1. There is no perfect toothpaste that will cure your cavities.
This question keeps propping up every now and then during the dental consultation visits. Which paste to use? Well, the answer is out and it is a bit disappointing. There is no paste that can guarantee a cavity free mouth unless you do not follow a proper brushing technique. All fluoride-containing pastes work just fine.
2. There is no replacement to professional cleaning.
Really sorry to burst your bubble but there really isn't a chemical or ointment that you can apply on your teeth and they will turn shiny white. The fact is that the calculus or tartar that forms on your teeth is hard to remove even by brush.
3. There is no age limit for braces.
It is never too late for braces. Yes, it is easier to align the teeth when they are young but it doesn't mean that adults cannot get their crooked teeth corrected.
4. You shouldn't wait for the pain to start.
So, your dentist told you that you have small pit caries. You feel that it is unnecessary to get them filled as it's not paining yet. And that you can cure the pits by brushing properly. Well, you can't. The demineralized tooth is not going to remineralize and the pits make your tooth susceptible for food lodgement and foul odour.
5. Dental treatment is costly for a reason.
The equipment, the materials, the technical know-how, it all costs money. And the material we're putting in your mouth is going to become one with your body. It is costly because it is good and our education also costed us a fortune. Invest in your teeth and live a comfortable life. Ask for discounts, and you will be demeaning your health care provider's expertise and education. You're welcome to do a market survey and make a choice based on your best options though.
