High-Quality Preventive Dental Care in New South Wales
At Northern Beaches Dental, we utilise the latest dental tools and research to provide quality dental care to our patients. However, when it comes to ensuring long-lasting dental health, prevention is always better than cure. Preventive dentistry is focused on oral care routines and lifestyle changes that reduce the chances of gum disease and tooth decay in both children and adults.
What Is Preventive Dental Care?
Preventive dental care is a field of dentistry in which regular checkups, dental cleanings and effective advice are used to identify dental problems at an early stage and to ensure that a strong oral care routine is in place so that a patient does not face serious problems at a later stage.
What to Expect From a Dental Checkup?
A thorough dental checkup allows dentists to spot problems before they require extensive (and expensive) treatment. This involves a complete examination of the gum tissue, jaw and teeth, followed by a professional dental cleaning using special equipment that cleans out plaque and bacteria from difficult to reach places. A dental checkup allows your dentist to recommend dental procedures to address early signs of cavities, tooth decay or gum disease, including fluoride treatment if required.
At Northern Beaches Dental, we closely monitor the dental health of every patient and make sure we know what’s going on above, and below the surface. We recommend getting a dental X-ray once every few years to spot tooth decay or bone degeneration that isn’t visible to the eye.
Dental Care Education
We believe that the key to excellent oral health lies in a quality dental care routine. Although our clinic is fully equipped to handle any kind of dental issue, our passion lies in providing our patients with research backed dental care advice that they can implement at home. We’ve got you covered on every front from brushing and flossing techniques to dietary advice for better dental health. Securing your oral health requires a holistic combination of quality dental care and a healthy lifestyle.
Extended Clinic Hours
We offer extended clinic hours so that you can book an appointment at a time that suits you and get the best dental care in Sydney. Our friendly staff are happy to go the extra mile and send you a reminder via call, text or email so you don’t miss out on that all-important checkup.
Personalised Dental Care
We understand that every person is unique, and so are their dental care needs. The team at Northern Beaches Dental takes the time to get to know you, your lifestyle, your general health and your oral health goals. It helps to build a relationship of trust that enables you to relax, knowing you’re in the best hands. It also enables us to create a dental care plan that suits your individual needs.
How to Prevent Tooth Decay
As preventive dental experts, we believe in empowering our patients so that they can take measures to prevent tooth decay, such as:
● Brush your teeth twice a day, after breakfast and before going to bed
● Use fluoride toothpaste
● Floss twice a day
● Have regular dental checkups so we can treat any decay before it becomes a major problem or does too much damage
● Don’t snack before bedtime
● Avoid foods and drinks that are high in sugar, especially soft drinks, sweet cereal, desserts and sticky foods
