Have a dental care-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information.
How can I prevent tooth decay?
Keeping your teeth clean is the best way to prevent tooth decay. Brush and floss after meals. If you are unable to brush or floss, even rinsing your mouth with water can remove loose food. Regular checkups with our family dentist in West Grove help catch cavities early.
Why are my gums bleeding?
Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease. Other symptoms include swollen gums, red or irritated gums, or teeth that appear longer. If these symptoms last more than a week, please call our West Grove office to schedule an exam.
What should I do if I chip my tooth?
First, rinse your mouth with warm salt water to remove food or blood and reduce the chance of infection. Then place a piece of gauze or a cool cloth in your mouth and press on the area that is bleeding. You can buy dental cement to temporarily cover the damaged area of the tooth, but it is better to get it treated as soon as you can. Our West Grove office offers emergency dental services with same-day appointments.
