Oral Health Therapy In Lower Plenty

Oral health therapy goes beyond dental checkups and hygiene appointments; it’s designed to enhance your overall health and well-being. Here’s how our oral health therapists and dentists work with you to protect your teeth and gums and maintain your dental health:

Dental Examinations

Our oral health therapists perform thorough dental examinations, evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums to detect emerging issues and provide precise treatments. This allows us to take note of any changes since your last checkup, identify the cause, and give the necessary guidance to keep your oral health on track. We also guide you on the correct brushing and flossing techniques to ensure effective at-home care and product recommendations to suit your specific needs. Our approach is aimed at giving you a detailed roadmap to maintain your oral health with personalised health care plans and tailored instructions to ensure your dental care is targeted and focused on helping you improve and maintain your health.

Dental Hygiene

Plaque and tartar buildup is the leading cause of tooth decay and gum disease. While proper dental hygiene at home can help keep these issues at bay, there are still inaccessible areas where plaque can form and eventually turn into tartar. Our oral health therapists remove plaque from such areas, helping to prevent the bacteria from penetrating the gumline. This is essential in reducing the risk of gum disease, swollen gums, bleeding, and decay caused by debris stuck in the teeth. After cleaning, your teeth are polished to remove stains and ensure a smooth and clean surface.

Preventive Care

Our preventive care includes fissure sealants to protect tooth molars or biting surfaces against decay and fluoride treatments to strengthen teeth. These treatments are non-invasive and painless, providing essential protection against cavities and strengthening the tooth enamel to retain your smile’s strength and vitality.

FAQs

Impacted wisdom teeth are almost sure to cause problems if left in place. This is particularly true of the lower wisdom teeth. Such problems may occur suddenly and often at the most inconvenient times.
It is generally recommended that impacted wisdom teeth be removed between the ages of 14 and 22 years, whether they are causing problems or not. Surgery is technically easier, and patients recover much more quickly when younger. A relatively minor operation at 20 can become complex in patients over 40. Also, the risk of complications increases with age, and the healing process is slower.
It may be advisable to have them removed before travelling if you are going to an area where specialist dental services and antibiotics are not readily available.
Generally, no. Surgery in the presence of infection can cause infection to spread and become more serious. Firstly, the infection must be controlled by local oral hygiene, antibiotics and sometimes the extraction of the opposing wisdom tooth. Antibiotics are a short-term solution for impacted wisdom teeth.
