Everyone’s needs are different. How regularly you get a check-up depends on the condition of your mouth, teeth and gums and your lifestyle factors. We generally recommend six-monthly check-ups unless there are high-risk factors.
Visiting the dentist regularly helps prevent tooth decay, bad breath and periodontal (gum) diseases that could develop into more serious problems if left unchecked. It also strengthens and cleans your teeth and gives you a more attractive smile.
Some problems with teeth and gums are easily identifiable at home while others are only discovered during a dental check-up. If you experience any of these warning signs, contact Greenland Dental Burpengary to book an appointment:
– Swollen, tender, red or bleeding gums
– Pain while chewing
– Persistent bad breath
– Loose teeth
– Teeth sensitivity.
We recommend children visit us as soon as their front teeth emerge or before they turn 18 months old.
Yes, it’s extremely important to maintain your regular check-ups during pregnancy as hormonal changes cause increased blood flow to the gums which can create inflammation.
Our dentist will always try their best to provide same-day treatment in the case of an emergency.
We’ll ask you to fill out a short medical history form. This ensures your treatment best suits you and your health needs. Your dentist will then talk with you about any needs or concerns before examining your teeth, gums and jaw. Depending on your circumstances, we may take X-rays or moulds. Your dentist will explain the results of the assessment and develop a treatment plan for you. A dental hygienist or your dentist will professionally clean your teeth and talk to you about oral hygiene at home.

We recommend you brush your teeth twice a day, morning and night, for at least 2 minutes. Use a brush with a small, soft-bristled head and brush in a gentle, circular motion. Replace your brush every three months to keep bacteria from spreading. You should also floss at least once a day, gently moving the floss up and down the sides of each tooth and around the gum line.
