Preventative Dentistry FAQ's
Everyone should visit the dentist at least twice a year for a general check-up and professional clean. You should also visit your dentist whenever you have dental or gum pain, or other dental concerns.
When was your last dental check-up and clean? Contact our team today on 03 9654 5836 to organise your appointment.
Bi-annual dental check-ups are covered by most medical/dental insurers however additional procedures resulting from the check-up may not be. Contact your insurer and make the necessary arrangements before undergoing any procedures.
Fluoride is a great addition to your oral hygiene routine and can help prevent and reduce decay and cavities before they are even visible. Fluoride can be found in some toothpastes and oral hygiene products. Talk to your dentist about any fluoride supplements you may want to add to your routine.
Brushing your teeth properly is more important than brushing your teeth more often. Over brushing your teeth can be harmful to your gums and make you more susceptible to gum disease and receding gums.
Babies teeth are vulnerable to decay as soon as they erupt (and even before). An age appropriate oral hygiene routine can help your child grow into healthy dental habits and build strong healthy teeth. Ask your Birdseye Dental Group dentist about a healthy, age appropriate oral hygiene routine for your child.
