Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I play lots of sports. How can I take better care of my teeth?

A. Each year about 200,000 mouth and jaw injuries occur. We recommend that you use mouth guards in every sport. These are effective in moving the soft tissue in your oral cavity away from your teeth, thus preventing any cuts and bruising to happen in the lips and cheeks. Mouth guards are very useful especially for people wearing braces.

Q. Why am I advised by my dentist to wear braces and have them corrected?

A. Not only is a properly aligned set of teeth pleasing to the eyes, it also creates an environment that is easier to clean and maintain. Proper alignment also allows teeth to work as well as they are designed.
