Do you know whether you’re making the most of your dental care? Are you under the impression that you’re taking advantage of the treatments we offer and doing a pretty good job with your own efforts at home? Perhaps you assume you couldn’t expect any more but the reality is just the opposite: It’s entirely possible that keeping your smile healthy could be even better than it already is! See how you’re doing with a fast quiz.

Quiz Questions: True or False?

1. True or False: If you come in for a dental checkup and we tell you that your mouth is completely healthy, there is no reason to ask us about any strange feelings or discomfort you have been having. After all, there’s nothing wrong.
2. True or False: When you are feeling extremely anxious about dental care or you are just having trouble feeling “okay” and calm when you’re in the dental chair, we invite you to talk with us about whether sedation may help you have a better experience.
3. True or False: You should already know how to brush and floss your smile. As a result, if you don’t know, we suggest you figure it out by looking online.
