Preventive Dental Care

At Redland Bay Smiles we strongly believe preventive dental care is the cornerstone of a healthy mouth. We encourage patients to come see us at least every 6 months for a comprehensive check-up and, if required, a thorough cleaning, x-rays and fluoride treatment. Check-up appointments are necessary in order to catch problems before they cause much bigger issues which can be potentially painful and debilitating. For example, signs of gum disease, such as bleeding and bad breath, caught and treated early can prevent future pain and loss of teeth. Similarly, cavities caught and treated early can prevent future pain, need of root canal treatment or extractions.

At these check-up appointments our Dentists at Redland Bay Smiles will also demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and answer any questions you may have regarding your own particular circumstances. After each check-up appointment patients are given, if required, detailed treatment plans outlining any treatment necessary and associated costs. At Redland Bay Smiles we pride ourselves on our professionalism and commitment to fully earning the trust of our patients and as such no treatment will be completed without patients being fully aware of what is being performed and of any costs involved.
