Think you know the truth about oral health? Let’s find out! 🦷

Dr. Naina Singh is here to help set the record straight on oral health—and support you with expert care along the way.

❌ MYTH: If nothing hurts, you don’t need to see a dentist.
✅ FACT: Regular checkups catch issues early—before pain starts.

❌ MYTH: Sugar is the only cause of cavities.
✅ FACT: Cavities result from bacteria, poor oral hygiene, and frequent snacking—not just sugar alone.

❌ MYTH: Flossing isn’t necessary if you brush well.
✅ FACT: Flossing removes plaque and debris between teeth that brushing can’t reach, helping prevent cavities and gum disease.

❌ MYTH: Harder brushing means cleaner teeth.
✅ FACT: Gentle brushing is more effective—and protects your gums and enamel.

Questions? Dr. Singh is ready with answers—and care that makes a difference.
