Flossing is essential for daily oral hygiene. It removes food remnants between teeth, depriving bacteria of sugars. This reduces bad breath and cavity risk. We recommend flossing at least once daily.

You should visit the dentist twice a year — every 6 months — for a regular check-up and scale and polish. Early detection allows your dentist to halt decay progression or treat it before more extensive work is needed.

Modern dental X-ray machines produce minimal radiation with highly sensitive sensors. Our equipment undergoes annual inspection by nuclear radiologists to verify stable radiation output and ensure safety for patients and staff.

Caps and crowns cover problematic teeth using the natural tooth root as a foundation. Veneers and bonding apply cosmetic layers of porcelain or resin. Consult your dentist about which option suits your needs best.

A cavity is a small hole that forms inside the tooth because of tooth decay. Plaque combines with sugars and starches, producing acid that erodes enamel. Prevention requires brushing at least twice daily and daily flossing.

You should brush your teeth at least two times a day. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with fluoride toothpaste, spending one minute on upper teeth and one minute on lower teeth. Remember to brush your tongue too.

Adults and children should replace toothbrushes every three months. Those with gum disease should change them every four to six weeks. Always rinse with hot water after brushing and replace after illness.

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. A custom crown is then attached, providing a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care.

Professional teeth whitening performed by a qualified dentist is safe for your enamel. At our clinic, we use the BEYOND Polus system, which is carefully calibrated to whiten teeth effectively without damaging enamel. Over-the-counter products used incorrectly, however, can cause sensitivity and uneven results.

For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk or saliva and see a dentist immediately. For severe toothache, rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief. For a cracked or broken tooth, rinse your mouth and apply a cold compress. Contact Farfaras Dental Clinic as soon as possible for emergency care.

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, caused by plaque buildup. Early signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums. Prevention includes brushing twice daily, flossing daily, using antibacterial mouthwash, and visiting your dentist every six months for professional cleaning.

Routine dental care is safe and recommended during pregnancy. Hormonal changes can increase the risk of gum disease, making regular check-ups especially important. Elective procedures are best postponed to the second trimester, and certain medications and X-rays may be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

With proper care, dental crowns typically last 15 years or longer, while porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and regular dental visits. Avoid biting on hard objects and maintain a consistent brushing and flossing routine to extend the life of your restorations.
