Preventive Dentistry in Roseville, NSW

Preventive dental teeth cleans and exams are the foundation of excellent dental health because they help you avoid costly and uncomfortable future problems, such as gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities.

Not only does preventive dentistry protect your health, but it also guards your budget by helping you avoid significant tooth emergencies and complex treatment procedures.

The Oral Systemic Connection

Science has shown close links between periodontal (gum) health and general health. We understand that the bacteria causing gum disease and specific chronic systemic health problems are related. This means that if you have gum disease, you have an increased chance of developing one of these health concerns and vice versa:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Dementia
• Stroke

Gum disease has also been connected with complications during pregnancy and low birth weight in babies.  

When we spot gum disease early on (gingivitis) at your preventive teeth clean and exam, we can often help you manage and sometimes even reverse the condition before it advances (periodontitis).

Unfortunately, advanced gum disease has no cure, but our team is well-equipped to help you manage gum disease and control your condition.

We recommend that healthy patients see their Roseville dentist every six months for preventive teeth cleans and exams. If you're managing gum disease, Dr Yang will recommend the best hygiene schedule for your needs. Patients with periodontitis will benefit from having additional cleans throughout the year to help manage their condition. 

During your professional teeth clean, we will remove the plaque build-up contributing to problems like tooth decay and gum disease. We'll also show you proper techniques for brushing and flossing at home so you make the most of your home care routine.

The Undeniable Benefits of Consistent Preventive Dental Care

We're often asked if routine visits to your Roseville dentist every six months are really that important. The answer is yes, and here's why:

• Oral health is connected to overall well-being: We understand that gum disease is related to other non-dental health concerns.
• Preventive care saves you money: When we spot common problems early, they are easier and less expensive to treat.
• Avoid painful tooth emergencies: Maintaining oral health reduces your risk of developing problems resulting in dental emergencies.
• Spend less time in the dental chair: You'll visit the dentist less often when you protect your oral health with consistent preventive visits.
