Preventative Dental Care in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

Prevention is better than a cure

At Central Brunswick Dental Centre, we believe prevention is better than a cure. Our preventative care services aim to catch dental issues early, keeping your smile healthy and avoiding costly treatments. Located in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, we provide thorough general check-ups tailored to maintain your best oral health.

The Importance of Regular Check-ups

Seeing your dentist twice per year is the most effective way to prevent:

• Tooth decay
• Gum disease
• Other oral health issues

Routine check-ups help us detect any concerns before they escalate, saving you time, discomfort, and expense in the long run.

What to Expect During a Preventative Check-up

Preventative dentistry consists of two key stages: an oral examination and a professional teeth cleaning. We conduct both at each of our check-ups.

1. Detailed Oral Examination

During your examination, our dentists will:

• Inspect for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health conditions
• Evaluate your bite and jaw function to detect any issues
• Use X-rays if necessary to identify underlying or invisible concerns in your teeth and jaw

This comprehensive assessment allows us to build a full picture of your oral health, spotting early signs of potential problems.

2. Professional Cleaning and Fluoride Treatment

Following the examination, we perform a scale and clean to remove plaque and stains, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. A fluoride treatment is also applied, which strengthens your teeth and protects them from bacteria and decay.

Additional Treatment Recommendations

If we identify any issues during your check-up, our dentists will discuss potential treatments. At Central Brunswick Dental Centre, we only recommend additional treatments when they’re necessary. These may include:

• Fillings to restore teeth affected by decay
• Root canal therapy for infected teeth
• Dental crowns and bridges to restore function and aesthetics

Our goal is always to provide the most appropriate care tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your smile remains healthy and resilient.
