There are parts of your teeth, like between teeth and underneath existing fillings, that are impossible for a dentist to see with just their eyes. Dental x-rays allow your dentist to thoroughly assess the condition of your teeth, which will translate to the most appropriate treatment for you.  We use the latest digital technology to reduce your xray dose

Your child should see a dentist within 6 months of their first tooth appearing, and no later than 12 months of age. Your dentist will chat to you about how to properly care for your child’s teeth, and answer any questions you have.

Firstly, don’t panic. If the whole tooth is out of its socket, pick it up, avoiding touching the root and rinse it with milk or water, for a couple of seconds. Carefully put it back into its position in your mouth. Now come see us ASAP. Your tooth has a higher chance of surviving the sooner you see a dentist.

If part of your tooth is chipped, keep it moist, and visit us ASAP so your dentist can see if the broken part can be re-attached. If you’ve lost it, don’t panic. We can take care of this too. Give us a call on (02) 4961 6300.

The temporomandibular joints are located on each side of your head. They make it possible to open and close your mouth, and work together when you speak, chew or swallow. These joints also control the lower jaw as it moves forward, backward and side to side. Any problem that prevents this complex system of muscles, ligaments, discs and bones from working properly may result in a painful TMD or temporomandibular disorder.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common condition. Apnoea literally means absence of breath and an obstructive apnoea episode is defined as the absence of airflow for at least 10 seconds. Yet people often don’t even know they have it.

Dental appliance can be used to treat mild and moderate sleep apnoea and snoring.

Brushing and flossing are the first steps to eliminating bad breath. Brushing and flossing remove bacteria responsible for creating odorous sulphur compounds and the food they feed on. However, bacteria hide not only on and around the teeth but also on the tongue under a layer of mucous. Here they are free to create odours.

It is best to brush your tongue daily or you may want to consider a tongue scraper. Both are extremely effective at removing this protective mucous layer from the back of the tongue. Please see your dentist as they can help solve the problem.
