For better teeth and better health, visit your Hoppers Crossing dentist regularly.

Prevention and monitoring are important in helping you maintain your teeth for a lifetime.

When you come for a maintenance appointment, it may involve cleaning, fluoride treatment, X-rays, and scheduling a follow-up examination.

Treatment may be recommended to prevent tooth decay or to prevent existing fillings from breaking.

Treatments might include:

Dental Examinations

Regular dental examinations are key parts of preventive health care.

During a dental exam, the Hoppers Crossing dentist or dental hygienist will clean your teeth and examine for cavities and gum disease.

The exam involves evaluating your risk of developing oral problems and checking your face, neck, and mouth for irregularities.

Professional Scale and Clean

This is where dental health starts. There’s no substitute for removing disease-causing dental plaque and calculus from your teeth — especially in hard-to-reach areas near the gum line.

That’s why regular professional scaling and cleanings are so important to your health.

You might need a scale and clean if you have…

plaque or calculus on your teeth that can’t be removed by brushing and flossing alone,
to take preventative measures to take care of your teeth,
teeth that are stained from smoking,
temporomandibular joint pain, or
stained teeth as a result of consuming coffee, tea, and other staining foods and beverages.

Teeth scaling and root planing help deal with persistent gum disease. They are more in-depth than a regular teeth cleaning and may often take several dental visits.

They can also require a local anaesthetic based on the severity of your persistent gum disease and if you have receding gums.

Personalised Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making teeth resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.

It also reverses premature decay. For children under six years, fluoride fuses into the developing permanent teeth, making it difficult for acids to demineralise the teeth.

Fluoride also helps speed remineralisation and disrupt acid production in already erupted teeth of both children and adults.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a regular dental examination?

During a regular dental examination, patients are given a comprehensive examination with X-rays and a full inspection of the mouth. Any plaque build-up on the teeth is removed, and the teeth are polished. Finally, when the dental examination and cleaning are finished, the dentist offers the patient recommendations for future treatment. Together, the patient and dentist develop goals for proper oral hygiene and a timeline for future care.

How frequently do I need to visit a dentist?

This depends on the condition of the gums and teeth. If you have dental problems, you should have visits as often as your dentist recommends, if your teeth are healthy then every 6-12 months should be fine.

Why do we need to remove the tartar from teeth?

Removing tartar is not harmful to your teeth in any way, and tartar needs to be removed if it forms. Tartar around the neck of the tooth suppresses the gingiva, causes its inflammation, and reduces the possibility of oral hygiene.
