Comprehensive Preventive Care Services
The best way to maintain healthy teeth and gums is to prevent problems before they start. That's why we at The Dentist Cairns Dental Group offer a full range of preventive dentistry services to help keep your smile healthy for years to come.
We recommend that patients visit us every six months for a routine oral examination. During your appointment, we will clean your teeth, check for any signs of decay or other problems, and take X-rays if necessary. We will also discuss your at-home oral care routine and answer any questions you may have about how to keep your smile healthy.
In addition to regular checkups, we also offer
sealants to help protect your teeth from decay. If you would like to learn more about our preventive dentistry services, please contact us today.
Healthy Habits for Good Oral Health
There are some basic things that you can do to help keep your teeth and gums healthy. One of the most important is to brush at least twice daily (morning and night) using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. It's also important to floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth. For best results, use a mouthwash to rinse away any remaining debris.
In addition to brushing and flossing, it's important to eat a balanced diet and avoid acidic foods and drinks. Be wary of hard candy and chewy sweets, as they can damage your teeth. And finally, don't smoke or use other tobacco products, as they can stain your teeth and increase your risk of gum disease and other dental problems.
Using a mouth guard when playing sports is also an effective way to protect your teeth from injury. Those who grind their teeth at night (bruxism) can also benefit from wearing a mouth guard to protect the teeth from wear and tear.
If you have any questions about how to maintain good oral health, please get in touch with The Dentist Cairns Dental Group. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
