DENTAL FISSURE SELANTS
BENEFITS OF FISSURE SEALANTS
What is a Fissure sealant?
Fissure sealants are safe and painless way of protecting adult and kid’s teeth from tooth decay. It is a plastic coating which covers the chewing surfaces of the back adult teeth. The sealant forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth. The dentist will take photos of teeth and show you the deep groves in your teeth.
Sealants used in conjunction with a comprehensive dental care routine that includes proper brushing, flossing, fluoride treatments and a healthy diet, helps maintain dental health. While brushing and flossing are critical components of any dental health regimen, sealants provide additional protection for the grooves and pits of the teeth.
How to keep kids motivated to follow good oral hygiene during their orthodontic treatment?
Kids and teens wear braces to straighten their teeth or to improve the occlusion. Most of the kids wear braces for 18-24 months. This time can vary. Keeping your teeth clean during orthodontic treatment gets a little bit tricky. Your dentist or orthodontist will show you how to practice good oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy. At Heritage Dental Group Indooroopilly, our dentists see kids and teens for their regular cleans and dental check-ups during orthodontic treatment.
Our dentists always reinforce the importance of good brushing, cleaning in-between teeth, using tooth mousse and floss to clean teeth. Poor oral hygiene can result in tooth decay and white spot lesions.
ARE YOU GRINDING YOUR TEETH?
Bruxism means grinding and clenching your teeth. Grinding or clenching your teeth can lead to worn out teeth, damage to teeth and painful jaw joints. Teeth grinding can occur during the day or at night-time while sleeping. Many people may not even be aware that they are grinding their teeth at night as while grinding the teeth during sleep, you have no conscious control. If you wake up with a sore jaw, sensitive teeth or headache, you may be grinding your teeth at night. See our dentist and medical professional to rule out any causes. Sometimes, mild bruxism does not require any treatment but if you are experiencing it more frequently, please seek help. If you or your child is grinding their teeth at night or daytime, remember to discuss this with your dentist at the next dental appointment.

WHY YOU SHOULD GET TEETH WHITENING DONE AT THE DENTIST?
Why should I get teeth whitening done at my dentist when it is offered by cosmetic clinics and mobile teeth whitening services at cheaper prices? The question we often get asked. Sometimes people also ask about over the counter tooth whitening gels and toothpastes with activated charcoal, which are cheaper and easily accessible.
Teeth whitening is a procedure used by dental professionals to whiten stained discoloured teeth. This process is safe and effective if done under dentist supervision. Teeth usually get 6-8 shades lighter with in-chair teeth whitening, boosting confidence in those who are struggling with yellow stained teeth.
Your dental professional will examine all your teeth and gums to check if you are suitable for professional in-chair or take home tooth whitening trays.
If you have restorations, your dentist will discuss with you about stained fillings and changing colour of fillings after teeth whitening.
Dental emergencies or toothaches can occur anytime anywhere. It is best to know some quick tips to handle a dental emergency.
