FAQs About Oral Care
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I go to the dentist?
Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. Here’s a general guideline for dental visits:
- For most adults and children:
Visit your dentist every six months for check-ups and professional teeth cleaning. - For patients with specific dental issues:
More frequent visits may be necessary, as your dentist advises.
These regular appointments help prevent dental problems and allow dentists to detect issues early. However, the ideal frequency of dental visits can vary based on individual needs.
What is considered a dental emergency?
Several dental issues require emergency attention. Here are some common dental emergencies:
- Severe toothache:
This refers to persistent, intense pain in a tooth or surrounding area that doesn’t subside with over-the-counter pain relievers. - Knocked-out tooth:
This occurs when a tooth is completely dislodged from its socket due to injury or accident. - Cracked or chipped tooth:
This happens when a tooth has been fractured or broken, especially if it causes pain or has sharp edges. - Soft tissue injuries:
These include cuts, lacerations, or tears to the gums, cheeks, lips, or tongue that cause significant bleeding. - Lost or damaged dental restorations:
This situation arises when a crown, bridge, or filling falls out or becomes loose, potentially exposing sensitive areas. - Abscesses or swelling:
This involves painful swelling in the gums or face, which may indicate an infection requiring immediate attention. - Broken jaw:
This results from facial trauma that leads to a suspected fractured or dislocated jaw. - Objects stuck between teeth:
This occurs when something is lodged between teeth and can’t be removed with gentle flossing, causing pain or discomfort.
If you experience these issues, you must promptly contact a dental clinic for advice and schedule an urgent appointment.
Do you offer after-hours emergency dental services in Victoria Point?
We offer same-day emergency appointments during our extended clinic hours in Victoria Point. Our team is available until 7:00 PM on Mondays and 6:00 PM on Tuesdays to help with urgent dental concerns. We’re also open on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM to accommodate weekend dental emergencies.
If you’re experiencing severe dental pain, a broken tooth, or other urgent issues, we encourage you to call us as early as possible so we can arrange a suitable time for you on the day. Availability may vary, but we aim to provide timely care when you need it most.
How much does a tooth filling cost?
The cost of a tooth filling can vary, with simple fillings usually costing up to $275 and complex fillings up to $475. However, these are just estimates, and several factors can influence the actual price:
- Cavity size:
Larger cavities require more material and time to fill, potentially increasing the cost. - Filling material:
Different materials, such as composite resin or amalgam, have varying prices based on their durability and appearance. - Tooth location:
Back teeth may be more challenging to access, possibly affecting the price due to the additional time and skill required. - Procedure complexity:
Some fillings involve additional steps, such as removing old fillings or addressing nearby decay, which can impact the overall cost. - Dentist’s experience:
More experienced practitioners may charge higher fees for their services. - Practice location:
Dental costs can vary between different areas, with urban practices often charging more than rural ones.
We invite you to book a consultation at Redlands Gentle Dental Care for a personalised estimate tailored to your dental needs.
Is dental care covered by Medicare?
Medicare doesn’t generally cover most dental services for adults. However, there are some exceptions:
- The Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) offers basic dental services for children aged 0-17 years.
- Some public dental clinics offer services to eligible adults, but waiting times can be long.
To learn more about payment options and potential cover, we invite you to consult with our friendly team at Redlands Gentle Dental Care. We’re happy to discuss health fund benefits and payment plans to make your dental care more affordable.
What can I expect during my child’s first dental visit at your clinic?
Your child’s first dental visit at our Victoria Point clinic is designed to be a gentle and positive introduction to oral care. The appointment includes a check-up to assess your child’s teeth, gums, and oral development. Depending on their age and comfort level, we may provide a dental cleaning and offer guidance on brushing habits.
We aim to provide a calm, supportive environment for children. Our team uses age-appropriate communication and invites parents to stay with their children throughout.
If any treatment is recommended, we’ll explain it clearly and answer your questions before proceeding.
What are some ways to enhance my dental care routine at home?
Improving your at-home dental care routine is crucial for maintaining good oral health. Here are some effective ways to enhance your daily dental habits:
- Brush thoroughly twice daily:
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush for at least two minutes, paying attention to all tooth surfaces. - Floss daily:
Use dental floss or interdental cleaners to remove plaque between teeth. Gently curve the floss around each tooth, cleaning beneath the gum line. - Rinse with alcohol-free mouthwash:
Use a fluoride mouthwash to strengthen tooth enamel. Swish for 30 seconds after brushing and flossing. - Maintain a tooth-friendly diet:
Limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks. Eat calcium-rich foods and drink plenty of water throughout the day. - Replace your toothbrush regularly:
Change your toothbrush or electric toothbrush head every 3-4 months or as soon as the bristles become frayed. - Consider additional tools:
Try an electric toothbrush and use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria and freshen your breath. - Stay consistent:
Set reminders to maintain your oral care routine, even during busy times or holidays.
For personalised advice on enhancing your at-home dental care, book an appointment with Redlands Gentle Dental Care.
