Dentists Auckland CBD
Regular examinations/checkups.
Regular check ups from your Dentist are really important for maintaining teeth and gum health. Waiting until a tooth breaks, or develops a cavity (hole), or something becomes painful is unwise because simple things like a fluoride treatment, using a different mouthwash or maybe just changing the way you brush your teeth can prevent a lot of discomfort and expense later on.
I’ll help you understand in plain English, your current tooth and gum health, and discuss with you the General Dentistry options available, their pros and cons including costs. Some patients prefer to left in their own time to decide, others prefer to be just ‘told what to do’. Which ever is most comforting and helpful to you, is the path we’ll take. That said, if I really believe that there may be serious discomfort, and expense in the future, by not doing something now, I will let you know. You may have landed here after searching Dentists Auckland CBD, so there is good chance, the information below will be helpful to you. It’s not just cosmetic dental that costs the earth. Sure things like dental veneers, porcelain veneers, orthodontics for teeth braces like invisalign or other teeth straightening, can cost a lot. But if you don’t take basic care, just that could cost you in the long run as well.
Dental hygienist services
A dental hygienist “removes hard and soft deposits on teeth”. That gets them cleaner that what is possible at home. Even if you clean every day, you end with plaque and tartar build-up, it’s unavoidable. This build-up can only be removed by a dental professional. If plaque and tartar build-up is left too long it can cause gingivitis or periodontitis (the technical terms for gum disease). Gums are very important as they are what hold your teeth in place. If they get infected and your teeth get loose or the gums shrink, there is not a lot we can do at that stage, so prevention is key.
The dental hygienists at our Dentists Auckland CBD practice are also trained to show you how to make adjustments to the way you clean your teeth. Doing this right, early on, can often mean that you don’t need dentists every 6 months, which saves you money.
