If you’re trying to find out how often you should see a dentist, the general consensus is typically every six months. It is recommended that you visit your dentist on a regular basis and as a rule of thumb, don’t wait until your teeth hurt to see the dentist!

We don’t want to scare you, but by the time you start experiencing a toothache, there might already be a serious underlying issue. So if it’s been a little while since your last checkup, do yourself and your teeth a favour and book an appointment with your local dentist today.

Get Proactive With Your Oral Health

Proactive care is more often than not a much better way to prevent health concerns. The same goes for your teeth!

Brush twice a day
Don’t forget to lightly brush your tongue
Floss daily
Use mouthwash
Don’t smoke
Invoke a healthier diet rich in vitamins and
Visit the dentist twice a year

These simple steps will help to prevent tooth decay and other tooth and gum-related diseases so that your oral hygiene is tip-top.

Dental Health Concerns That Come With Not Looking After Your Teeth

Here are some oral concerns that dentists regularly see – and help to treat and prevent:

Tooth decay
Wisdom teeth growth
Gum disease
Cavities
Root canals

If not prevented or treated with proper guidance from an experienced dentist, these concerns can become uncomfortable and painful. That’s why proactive care is essential for healthy teeth, gums and smiles.

Of course, we understand that some of these dental concerns can happen even when people have been kind to their oral hygiene.

Dakabin Dental are experts in smile makeovers and smile transformations and offer free consultations for those looking to boost their confidence with a healthy-looking smile.

Why Are My Teeth Hurting?

If you’re experiencing tooth pain, we recommend booking an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Although it may be nothing of concern, it’s best to have a checkup to rule out any issues like tooth decay and gum disease.

There’s no need to be alarmed, there are multiple reasons why your teeth might suddenly feel more sensitive than usual including:

Age – Developing sensitive teeth over time is a natural ageing process. You might need to switch your regular toothpaste for desensitising toothpaste.
Exposing your teeth to extremely hot or cold food and beverages
Your at-home whitening kit is damaging your gums
You’re over-brushing or brushing too hard
Acid reflux
Medications
The mouthwash you use is too harsh
Grinding your teeth – possibly in your sleep
Loose fillings

These are all common toothache and tooth sensitivity concerns that can easily be treated.

See The Dentist Twice a Year

Seeing the dentist bi-annually ensures that any problems with teeth and gums are caught early on and can be treated before they become more serious issues.

At Dakabin Dental, our experienced dentists provide comprehensive care in a friendly environment. We offer treatments such as cleanings, fillings, crowns, and root canal therapy to ensure your teeth stay healthy and strong.

In addition to preventive care, we also offer teeth whitening and smile makeover services that will help you achieve a brighter, straighter, confident smile! We believe in providing personalized care tailored to each individual’s needs because we understand how important it is to have healthy teeth and gums.

Schedule your appointment with us today and let our experienced professionals take care of all your teeth-related needs. You will be glad you did!

Most of us are taught from a young age that we need to brush our teeth and reduce our sugar intake to avoid cavities and tooth decay. While these are important steps, there is more that can be done to proactively prevent decay. A more holistic approach can greatly improve your chances of stopping decay and preventing more in the future.

Mouth Breathing vs. Nasal Breathing for Decay

Breathing through your mouth dries it out, which makes it harder for your immune system to fight bacteria. Nasal breathing is a good habit to learn. Not only does it moisten the mouth, but it also allows the nose to filter air before it reaches the lungs. This filtered air contains less bacteria, which reduces the amount of harmful bacteria in the mouth.

Eat Whole Foods

Eating whole foods helps your teeth’s natural immune defense system, and this includes eating products with full fat which ensures you are including all the important fat soluble vitamins like A, E & K. Processed foods also tend to be high in sugar and low in nutrients, which can lead to cavities and decay.

Decay

Take Oral Probiotics for Decay

Oral probiotics help to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the mouth, which can neutralise harmful bacteria. Without oral probiotics, this harmful bacteria can build up and lead to cavities or gum disease.

Include Crunchy Raw Vegetables

Raw vegetables help keep your teeth healthy. They are low in sugars and the crunching action required to eat them help create saliva, which helps protect your teeth from cavities. Without raw vegetables (or any other food that requires crunching), there is less saliva produced, which leaves teeth more vulnerable to decay. The work your mouth and jaw has to do to eat such foods also strengthens it which can help prevent crooked teeth from forming or worsening!

By incorporating these simple steps into your daily routine, you can proactively prevent tooth decay and cavities. So start with quick-win changes & add in others as you are able to. The benefits will be most profound in your children, who can experience the life changing habits compounding over time. But you will also notice an improvement in your own dental health over time!

Caring for your teeth is an important lifelong habit that prevents disease. Teaching your kids how to care for their teeth early on will set them up for success down the road. Here are five ways to get your kids to brush their teeth regularly and properly!

1. Kids Learn by Example

As a parent, you are your child’s first and best teacher. They learn by watching and copying what you do. So, if you want your kids to develop good dental habits, it’s important that you practice what you preach! Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time, floss daily, and eat a healthy diet. Your kids will follow your lead.

2. Get Regular Checkups

Your dentist can spot problems early and help prevent them from getting worse. They can also help teach your kids how to brush and floss properly. Take your kids to see the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. The earlier you start this, the better. Your children will build rapport with your family dentist and will grow up thinking visits to the dentist are normal, not scary!

Kids

3. Make Brushing Fun

Making brushing fun for kids can go a long way in getting them to actually do it! There are all sorts of fun toothbrushes, toothpastes, and flosses available these days. Pick out some fun products together and let them choose their favorite! You can also make brushing into a game – see who can brush the longest or make the coolest bubbles while they brush.

4. Offer a Reward

Sometimes all it takes is a little incentive to get kids to do something they may not want to do. If your kid is having trouble getting into the habit of brushing their teeth, try offering a reward for doing it faithfully every day for a week or two. After they’ve developed the habit, you can phase out the rewards. Something like a sticker or activity is better for health than a food based treat.

5. Make Sure Their Diet is Teeth Friendly

Sugary drinks and snacks can cause cavities. Help protect your kid’s teeth by making sure their diet includes plenty of water and teeth-friendly foods like cheese, milk, nuts, and crunchy fruits and veggies. Avoid sugary drinks like soft drinks, sports drinks, and juice, as well as sticky sweets that cling to teeth like candy bars and gummies.

Caring for your teeth is an important lifelong habit that starts in childhood. You can set your kids up for success by teaching them good dental habits early on in life. With your help, your kids will develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime!

Our dentists here at Dakabin Dental would be happy to answer questions you may have regarding your kids oral health and habits. Book now at your own convenience or contact us today on (07) 3888 7752

Dental Care is Important During Pregnancy

Half of all pregnant women will experience gingivitis, or gum inflammation during pregnancy. Gingivitis leads to periodontal disease, which is a serious infection of the gums. Pregnant women are also at risk of cavities. Adequate dental care ensures that high risk issues are prevented and treated, giving the pregnant woman and her baby the best chance of positive health outcomes.

Why is Periodontal Disease Concerning?

Pregnant women with periodontal disease are also more likely to experience complications during pregnancy and delivery. It has been linked to preterm birth and low birth weight for the baby. These complications and others can be severe in extreme cases, so act quickly if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Time is of the essence during pregnancy. It may seem like you have plenty but it goes quickly!

The Reason Dental Health Can Decline During Pregnancy

There are links to hormonal changes that alter the acidity of the mouth. This causes damage to enamel, gums and increases the risk of decay and cavities. In addition, during pregnancy women are more likely to eat foods high in sugar and at unusual times of the day. Dental care can also be forgotten about since there is so much to do, prepare and think about already in preparation for expanding a family. If severe morning sickness or even hyperemesis gravidarum is experienced, vomiting can be especially damaging to your oral health.

Pregnancy dental care

What Can I do?

Visit the dentist for a check up and clean every single trimester and practice good oral hygiene habits at home. These include brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash. Tobacco use, which increases the risk of developing gingivitis or periodontal disease, should also be avoided.

If you are pregnant or planning a baby, book in for your check ups and cleans here. The best outcomes are achieved by planning ahead before anything gets in the way. Prioritise yourself and your baby by taking good care of your teeth and gums.

Most dental work is safe during pregnancy, but the second trimester is the best time to get and procedures done, to ensure your comfort and safety.

Our dentists here at Dakabin Dental would be happy to answer questions you may have regarding oral health before, during or after pregnancy. Contact us today on (07) 3888 7752
