Dental Fissure Sealants

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.

BRACES AND GOOD ORAL HYGIENE ROUTINE

How to keep kids motivated to follow good oral hygiene during their orthodontic treatment?

KEEPING TEETH AND GUMS HEALTHY DURING 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.

Bruxism or Teeth grinding

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 I should get teeth whitening done at my dentist?

COSMETIC DENTIST INDOOROOPILLY

BRISBANE GENTLE DENTIST

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.

3 Tips to prevent tooth decay

TOOTH DECAY

3 TIPS TO PREVENT TOOTH DECAY

Tooth decay is the most common problem in adults and children. Tooth decay is preventable. Follow these 3 tips to prevent dental decay and keep your teeth healthy:

BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH FLUORIDATED TOOTHPASTE TWICE A DAY

Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste. Bacteria that cause dental decay get worse if the plaque and food debris are left on the teeth for a long time. You should brush twice a day to get rid of these bacteria and keep your teeth plaque and food debris free. Fluoride helps with strengthening and repairing teeth and prevent dental decay. Ask your dentist if you are brushing your teeth properly. Make sure you are cleaning all parts of your teeth including in-between teeth with floss or interdental brushes.

Dental Veneers

DENTAL VENEERS

Veneers offer patients the opportunity to improve the overall appearance of teeth and create a beautiful smile. Veneers have the ability to “dress-up” teeth and improve your smile. A natural looking smile is now achievable with veneers.

WHAT ARE VENEERS?

Veneers are thin porcelain or composite resin facings that are bonded to the front of teeth. They are between 0.3mm and 1mm thick and are often used as an alternative to crowns. They are extremely thin and in most cases require less of the natural tooth to be removed when compared to crowns. Veneers are strong and durable making them a popular cosmetic dental treatment for creating a beautiful smile.

There are two types of veneers – Porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers are custom made and designed to be bonded to the front of the tooth and they look and feel natural. With CEREC advanced technology, we now make veneers at our premises in Indooroopilly and are ready in a single visit.

Composite resin are applied by the dentist layer by layer until the desired result is achieved and you get a toothlike look and feeling.

CAN I GET VENEERS ON THE SAME DAY?
