FAQ

What Is a Filling?

A filling is a synthetic material that your dentist uses to fill a cavity after all of the tooth decay has been removed. Fillings do not generally hurt because your dentist will numb your mouth with an anesthetic. Fillings are made from a variety of different materials, including composites, gold, or ceramic. If you need a filling, be sure to talk to your doctor about what type is best for you and your teeth.

Do I really need to floss?

There's no getting around the need to get around your teeth daily with dental floss. It clears food and plaque from between teeth and under the gumline. If you don't, plaque hardens into tartar, which forms wedges and widens the space between teeth and gums, causing pockets. Over time, gums pull away and teeth loosen.

Either waxed or unwaxed floss will do the job. Using floss picks or interdental brushes is another easy option.

Why is visiting the dentist so Important?

Visiting the dentist regularly will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy. Dental care is important because it:

1)Helps prevent tooth decay.

2)Protects against periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to tooth and bone loss.

3)Prevents bad breath – brushing, flossing, and seeing the dentist regularly will help reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth that causes bad breath.

4)Gives you a more attractive smile and increases your self-confidence.

5)Helps keep teeth looking bright by preventing them from becoming stained by food, drinks, and tobacco.

6)Strengthens your teeth so that you can enjoy healthy, beautiful smiles for the rest of your life!

How can I prevent hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is primarily caused by UV exposure from the sun, hence covering up from the sun's UV rays and wearing SPF protection will help prevent hyperpigmentation.

How can I maintain bright and clear skin?

Sun damage is the number one cause of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, hence covering up from the sun’s UV rays and wearing SPF protection will help prevent that. In addition, dry skin can cause a dull look along with leftover dirt, oil and makeup. So be sure to cleanse and moisturise daily!

What causes dark circles under the eyes?

Dark circles can be a result of visible blood vessels just below the thin skin under the eyes or shadowing from sunken areas around the eyes caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin as we age.
