About General Dentistry
Why are general dental services important?
How often should I visit my dentist for a routine dental check-up and clean?
According to the ADA NSW, the frequency of dental visits depends on age and dental health status. For children and adolescents, regular check-ups every six months are essential for tracking tooth development. Early visits help identify issues like misalignment or decay, allowing for timely care.
For adults, the recommended interval is typically twice a year, but it varies based on individual needs. Those at higher risk of dental diseases may benefit from more frequent appointments. Factors such as gum disease, smoking, or a history of cavities should be considered.
Discuss your dental history and concerns with your dentist to establish a routine that works for you. Consistent dental visits help maintain oral health and catch any potential issues early.
How much does a standard consultation cost?
At Karrinyup Dental Centre, we believe in transparent and accessible dental care. A standard consultation with one of the experienced dentists here is priced at $65. This appointment is your first step towards achieving optimal oral health.
Please note that factors like specific dental treatments or additional diagnostic tests can influence the final cost. For instance, a comprehensive dental examination that includes dental radiographs, a scale and clean, and fluoride treatment costs around $300. We recommend scheduling a consultation with us for a more detailed breakdown and to discuss any concerns you may have.
Can tooth decay be reversed?
What if I don’t fill the tooth that has a cavity?
How do I know if I need root canal therapy?
Below are some signs and symptoms that indicate you may need root canal therapy:
- Persistent pain:
If you are experiencing consistent pain in your tooth or gums, it could be a sign of an infection that has spread to the tooth’s root. This pain may be exacerbated by eating, drinking, or touching the affected tooth. - Sensitivity:
If you experience heightened sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, it could indicate an infection in the tooth. This sensitivity may be localised to one tooth or may be felt in the surrounding gums as well. - Swelling:
If you notice swelling or tenderness in your gums, it could be a sign of an infection that has spread beyond the tooth itself. This swelling may be accompanied by a fever, indicating a more serious infection. - Discolouration:
If a tooth has become discoloured or darkened, it could indicate that the nerve inside the tooth has died. This discolouration may be accompanied by pain or sensitivity. - Cracked or chipped tooth:
A cracked or chipped tooth may be more susceptible to infection. This can occur when bacteria enter the tooth through the crack or chip and cause an infection that spreads to the root.
Do all of my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
How will my dentist manage my bruxism?
As a patient with bruxism, or teeth grinding, one of your primary concerns will likely be how your dentist will manage this condition. Your dental professional may suggest several different options depending on the severity of your condition and other factors, such as your dental health history, lifestyle habits, and overall preferences.
Some possible management approaches include using a mouthguard to protect your teeth from damage during sleep. You can use it to separate your top teeth from your bottom teeth and position your teeth properly. With the right dental treatment plan in place, you can manage your bruxism and safeguard your oral health for years to come.
What are the causes of gum disease?
A variety of factors can cause gum disease. These include:
- Hormonal changes:
Gingivitis is prone to developing during pregnancy, puberty, menopause, and monthly menstruation when the gums become more sensitive. - Certain Diseases:
The risk of gum disease can increase with certain diseases. This includes conditions affecting the immune system, such as cancer or HIV. Due to diabetes’ disruption of the body’s ability to use blood sugar, people with diabetes are at an increased risk of infection, including periodontal disease and cavities. - Some Medications:
Some medications can adversely affect oral health since some decrease saliva flow that protects teeth and gums. Several medications, including anticonvulsants and angina medicines, can lead to irregular gum tissue growth. - Smoking and chewing tobacco:
You are more likely to develop gum disease if you smoke, as smoking damages gum tissue cells. Chewing tobacco isn’t much better. In addition, smoking also slows down gum tissue healing. - Poor oral hygiene:
When you don’t brush and floss, plaque builds up on your teeth and gums and can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. - Inheritance of dental disease:
A family history of dental disease may influence the development of gum disease.
Why should I get custom mouthguards instead of buying them over the counter?
When it comes to oral protection, over-the-counter mouthguards are one-size-fits all and can only do so much. They may not be comfortable to wear and won’t be able to provide sufficient protection. Custom mouthguards offer a higher level of defence for your teeth and gums since they are explicitly tailored to you using an impression mould taken from your mouth.
How do I maintain healthy teeth and gums?
- Flossing:
Flossing helps scrape away plaque and other food particles not reachable by your toothbrush. - Regular dental check-ups:
Visiting the dentist regularly can help detect early gum disease symptoms before they get worse. Also, a professional cleaning will remove tartar buildup and pesky bits you may have missed when brushing or flossing. - Quit smoking:
Smoking is not just bad for your lungs, but it can also affect oral hygiene. It weakens your immunity which means fighting off gum infections is harder, and healing damaged tissue longer. - Brush twice daily:
Maintain healthy teeth and gums by brushing twice daily with soft bristles, plus scrubbing your tongue. This helps remove food particles and plaque from between the teeth and bacteria that reside on the tongue.
Are all general dental services covered by my health fund?
Many dental health fund plans cover a wide range of treatments for general dental services. This range of services generally includes preventative care, such as routine teeth cleanings and X-rays, and basic restorative procedures, like fillings and extractions.
However, it ultimately depends on your level of cover, and there is often a limit on the amount of cover for these services. For example, most plans will only cover one routine cleaning per year. If you have questions about what your plan covers, be sure to contact your health fund provider.
