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.

DRY SOCKET PAIN
INDOOROOPILLY EMERGENCY DENTIST
What is dry socket (Alveolar Osteitis)?
Dry socket is a common complication of tooth extraction. It can be a quiet painful experience, but it can be easily treated by your dentist. Usually, dry socket happens when the blood clot at the site of the tooth extraction fails to develop, or it dislodges or dissolves before the wound has healed. It leaves the bone exposed to air, food, and fluids. The blood clot limits the bleeding in the area after tooth extraction and lays a foundation for new bone and tissue in the area. Dry sockets can often delay the healing process.
Teeth Whitening Options at Your Indooroopilly Dentist– Frequently asked Questions
How does teeth-whitening work?
Teeth whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These teeth whitening products break or dissolve the stains into smaller pieces which makes the colour of your teeth less concentrated, and your teeth look whiter.
Does teeth-whitening work on all teeth?
No, teeth whitening does not work on all teeth. It is important to talk to your dentist before starting any teeth whitening treatment or product. Teeth whitening will not work on Dental veneers, Crowns, or fillings. Always consult your dentist.
DIABETES AND DENTAL HEALTH
Taking care of your dental health is important when you have diabetes. Looking after your teeth and gums and managing your blood glucose levels can help reduce the risk of dental problems like gum disease and tooth decay.
HOW CAN DIABETES AFFECT MY TEETH AND GUMS?
If your blood glucose is above the target range, it increases the risk of getting tooth decay and gum disease or infections. You may suffer from dry mouth or more glucose in your saliva which can lead to plaque build up on your teeth – a sticky film consisting mostly of bacteria. These bacteria produce acids which can damage the surface of the teeth, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Gum disease can take longer to heal if you have diabetes.
Proper brushing and flossing help protect your teeth and gums. Along with good oral hygiene, visiting your dentist 6-12 monthly is recommended.
