Preventive dental care
General Examinations at Carina Gardens Dental
General examinations are the foundation of preventative dental care. A healthy smile can be more easily maintained with regular dental checkups because it helps us detect problems like tooth decay and gum infections early. And early detection means a lower risk for dental problems that can be painful and costly.
When you come to Carina Gardens Dental for a general examination, our dentist will do a comprehensive oral examination with x-rays and an assessment. You may also request a fluoride treatment as well as scaling and polishing to remove dental plaque to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
We believe that routine dental checkups are crucial for oral health as many dental problems are asymptomatic until the problem has spread, leading to pain and possible costly treatments. The sooner we detect problems, the greater the chance is to eliminate the problem and save your teeth.
maintain good oral health
Dental Hygiene Brisbane, Carina
Dental hygiene with professional dental cleanings helps prevent cavities and gum disease. Unfortunately, even brushing your teeth twice every day may not remove the bacteria from teeth that can harden into plaque. Once formed, this plaque can trap more bacteria and lead to worse problems.
Our skilled dental hygienists use special tools to remove the plaque as they clean your teeth and remove tartar. During the cleaning, they will identify potential problems for quick intervention, if needed. We believe in keeping small problems small or eliminating them altogether, so we can help you enjoy a clean bill of oral health.
avoid common dental health issues
Oral Health Care and Prevention
The best approach to oral health care is preventing problems from happening. The more proactive you can be with your daily oral hygiene habits, the greater chance you have to avoid common dental health problems like tooth or gum infections. In fact, regular professional cleanings along with regular dental checkups can help keep tartar and plaque under control. This greatly reduces the future need for treatments such as root canal therapy, dental implants or even dentures.
Some patients may be in situations that put them at a greater risk for dental problems even with regular maintenance. For example, certain medications or heredity can both be causes behind weak tooth structure or tooth decay. But regular checkups and cleanings can help avoid some of the problems.
When left untreated, small tooth problems can lead to complicated dental treatments. Here are some common dental problems we find and what may happen if you don’t get early treatment:
