Should I go for teeth cleanings more often?
If you have good home care, I don’t think you should have a new cavity every 6 months. Still, brushing and flossing your teeth is a must after each meal. My recommendation to you is to ask the dentist to show the cavity. They are easy to see with new technology like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras. Good luck. READ MORE

As we age, the potential need for root canal increase and it could be do to large restauraciones, tooth became brittle and can chip or crack. Keep good home care, brush and floss your teeth and visit your dentist frequently. All this will help you, not to have this kind of major dental work. Good luck ! READ MORE
