Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in my first visit?

The first visit is to establish a baseline and obtain all your records. We then find out what your goals and expected outcomes are and together formulate a treatment plan and timeline. We then finish by doing an ultrasonic scale and clean, polish and prophy, apply fluoride and we also give you a bag of goodies to take with you.

Why should I come back every 6 months?

Why do my gums bleed?

My tooth was sore, now the pain is gone, does that mean it is ok now?

A sore tooth can be due to many reasons, some of which are; grinding, decay and infection. If pain has come and is now gone, this can be a good or a bad thing, and difficult to assess without having a look. If the pain has gone as the tooth was inflammed from grinding and has subsided, then this is good. However, if the pain was due to a dying tooth and the pain is gone as the tooth has died, then it is very possible to have an infection in the jaw that is yet to cause pain. This is why some people have some pain, then no pain then present with a swollen face.

How much does my health fund cover?

Do you accept all health funds?

How can I have decay if I don’t have any pain?

The tooth has 3 main layers; the outer white enamel layer, the middle yellow dentine layer and the inner layer, the nerve (i.e. pulp). The enamel layer is similar to your nails in the way that it does not have any nerve endings and hence no pain when decay goes through this layer. The nerve endings start in the pulp and go into the dentine layer , so when decay starts entering this layer, some people may feel something like sensitivity, others don’t. By the time there is significant toothache or pain, more often than not it has reached the nerve.

Hence it is very common to have decay with no pain, and this is why it is essential to always get checked.

Why do I need to floss regularly?

Why do I need to get X-rays every 2 years?

Bitewings are the type of X-rays that we take every 2 years. They mainly show us what is happening between the teeth and under the gums (areas we can not see well clinically). Since decay can usually spread with no pain, and decay that starts between the teeth can not be seen clinically, these X-rays are an amazing tool to prevent pain before it begins and catch decay early.

These days with the improvement in technology, X-ray dosage are ridiculously small and most major health funds cover the cost, why would you not do it?
