Teeth Cleans and Exams

Maintaining your smile has many dental and overall health benefits. One of the best ways to look after your oral health is to consistently visit your Tamborine Mountain dentist every six months for preventive teeth cleans and check-ups.

What to Expect During Your Routine Teeth Clean

During your teeth clean, our dentist removes the excess plaque and bacteria that you missed during your home care routine. Plaque buildup is one of the main contributors to developing problems like tooth decay and gum disease.

At Mountain Dental Care, we use EMS (Electro Medical Systems) technology to enhance your teeth cleaning experience. Innovative EMS technology allows our skilled practitioners to remove plaque and tartar with greater precision and less discomfort than traditional methods using systems like airflow technology, guided biofilm therapy (GBT), and ultrasonic scaling.

Our team is also an excellent resource for learning the most effective products and brushing and flossing techniques to protect your smile.

The Benefits of Preventive Dentistry

Preventive teeth cleans and exams benefit your smile and dental health. By visiting your Tamborine Mountain dentist every six months for preventive care, you can avoid common dental problems and enjoy several advantages.
Prevent Emergencies
Routine preventive care helps you avoid common dental emergencies, such as tooth decay, broken teeth and painful tooth infections. When we spot problems early on, we can proactively treat them before they become more significant.
Save Money
If you’re proactive about treating dental problems early on, they may be less costly. However, if ignored or untreated, these issues become more significant and require more complicated and expensive treatment in the future.
Promotes Health
Gum disease is associated with several non-dental systemic health concerns, such as diabetes, heart disease, and complications during pregnancy. Consistent preventive care helps protect oral health and overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

We're often asked about the ideal frequency of dental check-ups. Our dentists recommend that most patients visit us every six months for routine examinations and professional cleanings.
 
These regular visits are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. During your check-up, we'll thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to decay and gum disease. We'll also perform a comprehensive examination to catch any potential issues early when they're easiest to treat.

Personalised Preventive Care Based on Your Needs

However, it's important to note that some patients may need more frequent visits. If you have a history of gum disease, are at high risk for cavities or have certain medical conditions, our dentists might suggest coming in every three or four months. 
 
On the other hand, if you have excellent oral hygiene and a history of good dental health, you might only need to visit every six months. Rest assured, our team will assess your individual needs and recommend a personalised schedule, ensuring you receive the best care for your unique situation.
 
Remember, while we are here to help, your active participation is key. Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to dental health. Regular check-ups and teeth cleans in Tamborine Mountain allow us to address minor issues before they become major problems, potentially saving you time, discomfort and expense in the long run.
 
If you're unsure about how often you should visit or if you have any dental concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch. At Mountain Dental Care, we're here to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

What to Expect During Your Preventive Check-Up

 

During your check-up, our dentists will screen you for early signs of tooth decay and gum disease. Detecting these concerns early helps you protect your smile with less invasive or costly treatment, saving you money and time in the dental chair.

They will also check your current restorations for wear and breakdown that could become problematic in the future. Keeping restorations like crowns and fillings healthy helps avoid uncomfortable emergencies and protects your smile.

The Oral Systemic Connection

Understanding your dental health's impact on your overall well-being is important. It’s never been more critical to monitor your oral health since we know that gum disease is closely connected with several other non-dental, chronic health concerns, such as:

  • Heart disease
  • Dementia
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Pregnancy complications

When you suffer from gum disease, the bacteria that cause it can also contribute to other systemic health concerns and vice versa, making you more susceptible. Protecting your dental health with routine preventive visits also guards your overall well-being.
