Dental Work Quiz: True Or False?

Posted by Dental Centre of Conroe

Do you have dental work in your smile? This refers to anything that’s there that isn’t your natural tissue. For instance, you may have a dental filling, a crown, a bridge, veneers, and the list goes on! If so, you may have moments in which you assume the work is immune to problems because it’s artificial. The truth is, it’s vulnerable to damage and to potentially causing issues for your oral health! How to keep everything on the up-and-up, so you keep your grin in good shape, you ask? Let our quiz offer some initial guidance.

Quiz Questions: True or False?

  1. True or False: If you have dental work, the device or restoration itself is something we need to keep an eye on because damage is possible.
  2. True or False: Even though prosthetics are composed of artificial tissue and will not end up with cavities due to bacteria, if you don’t keep them clean, they can cause problems on other tissue.
  3. True or False: Damaged work, such as a bridge, can cause problems for the balance of your smile, which may lead to damaged teeth, jaw joint discomfort, and more.

Quiz Answers

  1. True. When you schedule dental care as we suggest, which is once every six months, we keep an eye on your dental work. It can become damaged, so consistent monitoring will let us know whether you need us to fix something or replace something.
  2. True. Any bacterial buildup in your smile is negative for your overall oral health. Cleaning the restorations or other work in your mouth along with natural tissue is a must.
  3. True. One reason it’s so important we monitor work in your smile is to make sure damage or a poor fit isn’t negatively affecting your function and comfort.
