go to the dentist and have a thorough cleaning by the hygienist.  Then,  be sure to brush and floss every day.

Here are the reasons why I go to my dentist:\nHe doesn't overbook. I've never had to wait to get in to my appointments. He's thorough. He explains things to me in a way I understand. His hygienists are almost as knowledgeable as he is, The equipment might not be all the newest gadgets, but everything is thoroughly sterilized. He has a great personality. Not really unique so much as old fashioned, quality service. Oh and he always makes my next appointment after each check up. I have to go back! LOL

Hello! I'm an NHS dentist.\nOn a typical day  (8.30 to 6) I will treat/ see around 25 patients, sometimes more. Some will just be coming in for check up and a clean (15mins for adults, 5ish for a young child), others for fillings (about 25- 30mins for an appointment, although you can get several done in that time). I will probably see a couple of patients who need dentures made (10-15mins per apppointment) and maybe some more complicated procedures such as root canal (endodntics, 45mins per appointment) or crown/ bridge work (also 45mins for the drilling, maybe 15 to fit the work).\n\nMost patients are lovely, but the few problems we get concern either unrealistic expectations of the patients, or money. I guess we don't ever really see people at their best as most are worried about real or imagined pain/expense, but most of the time as long as the dentist explains, doesn't hurt and the fillings stay in, people are happy!\n\nHope this helps.

Brush your teeth with a mixture of salt and baking soda 3-4 times a week. It is also the cheepest and the least abracive.

How do you know that you have no dental problems if you've never been to the dentist?  More than likely, you need to have your teeth professionally cleaned.   You can only brush so well at home & it is up to those at the dental office to do the rest.  Go ahead & make a phone call to get your teeth looked at.  At your first visit they will do an exam & x-rays and then get you back for a cleaning (dental offices don't usually clean your teeth at the first visit because there are different levels of cleanings & they need to find out what kind you need).  It's better to prevent dental problems before they start. Good luck!!

You should replace your toothbrush every 3 months with a new one.  You should also replace your toothbrush every time you get over an illness.

your dentist can decide. i only had mine on for 11 months, but my friend had hers for 3 and 1/2 yrs. it depends on how much work needs to be done.

Not very often - for sure. Dentists and all other medical professionals are licensed, and carefully monitored ... they are not going to risk their careers for a couple of extra bucks from you.

You should replace your toothbrush every 3 months or sooner if you are have had a cold or other illness.  If you have had a cold or other illness then replace toothbrush as soon as you are well.
