Q: I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time – will I need a lot of treatment?
A: Years ago it was normal for people to need fillings every time they went to their dentist, but things have changed for the better. Fluoride toothpastes have made an impact on tooth decay, and you may be surprised at how little treatment you need. Our goal is to help you stay healthy. Teeth are meant to last a lifetime, and they will if they are looked after properly. Getting your mouth into good shape now, with our help, may mean less treatment for you in the future. It is important to keep up your regular visits, so we can help you prevent tooth decay and fight gum disease.
