“Your Smile is the prettiest thing you have!”

Your smile is your treasure!  Keep it, maintain it and own it!

Your smile not only looks good but also makes you and others feel good.

It evokes positivity both physically and emotionally.

To achieve your best smile look after it by healthy oral hygiene habits.  This involves brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. Research indicates that flouride toothpaste is completely safe to use at the prescribed dose where it remineralizes and hardens the tooth surface and the tooth becomes more resistant to acid. That is why we offer the fluoride treatment for your hygiene appointment.

Eating and drinking healthy is also vital for the health of our teeth. Foods like cheese, yoghurt and fruits are tooth-friendly foods where cheese and yoghurt help to re-mineralize the tooth surface and neutralize the acids in the mouth. Water is absolutely the best drink for your mouth and body. Try to consume water throughout your day as it hydrates, moistens and cleanses your mouth and also decreases cavities.

Regular check-ups and professional cleans are vital to maintaining your smile. It is important to get your mouth checked regularly with X-rays because we can detect anything that needs attention early. This way we can prevent or fix the problem before it gets worse.  Furthermore, when problems are small they usually don’t cause pain. So please don’t think that you need to visit the dentist when there is a pain, because by then you have already lost a lot. In terms of body tissues as well as your wallet! X-rays help us to check things that we are unable to see in the mouth such as decay starting in between your teeth, bone underneath the gum as well as the roots of the teeth.

Professional cleans are important to maintain your smile as we thoroughly check the health of your gums and remove any bacteria that is attached to the tooth.  This bacteria is the cause of cavities and gum disease. Furthermore, Dr. Sandeep and Natasha will educate you on where you are missing cleaning and how to keep these areas clean and healthy.

And if you’re not happy with your smile there are so many ways to get the smile you want! This can be achieved through whitening, orthodontics, implants, veneers and crowns.

So come visit us at Mount Tamborine Dental so we can help you achieve that healthy and happy smile that you envision!
