Doctor's advice:

• "Come for a regular dental check-up every six months, even if your teeth don't bother you - this helps to identify and address problems in a timely manner. Brush your teeth and use floss or interdental brushes, use an irrigator - it helps clean hard-to-reach areas. If you feel any discomfort, consult a dentist immediately - early treatment is easier and faster. After operations or implantation, follow your doctor's recommendations and come for follow-up appointments to ensure proper tissue healing. Protect your teeth from heavy loads during eating (Don't test your teeth's strength with nuts or bottle caps - they don't like it). Regular oral and gum care supports the health of the entire body and helps maintain a beautiful and healthy smile for many years."
