Preventive Dentistry in Roseville, NSW

Man, woman, and young girl, brushing teeth their teeth, Roseville NSWPreventive 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.

 

 

Prevention Is the Key to Long-Term Oral Health

It's true! Prevention paves the way for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Below, your Roseville dentist shares just a few reasons to stay current on check-ups and teeth cleans.

Oral Health Relates to Physical Health

Oral health directly impacts your overall wellness. For example, studies now link gum disease (a preventable condition) to systemic complications involving the heart, lungs and other body systems.

Prevention Saves Time and Money

Preventive dental care can save you money on long-term or complex treatments. Additionally, it saves you time in the dental chair by reducing gum disease, tooth decay, and other risks and complications.

You Can Avoid Painful Oral Infections

Root canal infections can be excruciating, derail your plans and even cost you a tooth. In most cases, regular dental care, followed by excellent oral hygiene, mitigates the risks of oral infections.

A Clean Mouth Means Fresher Breath

Professional teeth cleans remove tartar and bacteria from the teeth and gums. These ingredients cause oral health complications, but they can also lead to ongoing bad breath!

What to Expect at Your Preventive Teeth Clean and Exam

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Periodontal (gum) disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults over age thirty. Your best defence against gum disease is a consistent home care routine and regular visits to your Roseville dentist every six months for teeth cleans and checks. 

Treating Gingivitis

Early gum disease is known as gingivitis, and it can be hard to spot on your own. Some early signs you may notice are:

  • Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing
  • Chronic bad breath you can't eliminate
  • Red, irritated, or swollen gums

When we detect gingivitis early, you may be able to successfully treat your condition with an enhanced home care routine and a thorough professional teeth clean. Some patients are even able to reverse it. 

Treating Periodontitis

Advanced gum disease is known as periodontitis. At this stage, you may notice that your teeth feel mobile, there is pain or discomfort when biting or chewing food, and you may see visible gum recession. 

Unfortunately, there is no cure for periodontitis, but we can help you control your condition. Depending on your needs, Dr Yang may recommend deep cleaning to remove the plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline that is causing your infection. She may also suggest antibiotic therapy or gum surgery for severe cases.

Digital X-Rays

Digital x-rays offer a safer, quicker, and more accurate alternative to traditional film x-rays used in the past. They provide clearer imaging for more accurate diagnosis with readily available images for viewing, diagnosing, and sharing. 

Since they emit 80 per cent less radiation than traditional film x-rays, they're safer for our patients. Since they require no harsh chemicals to develop, they're safer for our environment.
