Taking care of your teeth and gums from an early age will help your teeth to stay stronger for longer. To maintain optimum oral health, we recommend investing in a proper oral health routine which should include daily brushing, flossing, limiting sugary foods and visiting your dentist at least once a year, many dentists recommend getting your teeth cleaned every six months. Your Cottesloe dentist can remove the buildup of plaque on your teeth, leaving your mouth feeling clean while also reducing the risk of oral health issues such as tooth decay. Investing in your oral care will only benefit you in the future.

The general recommendation from a dentist is to wait at least 30 minutes after brushing before you eat or drink. The tooth enamel is weakened during the brushing process and therefore chewing anything hard can harm your teeth. Waiting at least 30 minutes allows the enamel to build itself back up. To give your teeth the best chance at staying strong and healthy, it’s important to avoid overly sugary foods, and acidic foods as these can also damage your enamel. Tooth decay and cavities are very common issues, regular brushing and visits to your local Cottesloe dental practice can help to maintain these issues.

If you’re wondering what type of dental professional to see for your regular clean, both our general Cottesloe dentists and dental hygienists are able to thoroughly clean your teeth. However, a dental hygienist holds a degree in oral health and will focus on the overall well-being of your teeth and gums. They are trained to prevent tooth decay by thoroughly cleaning your teeth and gums while educating you on how to better care for your teeth. Your general dentist will perform the dental exam, they are also trained in other fields of dentistry and can put together a treatment plan to create an overall healthy mouth while the hygienist will leave your teeth feeling clean and fresh. Often your Cottesloe dentist and dental hygienist will work as a team to assist you.

A paediatric dentist, also known as a children’s dentist, helps to set your kids up with great oral hygiene habits for life. A Paediatric dentist provides treatments to children from the age of 2-18. They offer services such as preventative dentistry, fillings, and extractions while also creating a fun and safe environment for your child so that they don’t form a fear of the dentist. Looking after our children’s health is vital, and their oral health is a big part of that. By starting Cottesloe dentist visits early, you may be avoiding the fear that some adults experience with the dentist. Dentistry should be affordable for everyone, we are a part of the Child Dental Benefits Schedule that allows families to access financial assistance for basic dental services every 2 years through Medicare.
