What You Need To Know

FAQ About Our Dental Clinic in Armadale

We understand that you may have questions when seeing a new dentist for the first time. If your concern isn’t addressed below, please feel free to contact our dental clinic. One of our friendly team members will be happy to assist you.

General dental treatments can address a wide range of common oral health problems, including:

  1. Cavities and Tooth Decay: Regular checkups, cleanings, and fillings prevent and address decay.
  2. Gum Disease (Gingivitis/Periodontitis): Cleanings and periodontal care help manage and prevent gum infections.
  3. Plaque and Tartar Build-up: Professional cleanings remove hard-to-reach deposits that brushing and flossing can’t.
  4. Bad Breath (Halitosis): Deep cleanings and advice on oral hygiene can reduce persistent bad breath.
  5. Tooth Sensitivity: Treatments like fluoride application or desensitizing products help reduce sensitivity.
  6. Tooth Loss: General dentistry can prevent tooth loss through regular care or address it with treatments like dentures or bridges.
  7. Cracked, Chipped, or Damaged Teeth: Dental bonding or crowns restore function and appearance.
  8. Misalignment and Bite Issues: Dentists can recommend orthodontic treatments to address these issues.

General dentistry focuses on preventing and managing everyday dental problems to maintain oral health.

It is recommended that you schedule a scale and clean every six months to keep your smile healthy. If you have been affected by gum disease in the past, your dentist may recommend a scale and clean every three to four months.

Root canal therapy is often a better treatment option than tooth extraction because it preserves your natural tooth, which offers several long-term benefits:

  1. Maintains Function: A root-canal-treated tooth continues to function like a normal tooth, allowing you to chew and bite without discomfort or needing replacement.
  2. Aesthetic Benefits: Preserving your natural tooth maintains the appearance of your beautiful smile, preventing gaps or the need for prosthetics like dentures or bridges.
  3. Prevents Bone Loss: When a tooth is extracted, the surrounding jawbone may deteriorate over time. A root canal treatment helps retain the tooth, keeping the bone structure intact.
  4. Less Complicated Treatment: A root canal treatment is often simpler and less invasive than an extraction followed by tooth replacement, which may require additional procedures like dental implants or bridges.

Root canal therapy saves teeth and helps maintain dental health and function in the long term.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, can cause several problems as they develop, particularly if there isn’t enough space in the mouth. Common issues include:

  1. Impaction: Wisdom teeth can become trapped in the jawbone or gums, leading to dental pain, swelling, and infection. Impacted teeth may also push against neighbouring teeth.
  2. Overcrowding: If there’s not enough room, wisdom teeth can crowd other teeth, causing misalignment and shifting in your bite.
  3. Infection and Gum Disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets where bacteria thrive, increasing the risk of gum disease, inflammation, and infection.
  4. Cysts and Damage to Surrounding Structures: Impacted wisdom teeth can form cysts that damage the jawbone or nearby teeth.
  5. Tooth Decay: Wisdom teeth are often hard to clean due to their position, making them more prone to decay.

Removing problematic wisdom teeth early can prevent these complications.

Signs of gum disease, which can range from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis, include:

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums: Inflammation is a key early indicator of gum disease.
  • Bleeding gums: Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing may be a sign of infection.
  • Receding gums: Gums that pull away from the teeth can expose the roots and cause sensitivity.
  • Persistent bad breath: Bad breath (halitosis) that doesn’t go away may indicate gum disease.
  • Loose or shifting teeth: As gum disease progresses, it can weaken the structures supporting your teeth, causing teeth to loosen.
  • Pain while chewing: Discomfort when biting or chewing can occur if the gums are infected.
  • Pus between teeth and gums: This is a sign of a more advanced infection.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a dentist for evaluation and treatment. Early intervention can prevent more serious dental issues.

There are several dental treatments for bruxism:

  1. Custom-fitted Bruxism Mouth Guard: A custom mouth guard or occlusal splint can protect your teeth from grinding and clenching. They are also effective in reducing grinding sounds.
  2. Orthodontic Treatment: A clear aligner can straighten your teeth and protect them from grinding at the same time. In addition, they are suitable for reducing or eliminating jaw pain.
  3. Dental Crowns: If the surface of your teeth has been damaged by grinding or clenching, you may need a dental crown.
