The Nundah Village Dental team shares with us their top tops for your dental health:
Keep on track for your routine dental appointments.
For most patients it is recommended to see a dentist every 6 months. During your 6 monthly visits, your dentist has a better chance of detecting any changes in your mouth early. Early detection of problems means you often avoid pain, treatment for your teeth is usually not as complex and not as expensive.
Consider when is best to attend.
When scheduling appointments most people focus on when they are available, do you consider when suits best for your budget? Is there a month with fewer expenses that could be dedicated to your dental checkup? We also see many families space out appointments throughout the year to break up the cost. Our reception team is fantastic at helping work out a schedule for you or your family and they will also ensure you maximize any dental rebates or schemes you may be eligible for, including the Child Dental Benefit Scheme or DVA.
Prevention is key.
Most dental problems are preventable. Our top 3 tips are brushing twice a day for 2 minutes, flossing, and reducing sugars. We all enjoy a sweet treat from time to time (yes, even the dentists!) but reducing the sugars in the foods we eat daily is important for the health of our mouth. Our lunches are the best place to start. Swap out any drinks with sugar or added sugars such as poppers, juices, iced teas and iced coffees for water. Your teeth will thank you for it.
