Frequently asked questions

Is there a key to achieving "the perfect smile"?

With the existing advances in the field of dentistry, whether through oral surgery, orthodontics, whitening, dentures or implants, we can have the smile we want.

At what age should we start going to the dentist?

It is normal for children to start going to the dentist at the age of two to teach them how to brush their teeth, give them a check-up and start fluoride treatments.

When should children start brushing their teeth?

The ideal thing, in principle, is for parents to clean the child's mouth every day with gauze during the first months. With the appearance of the first teeth, parents should brush very carefully with a soft brush without using toothpaste.

From the age of three, children should start brushing their teeth on their own with a little toothpaste, always with parental supervision, and continue until they are eight or ten, at which point the responsibility will pass to be exclusively the child's.

My mouth smells bad. Because?

Bad breath (halitosis) has gastrointestinal and oral causes. Oral causes can be diverse, including the accumulation of bacterial or rough plaque caused by faulty brushing technique and the presence of multiple pieces or decayed teeth.

I have dark teeth. Can you clarify?

Depending on the origin and the causes of the change in the color of the teeth, it is possible to whiten them using specific techniques that are highly effective and absolutely painless.
