Children’s Teeth Did you know, children start getting their permanent teeth as young as the age of 6? Once these permanent teeth are decayed there is no 3rd set of teeth to replace them. This is why a having your children practicing good home oral care absolutely is essential to help them keeping their smile nice and healthy. It is advised that you start bringing in your child to the dentist from an early age. It is common for children not to cooperate with a dentist for their first visit, but explaining what is going to happen and preparing them for their visit will help. Often just familiarity with going to the dentist with Mum, Dad or other siblings is enough to prepare them.

Going to the dentist for a scale and clean is important because it allows teeth and gums to be healthy and strong. The dentist goes around each individual tooth looking for plaque and hard build up called tartar which he removes from teeth. When gums bleed it is because there is bacteria on the teeth that has not been removed. With regular brushing and visiting the dentist frequently (every six months), teeth and gums can be kept in optimal condition.

Hornsby Dentist information about Crowns: One of the interesting things that dentists face in today’s society is that many of us are keeping a majority if not all of our teeth well into old age. This can be contributed to the improvement of overall oral hygiene through public awareness and national initiated schemes such as fluoridation. However as we keep many of our teeth, unfortunately, there are some instances when our teeth need a helping hand to withstand the rigors of everyday life. In some circumstances compromised teeth may require treatment to protect it from further breakdown and ensure continued pain free function while at the same time be aesthetically pleasing. Although as dentists we endeavour to be conservative in our treatment, sometimes it is necessary to suggest to patients to possibility of a crown to protect the remaining damaged tooth structure. It does so by totally covering the remaining tooth and to prevent any future damage. Many people have heard of crowns, however are unsure of when a crown is indicated.

Come in and talk to us about our one-visit eMax crowns, powered by CEREC, made right in front of you.

The Restorative Phase – In this phase, all teeth that need work done to them will be treated so no cavities remain, teeth are clean and healthy and stable. The reason why we restore teeth first is to start off with a mouth that is ready to be perfected. Secondly… Rehabilitation Phase – This second phase involves choosing and designing the procedures that best suit you. There are several types of enhancing dental treatments, the most common of which are orthodontics, surgical treatment, porcelain veneers, composite veneers and crowns.
