Do you know what makes a healthy smile? Are you certain about how to get to the point at which you feel you’re easily and successfully maintaining your oral health? Or, do you have a lot of ideas about what good smile health looks like or seems like but you aren’t really sure how to qualify it? Fortunately, we have set up a short quiz full of information that will help guide you toward the answers and understanding you seek!
Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: If your smile is white and looks clean and healthy, then that’s a pretty solid sign that it actually is healthy.
- True or False: If you don’t care for your smile with dental hygiene as consistently as you should but nothing hurts, then your oral health is likely fine. It’s when you feel uncomfortable that it is time to worry.
- True or False: When you care for your smile daily according to our hygiene suggestions and you make it a point to see us for cleanings and checkups (so we can monitor your smile), this is the best way to maintain and keep tabs on your healthy smile.
Quiz Answers
- False. This doesn’t actually mean much other than the fact that your smile looks nice. You can have a very beautiful, white smile that seems clean and healthy but that is suffering from problems that require treatment.
- False. Pain is something that often shows up far down the line, rather than at the onset of an oral health problem. As a result, it is absolutely imperative that you don’t assume your smile is healthy because it feels okay (or assume you don’t need consistent dental hygiene).
- True. This is the best you can do! Keep up with this method and you can rest easy.
