Dental FAQs

At Sea of Pearls Dental Boutique, patient education is a key aspect of our care. We want patients to learn how to care for their teeth at home as well as know more about in-office care. Our lead dentist, Dr. Daniela Oliveira, encourages communication with her patients and always welcomes them to ask about their dental treatments and current symptoms. On this page, read oral health FAQs for new and current dental patients who visit our dental office in East Cobb, GA.

Do you have a question for our dentists? Read answers to popular questions many patients have about their dental care.

In what order should you brush and floss your teeth?

Patients should floss between their teeth before they brush their teeth. Flossing removes food debris from between teeth. Then, brushing can easily clean these areas without debris in the way. Patients should brush for two minutes twice a day.

Do I need to use mouthwash?

Flossing and brushing your teeth is enough for the majority of patients. Antibacterial mouthwash can minimize the number of bacteria in the mouth. We may recommend an antibacterial rinse for patients with gingivitis or periodontitis. However, mouthwashes that contain alcohol can actually erode the enamel. Read the mouthwash label to stick to a mouthwash that does not contain alcohol.
