Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to questions about our dental services and appointments. Learn what to expect and how we prioritise your health and comfort.
How often should I visit the dentist for a checkup?
To maintain good oral health, scheduling dental checkups every six months is recommended. These visits give your dentist the opportunity to assess and protect the health of your teeth and gums. Regular checkups help identify potential issues, preventing more complex problems.
Some patients may need to schedule visits more often, depending on their dental health needs. Conditions like gum disease or ongoing orthodontic treatment require additional care. Your dentist will provide a schedule to suit your oral health requirements.
What are your clinic’s operating hours?
Our dental clinic is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We are committed to accommodating your dental needs in a welcoming environment. Our team is available to assist with appointments and enquiries within this timeframe.
We strive to provide accessible care during regular business hours. Patients can schedule appointments or visit us for dental services during these times. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at (07) 5523-2600.
Why do I need dental X-rays, and are they safe?
Dental X-rays are essential for diagnosing issues not visible during a clinical exam, such as cavities or bone loss. It’s a modern dentistry tool that detects underlying dental problems, aids in prevention and allows effective treatment planning. Dental X-rays provide your dentist with a complete understanding of your oral health to help keep your smile healthy.
Dental X-rays are reliable, using minimal radiation levels comparable to everyday environmental exposure. The use of this latest technology and other protective measures, like lead aprons, enhance patient safety during the procedure. Your dentist recommends X-rays only when necessary to support good oral hygiene and maintain your overall health and well-being.
What should I expect during my first dental appointment?
Your first dental visit is a chance to establish a strong foundation for maintaining
good oral health. It also helps create a positive relationship with your dentist. Here’s what you can expect
during your visit:
- Discussion:
Your dentist will review your medical history and discuss your dental health
goals and any concerns you may have. - Thorough Examination:
Your overall oral health will be evaluated through a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and
entire mouth. - Diagnostic Imaging:
X-rays may be taken to gain a clearer picture of areas not visible during the clinical exam.
- Personalised Treatment Plan:
Your dentist will recommend treatments or preventative measures that are
appropriate for your dental needs.
By the end of your appointment, you will gain a clearer understanding of your oral
health. Your dentist will also outline the next steps to maintain or improve it.
Do you offer emergency dental services?
Yes, we provide emergency dental services during our regular clinic hours to address urgent dental concerns. Our commitment to patient care means that our team is equipped to handle severe pain or dental injuries without delay. Prompt treatment helps protect your oral health and improve your quality of life. We prioritise your well-being by offering immediate dental care, especially for families, including children’s dentistry needs, to restore comfort.
Can I still have dental treatment while pregnant?
Yes, you can still have dental treatment while pregnant. Here are some key points to
consider:
Routine dental care, like checkups
and professional cleanings, is safe and recommended during pregnancy to maintain good oral
health.Inform your dentist about your
pregnancy so they can tailor treatment plans accordingly.The second trimester is considered
the ideal time for non-urgent dental treatments.Emergency dental care can be
performed safely during any stage of pregnancy, including
treatments for infections or pain.Elective procedures are postponed
until after delivery unless deemed medically necessary.
It is important to prioritise oral health during pregnancy, as it directly impacts
your overall health and your baby’s health. Schedule a consultation with your dentist if you have any concerns
about receiving dental treatment during pregnancy.
