Frequently Asked Questions – Dental Clinic Near Heidelberg

How often should I visit my local Heidelberg dentist?

The dentist should be visited every six months for a regular check-up and cleaning. However, if you have more complex dental health issues, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits. You should also visit your dentist as soon as possible if you experience persistent tooth pain, changes to your gum health or damage to your teeth as these may lead to more serious issues if not given immediate attention.

What should I expect during a dental check-up?

Your dentist will complete a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth and gums to check your overall oral health and identify any issues that may require treatment. They will then explain any recommended procedures and answer any questions you have before formulating a personalised treatment plan.

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. Using fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash can also help to prevent gum disease and cavities.

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

Common dental problems, such as dental decay, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, bad breath, tooth erosion, oral cancer, teeth grinding, and crooked or misaligned teeth, can often be prevented with good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits. Early identification of potential issues can allow for preventive care to be taken, avoiding the need for more complex procedures such as extractions or root canal therapy if left untreated.

What are the benefits of professional teeth cleaning?

Professional teeth cleaning can help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which keeps your teeth and gums healthy. It can also remove surface stains from your teeth, giving you a brighter, whiter smile.

Do I need to have my wisdom teeth extracted?

The need for wisdom teeth extraction can vary depending on individual circumstances and should be decided in consultation with your dentist. Common reasons for removal include impaction, where teeth are trapped in the jawbone or gums causing pain and infection, overcrowding that misaligns other teeth, cavities or gum disease due to difficulty in cleaning, and the presence of infections. If wisdom teeth cause significant pain or discomfort, extraction might also be recommended. However, if your wisdom teeth are healthy, properly aligned, and not causing any issues, your dentist may advise leaving them in place.

How can I manage dental anxiety?

Our dentists are dedicated to making dental care less stressful for anxious patients. We make nitrous oxide, also known as happy gas, available during dental treatments. Nitrous Oxide is a colourless and odourless gas that functions as a mild sedative, and can be used for both adults and children.

How can I improve the appearance of my teeth?

Cosmetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding can help improve the appearance of your teeth. Your dentist can help recommend the best option for you based on your specific needs and goals.

Do you offer emergency dental services?

Emergency dental problems include things such as a broken, chipped or missing tooth, serious tooth pain or infection, lost fillings or crowns or soft tissue injuries. It is of the utmost priority to deal with these concerns as soon as possible to prevent further damage or infection. If you have a dental emergency, contact our friendly team on 03 9857 7886 and we will schedule you an appointment as soon as possible.
