Keeping your teeth and gums healthy takes regular brushing, flossing and oral hygiene appointments at Dandenong Dental Care. With these simple steps, you can prevent dental disease and know that any potential problems will be identified and addressed early on.
Oral health isn’t just about showing off a beautiful smile. It is related to your overall health and affects the rest of your body. We want to keep your teeth looking bright and make sure that you won’t need costlier or more complex treatment in the future.
What to Expect
At your regular checkup and cleaning appointments, our experienced, professional team will perform a number of assessments to ensure that your oral health is in great condition:
Your checkup begins with a thorough evaluation of your gums, teeth, soft tissues and jaw. X-rays are usually taken, which allows your dentist to look at the areas between teeth or under the gumline that can be difficult to see.
Your dentist will check for any changes to the tissues and monitor any signs of gum disease or bone loss. You’ll also receive advice on your oral hygiene routines that you complete at home. Finally, a scale and polish is given that removes the buildup of plaque and surface stains. If required, fluoride varnish and fissure sealants are also available, which will increase your resistance to tooth decay.
If further treatment is required, we’ll discuss your options with you and create a plan to complete these procedures.
We have same-day visits available along with late opening hours that work for busy schedules. Are you due for a dental visit? Contact us today to book an appointment for checkup and cleans Dandenong! We accept health funds and rebates can be claimed on the spot with HICAPS.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
