Dental check-ups and cleaning should always be the first step to healthy oral care and your overall health.
It is advisable to visit the dentist once or twice a year, but it is important to mention that this depends largely on the state of health of our teeth and other factors such as predisposition to develop cavities or dental calculus.
People with a higher risk of suffering dental problems may need more frequent check-ups. The rule of thumb for most is every 6 months.

Term times can get busy, and it is tricky to fit in regular professional dental care, so if your kid needs a check-up, why not arrange it for the school holidays? We can make sure that by the time your child goes back to school they have a nice, healthy smile.

The Child Dental Benefits Schedule gives eligible children access to up to $1000 in benefits per child for dental services over two consecutive calendar years.

Why Are Regular Dental Health Check-Ups So Important?

Regular dental check-ups are vital for maintaining the health of your teeth and gums, and can also be instrumental in diagnosing and treating other oral health problems. A dental health appointment every six months is the best way to keep on top of your dental hygiene regimen and stay ahead of any problems that may be developing.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots inserted into the jaw to replace missing teeth.

An implant will function exactly the same way as a natural tooth and is an excellent alternative to a denture/plate or bridge. It does not have to be taken in and out like a denture and it does not involve grinding down neighbouring teeth like a bridge.
There are many advantages to dental implants, including:
Improved appearance, Improved speech, Improved comfort, Easier eating, Improved self-esteem, and Improved oral health.

Dental implants require the same care as real teeth, including brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and regular dental check-ups.
Give us a call on 02 9607 4881 to get more information about dental implants.

ARE YOUR DENTAL BENEFITS ABOUT TO EXPIRE?

Most health insurance benefits expire on 31 December 2022 and reset on 1 Jan 2023. This means any unused benefits, including dental, will typically not roll over the next year and if you don't use them, they are gone forever.
Good oral health is essential for your overall health and well-being. We recommend regular checks to maintain healthy teeth and gums and to help prevent dental problems in the future.
You have until the end of December to book a dental appointment and make the most of your health benefits before they reset.
Dental benefits do not have to go to waste. But, end-of-the-year appointments fill up quickly, so feel free to contact us to make the best use of your dental benefits!

Dental implants are a good option if you have loose or missing teeth from tooth decay, root fractures, clenching or grinding your teeth, gum disease, or a facial injury. They’re also an option if you were born without a tooth or if you have a cleft lip.
If you want to improve your speech, your appearance, what you can eat, and your comfort, dental implants may be the solution for you.
Dental implants may be good for you if:

-You’re an adult.
-You’re an adolescent and your face and jawbone are finished growing, which is often around 16 years old for girls and 18 years old for boys.
-Your jawbone has enough bone to secure implants or your jawbone can handle a bone graft.
-Your gum tissues are healthy.
-You’re in good overall health.
-You don’t smoke.
-Your doctor will help you know if you’re a good candidate.

Dental Myths And Misconceptions:
1- Sugar Causes Cavities
While sugar does contribute to the formation of cavities,
it’s not the sugar itself that causes the problem. Rather, it’s the bacteria that eats the sugar. Sticky food, like starches, attracts bacteria to thrive on and around teeth. These bacteria produce an acid compound that promotes tooth decay. Rinse and brush after meals to reduce acid and plaque buildup.
2- Brushing Harder Cleans Better
Brushing harder is counterproductive. The harder you brush, the more trauma the tooth enamel and gum tissue endure. It can eventually lead to other problems such as gum recession. Brush gently for two minutes, twice daily with a soft-bristled brush.
3- White Teeth Are Healthy Teeth
Whiter teeth are not always healthier teeth. Teeth begin white, and over time, they can become discolored through staining or damage. Whitening teeth may leave the underlying cause of discoloration unaddressed. If your teeth are losing their luster, speak to your dentist about why.
