Dental Checkups & Dental Cleans Brisbane City

Dental exams and teeth cleans are your best defence against preventable conditions like tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral infections. Coupled with an excellent at-home routine, patients can enjoy a healthy smile free of dental problems. 

Your Dental CheckUp at Our Brisbane Dental Clinic

Daily brushing and flossing and routine dental checkups allow your Brisbane dentist to spot potential oral health issues early. 

You can expect the following:

• A thorough oral exam
• X-rays as needed
• An oral cancer screening

Your dentist can also discuss advanced prevention, such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants, to strengthen enamel and help prevent future tooth decay.

If your dentist finds dental issues during your routine exam, we’ll discuss potential treatment plans with you, spending time to ensure you understand the nature of the problem and why it has occurred. 

At Edward St Dental, we aim to educate patients about their oral health, give them the tools to learn how to brush and floss properly, help them make healthier choices and provide care options. 

What to Expect from a Routine Teeth Clean at Edward St Dental?

We have created a high-quality dental hygiene clinic that is about so much more than clearing plaque and tartar from the teeth—the main ingredients that lead to oral health issues.

Our team of dental hygienists encourage our patients every day and work to educate them about their oral health. Each hygiene team member even has a dental assistant to ensure you get a thorough clean and evaluation every time.

Using our EMS Airflow Master, they can thoroughly but gently clean the teeth and gums while helping to eliminate tooth stains. The EMS Airflow Machine is also gentle, reducing ultrasonic vibrations by 80 per cent.

1. Preventive dentistry saves your smile from cavities.

Ongoing tooth decay can compromise a tooth's structure, and treating decay requires time in the dental chair. Cavities form when tartar builds up on teeth. It creates acid that compromises the enamel, allowing decay to form. Even the most diligent brushers and flossers cannot eradicate stubborn plaque and bacteria.

2. Preventive dental care helps fight oral infections. 

Advanced tooth decay or injuries to the teeth allow bacteria to penetrate the tooth's canal. When this occurs, you develop a root canal infection requiring root canal therapy in Brisbane. Root canals can be very painful, and more extensive infections—when left untreated—can even cost you your tooth or spread the infection.

3. Preventive dentistry helps protect your smile against gum disease.

Our dedicated hygienists—Emma Bowtell, Katie Mateja, Kylie Brideson and Tam Nguyen —are your best defence against serious gum health issues like periodontitis. 

These team members and their personal dental assistants diligently work to keep your teeth and gums healthy by providing thorough dental cleans every six months. Additionally, they provide periodontal treatment to help diagnosed patients manage their disease. Periodontal disease prevention is vital because the condition has been linked to multiple health conditions beyond tooth loss, including heart and lung issues and specific types of dementia.
