Q: What is the difference between preventive and emergency treatment?

A: Preventive treatment can be used to slow down any tooth or gum disease or to stop it from ever occurring. Emergency treatment is used whenever you experience any pain resulting from a broken tooth or gum disease. Preventive treatment should be a top priority because it can prevent small teeth and gum problems from worsening.

Q: What kind of diet is good for my teeth and gums?

A: Our Delray Beach dentist encourages you to maintain a balanced diet, which means keeping your sugar, caffeine and nicotine intake low.
