WE CARE ABOUT YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

We believe that dental care is vital for good oral and overall health. We are a team of caring dental professionals who understand that going to the dentist can be a stressful experience. However, we strive to make it as stress-free and comfortable as possible.

Oral health is also linked to overall health. Studies have shown gum disease, a dental problem, can increase the likelihood of developing other health problems like diabetes and heart diseases. Regular dental visits can help you maintain good oral health and reduce your risk for these health issues. Regular dental visits are a great way to maintain good oral health. Our experienced and caring dental professionals are dedicated to providing you with personalised care tailored to your needs and goals.

Children’s Dentistry Alphington

Children's dentist Alphington

We are committed to delivering gentle and respectful dental care for children of all ages at Boroondara Family Dentist in Alphington and the neighboring suburbs.

We aim to educate children about good oral habits to ensure they have a healthy mouth throughout their lives. The Child Dental Benefits Scheme by Medicare offers eligible children $1000 worth of dental care over a 2-year period.

Dental care is really important for children. The prevalence of tooth decay in children is growing in Australia. According to 2010 data, 55% of 6-year-olds had experienced decay in their primary teeth, and 48% of 12-year-olds had experienced decay in their permanent teeth.

It’s recommended for children to start seeing a dentist at the age of three or four. Regular dental visits help maintain good oral health. Delaying a visit until a child experiences pain can create a distressing first encounter and potentially cause lasting fear issues.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dental Clinic Near Alphington

How often should I visit my local Alphington dentist?

For regular cleanings and checks, it is recommended that you visit your dentist every six months. Your dentist may suggest more frequent visits if you’ve had dental problems in the past or are at greater risk.

What should I expect during a dental check-up?

Your dentist will examine the teeth and gums of your mouth to check for signs such as oral or dental cancer, gum diseases, or cavities. The dentist may take X-rays in order to detect issues that are not immediately visible.

How can I improve my oral hygiene?

To improve your oral hygiene, it’s important to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time and floss daily. Mouthwash and fluoride-containing toothpaste can also prevent cavities and gum diseases.

What are some common dental problems and how can I prevent them?

The most common dental issues are tooth decay, gingivitis, and cancer of the mouth. For prevention, you should practice good oral health, eat healthy, and see your dentist for regular check-ups.

What are the benefits of professional teeth cleaning?

Professional teeth cleaning can help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease if left untreated. It can also remove surface stains from your teeth, giving you a brighter, whiter smile.

How can I manage dental anxiety?

We make nitrous oxide, also known as happy gas, available to help ease your anxiety. It is a colourless and odourless gas that functions as a mild sedative, appropriate for children and adults alike.

How can I improve the appearance of my teeth?

Improve the appearance of your teeth with cosmetic dental procedures like teeth whitening, bonding, and veneers. Your dentist can help determine the best option based on your specific goals and needs.

What is a dental emergency and how should I handle it?

If you’re dealing with a dental emergency, such as severe tooth pain or a knocked-out tooth, it’s essential to get treatment right away. Contact your dentist immediately for prompt attention.
