3 Tips to prevent dental decay

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

cosmetic-den3Veneers 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?

Children and parents can become anxious or nervous about the dental appointment. Children’s dental visits can be a comfortable and informative experience for both parents and kids.

At Heritage Dental Group, our experienced dentists take special care in encouraging and training children in good oral hygiene routine. Our gentle and caring dental team try to make children’s dental visit comfortable and informative for both kids and parents.

DR SINGH RECOMMENDS:

  • The best way to deal dental visit anxiety is to make your child aware of the importance of dental health and dental visits.
  • Try to talk positively about dental visits.
  • Don’t share your dental experiences with your children.
  • Try to make first dental visit towards their first birthday. Introduce dentist as the one who looks and checks the teeth and suggest how to take care and brush properly.
  • Never use any negative terms that could impact your child’s mental state before visiting the dentist.

Teething in Babies

SOOTHING YOUR TEETHING BABY

Teething in Babies

TEETHING IN BABIES

You might have noticed frequent crying, problem sleeping, more drooling, red cheeks, refusing food and trying to nibble and chew on any thing he or she can get their hands on. Teething in babies usually happens around 3-7 months. This time can vary as each child is different.

Stay patient and positive, teething isn’t fun for anyone. Its not easy seeing your baby crying, waking up from the sleep in the middle of the night but remember your baby’s teeth are poking out of gums which causes pain and irritation. It is natural to feel a little helpless, but you can do a few things to soothe your baby down. Try and see what works for your baby as each child is different.

Dental X-Rays taken by your dentist help detect and spot early signs of decay, gum disease and other underlying oral problems and complications. Detecting and diagnosing dental problems before they get worse can save money, reduce discomfort, and improve the quality of your life.

Our dentists at Heritage Dental Group use digital x-rays which emit far less radiation than the traditional x-rays. Dentist will only take diagnostic x-rays to check your teeth if any issues are suspected. Our latest digital x-ray technology ensures minimal exposure to radiation and is safe. Your dentist will take x-rays for the comprehensive examination of your mouth.

INTRAORAL X-RAYS are the most common type of dental x-rays. The x-ray film is placed inside your mouth.

Early Childhood Dental Visits

WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD VISIT THE DENTIST?

Dr Singh recommends your child should have their first dental check-up by their first birthday. Dental check-ups pick up any abnormalities or tooth decay at this age. Dental check-up is as important as general health check. Usually, 6-12 monthly dental check-ups are recommended. Children who are at high risk of tooth decay may need more frequent dental visits.
