Q: What type of electric toothbrush should I buy?
A: It is better to get one with a brush head that vacillates (goes back and forth) rather than one that spins.

A: It is best to have your child’s first appointment before the third birthday, but you can bring him/her in after the first tooth appears.
Q: How many times a day should I brush my teeth?
A: You should brush your teeth at least twice a day. If possible, it is better to brush them after each meal.
Q: Should I floss my teeth?

Q: What is a dental implant?
A: An implant is a cosmetic procedure whereby an artificial tooth (or teeth) is inserted into the jaw or gum of the patient. It replaces or restores a missing tooth, and is similar to a bridge.
