FAQs about dental health & our dentists in Kanwal

+ How often should I visit my dentist in Kanwall?

It’s generally recommended to visit the dentist every six months for a routine check-up and cleaning. However, we may suggest more frequent visits if you have specific dental issues or conditions.

+ Does dental treatment hurt?

Modern dental techniques and anaesthesia make most procedures painless. You might feel slight discomfort during some treatments, but we prioritise patient comfort and will ensure you’re as comfortable as possible.

+ What can I do to prevent cavities?

Maintain a thorough oral hygiene routine by brushing twice daily, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, and limiting sugary snacks and beverages. Regular dental check-ups also help catch and address any issues early.

+ What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?

If you experience a dental emergency outside of our regular office hours, contact a local urgent care facility. In cases of severe pain, injury, or swelling, prompt attention is important.

If your dental emergency is during business hours, contact us at (02) 4392 9911, and we will fit you into our schedule.

+ How do I manage dental anxiety?

Dental anxiety is common, but open communication with your dentist can help. We offer sedation options to help you relax during procedures. Breathing exercises, listening to calming music, or bringing a trusted person to the appointment can also ease anxiety.

+ Can I get dental treatments while pregnant?

Yes, routine dental check-ups and cleanings are safe during pregnancy. It’s important to maintain good oral health during this time. Inform your dentist about your pregnancy, as they may adjust treatment plans if needed.

+ What is the role of fluoride in oral health?

Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. It’s present in toothpaste, mouthwash, and some water supplies. We may also provide fluoride treatments for added protection.

+ Can poor oral health impact my overall health?

Yes, there’s a link between oral health and systemic health. Poor oral hygiene and gum disease have been associated with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.
