Most people know the saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, but what does it do to your teeth? Visiting your dentist in Cardiff or local area regularly is important for good oral hygiene and to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

A dentist can diagnose, treat and prevent all sorts of diseases that affect the teeth, gums or jaw and can advise you and your children on how to clean and floss your teeth properly, what toothpaste to use and the best toothbrushes to use.

Fillings are the most common procedures carried out by dentists; a filling is needed when the tooth has begun to decay. The tooth is drilled to remove the decayed part and filled with dental composite, porcelain or non-precious metals. In extreme cases where the decay is too big, the tooth is fully removed and replace with a fake one.

Visiting your dentist in Cardiff will ensure that your teeth are in the best condition and it is recommended that you have regular checkups every 3 to 12 months.
