Preventive dentistry

Dentistry is as much about preventing problems that may occur, as treating them. That is why it is extremely important to book regular check-ups, as your dentist may be able to detect and prevent problems that may arise in the future. If you are looking for a dentist in Sydney CBD, Spa Dental Sydney CBD has a range of treatments to choose from, all administered by experienced dentists.

What is the best way to protect teeth from cavities?

The clearest and most effective way to protect from cavities is to maintain a good dental hygiene routine. This can be achieved by brushing twice a day with the correct technique and flossing once a day. With this in your daily routine, you can ensure that bacteria levels are reduced in the mouth, and your teeth are kept clean. This can also contribute to whiter teeth, something some people may be concerned about.

Other preventive measures

There are some other treatments that are good for protecting against dental problems such as polishing and cleaning, and fissure sealants. If you are looking for a dentist in Sydney CBD, Spa Dental Sydney CBD has both treatments available.

Tooth polishing is a service that most dental practices will offer and involves a deep clean of the teeth. This treatment is different to teeth whitening, as it does not involve any bleaching of the teeth, however after a polish and clean, you may discover that your teeth appear whiter due to being cleaner.

Another fantastic way to protect against cavities is to have fissure sealants put in. This is a quick procedure and will only take one appointment to complete. Fissure sealants are a cover to the enamel, that work to protect the deep grooves of the tooth from bacteria. They are extremely well disguised on the enamel, and will be difficult to see, while also providing protection from cavities.

Children’s dentistry

Many dental problems can be detected early on, such as severely crooked teeth, or jaw problems. Child dentistry is extremely important, as newly growing teeth are precious, and will be the last set for life, so it is important that they are cared for early on. Make sure that you instil a strict routine on your children to ensure that cavities are kept at bay.

Orthodontics is also another key part of children’s dentistry, as the earlier jaw problems are approached, the easier they are to fix. This means that your children can then grow into their teeth naturally, without having to be concerned about crooked or warped teeth. If you are looking for a dentist in Sydney CBD, Spa Dental Sydney CBD has a fantastic programme for children’s dentistry. We will be able to advise the best course of action for your child, and hopefully be able to prevent any issues that we detect. We also like to be as warm and inviting as possible, and make our treatments as comfortable as we can, for both adults and children.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
