Our Preventative Dental Services
Our Bayside dental practice, headed up by Dr David Delac, can provide a wide range of preventive dental care services, with extremely knowledgeable staff here to keep your families’ teeth healthy. Some of what we offer includes:
Children Preventive Dentistry
When you hear the term ‘family dentist’ generally you’ll think of the oral health of your children. We take this very seriously at The Dental Family Beaumaris, and love to get your kids started early on their dental health journey. Regular check ups will allow us to monitor their ongoing dental health and deal with any issues that arise. Two of the more common procedures we perform include:
- Fissure sealants: The biting surface of kids’ back teeth have fine grooves on them called ‘fissures’. These can trap bacteria and decay fairly easily. A fissure sealant seals off these grooves and prevents problems developing.
- Teeth crowding with jaw growth: We monitor the development as the baby teeth change to adult teeth. If there are differences in size between the lower and upper jaw it could lead to teeth crowding, a bad bite and other complications.
Regular Examinations
Your regular checkups at our Bayside family dentistry allow us to perform a high quality standard examination on your teeth and gums using fibre-optic lighting and magnification to be able to see all the fine details. Tooth decay and gum disease are the two most common oral health problems that we check. Both diseases don’t give warning signs of problems until they are quite advanced, meaning the patient won’t be aware of problems until options for management are more limited and outcomes more compromised. The aim of our examinations is to find these diseases early, if present, and fix them when treatment is easier and outcomes are much more successful. Our dentists will also provide you with lifestyle advice to help you prevent any dental problems.
Teeth X-Rays
At our dental practice we recommend you take X-rays of your back teeth every two to three years. They help us determine the health of areas in your mouth that are not easy to see during your checkup. We use very advanced digital X-ray technology that reduces radiation exposure by 90% and uses no environment-harming chemicals.
Scaling and Polishing
Your dentist will use an ultrasonic scaler to scale your teeth. It removes the buildup of tartar and plaque that gets under the gum line, both of which cannot be removed at home using your toothbrush. Tartar is calcified plaque. It provides a home to bacteria and can cause gum disease. A regular cleaning schedule is essential in maintaining your dental health.
Fluoride
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in our bones and teeth. In dental care fluoride is used to strengthen enamel on your teeth. When you come to The Dental Family Beaumaris for a regular checkup, we apply a fluoride gel to your teeth. This is generally done after a scale and polish, so the fluoride gel has optimum access to the tooth surface.
