Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need regular check-up
Regular dental check-ups help avoid unexpected problems and costly surprises. Catching an issue early gives you more treatment options, while emergencies often prioritise pain relief over longer-term solutions. Addressing concerns early tends to mean treatment is more effective, less time-consuming and easier on your wallet.
I clean my teeth at home, why do I need a professional clean?
Even if you brush and floss daily, it’s vital for your overall health to have a professional clean every six months. Some people may need more frequent visits, especially if they are managing periodontal disease. When plaque remains on your teeth, it combines with saliva to harden into tartar or calculus. If left untreated, this can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, a receding gum line, and eventually tooth mobility. Regular cleans and polishes not only give you a bright smile but also help prevent decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
Is fluoride effective?
Yes, fluoride is well established for strengthening teeth and reducing decay rates. It works by remineralising weakened enamel, helping reverse early signs of decay and reducing sensitivity. While fluoride toothpaste supports daily care, professionally applied fluoride treatments are more concentrated and offer additional protection. Our therapists and hygienists tailor fluoride treatments to your specific needs.
Why do I need x-rays?
Dental x-rays help detect issues that aren't visible to the naked eye, supporting early diagnosis and better oral health outcomes.
What are bitewing x-rays?
Taken on the sides of your mouth roughly every two years, bitewing x-rays help detect early decay between teeth, often allowing treatment before a filling becomes necessary.
How are OPG x-rays different?
An OPG x-ray provides a panoramic view of your teeth, jawbone, joints, and sinuses, ideal for monitoring wisdom teeth and other areas not visible with smaller x-rays. These are recommended every three years.
