Did you know that your preventive cleans and exams every six months are among the best ways to protect your family's oral health? It's true, and here are several reasons why regular dental check-ups are important.
Understanding Preventive Dental Care for Families in Katoomba
During your preventive exam, our dentists check you and your family members for common issues like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. When we detect these concerns early, we can likely treat them with simpler, less invasive procedures. This saves you extra time in the dental chair and extra money from your budget. For kids, this means less time missed from school for dental appointments.
When we monitor your child's early oral development, we can also alert you to any concerns early on, so you can address them before they lead to more significant issues in the future.
We make family dental checks at our Katoomba, NSW, clinic simple with combined scheduling. This means we can see more than one family member at the same time, saving you time and the stress of running back and forth for appointments.
What Happens During a Professional Clean?
During a professional teeth clean with our hygienists, they will gently remove the plaque build-up you might've missed at home. When you don't properly remove plaque from your teeth at home with daily brushing, it builds up, hardens, and becomes a substance called tartar. You won't be able to remove tartar on your own with brushing and flossing. Your dental hygienist removes it with professional hand tools.
Your hygienist is also a great resource for dental products that aid your home care routine. They can also demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques. So, be sure to arrive with all of your questions.
