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums.

Question 5

Is one toothpaste better than others?

Accepted Answer

Generally, no. However, it is advisable to use a fluoride containing toothpaste to decrease the incidence of dental decay.

Question 6

How often should I floss?

Accepted Answer

Flossing of the teeth once per day helps to prevent cavities from forming between the teeth where your toothbrush cannot reach. Flossing also helps to keep your gums healthy.

Question 7

What is the difference between a crown and a cap?

Accepted Answer

These are restorations to repair a severely broken tooth by covering all or most of the tooth after removing old fillings, fractured tooth structure and all decay.

Question 8

What is the difference between a bridge and a partial denture?

Accepted Answer

Both bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth. A bridge is permanently attached to the teeth or, in some cases, implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to the teeth and is easily removed by the patient.

Question 9

Do I need to have a root canal just because I have a crown?

Accepted Answer

No. While most teeth which have had root canal treatments do need crowns to strengthen the teeth and to return the teeth to normal form and function, not every tooth needing a crown needs to have a root canal.
