  1. Dental FAQs - Your Questions Answered

  2. Dental Treatment and You • Haven’t visited the dentist in a while and don’t know where to start? Experiencing pain or discomfort and wondering what it is? Perhaps you’re looking for a dentist and want to know what specific offerings to keep an eye out for? Or maybe you’re wondering about various treatments and costs? • You may not think about the dentist very often, but when you do - the questions start rushing in. • In this article, we answer some of those queries that pop up most frequently for us.

  3. Dental Treatment and You • We’ll admit right away that this list isn’t fully comprehensive. It couldn’t possibly be - you need to speak directly to an experienced dentist to truly answer all your questions. For this, you can contact us at Redbank Plains Dental. • But for a start, have a read through the list below. We’ve organised it into several sections for easy browsing and linked to more detail where we know of reliable sources

  4. General Dental Questions • How often should I visit my dentist? • A general rule of thumb is once every 6 months. If you are in particularly good dental health and take great care of your teeth, once every 12 months might suit you. Everyone’s needs are different, so have a chat with your dentist about how often you should get a checkup based on the condition of your mouth, teeth and gums. • When should I get my wisdom teeth taken out? • If your wisdom teeth don’t come in correctly, they can start causing you problems anywhere from your mid-teens through to your late twenties. Some dentists recommend getting them removed during your teens, before they have a chance to fully form. • Other dentists will recommend that you wait to see if your teeth will cause problems at all. • For more information, we’ve written the following article: When should I get my Wisdom Teeth Out?

  5. General Dental Questions • What kind of cosmetic tooth defects can dentistry fix? • Simply put, it is rare to find a cosmetic defect that dentistry can’t fix. Missing teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, gaps between teeth, stained teeth - all of these and more can be addressed with cosmetic dentistry. • Health Direct, a government information site, has a great directory of cosmetic dentistry info. • How Much does a General Checkup Cost? • The question of price is always a tricky one with dentistry simply because it varies so much from practice to practice. But according to choice.com.au, the average price for a dental check-up in Australia is $231. If you’re looking to save, it helps to shop around a bit, and to make sure your dentist works with your health fund. We’ve got a few great tips to help you save money at the dentist. • At Redbank Plains Dental, we always strive to offer the best treatment at the most affordable cost possible. Our new patient special, for example, offers a comprehensive checkup at $190 for adults and $85 for kids. We also work with all health funds, so we’re guaranteed to accept yours.

  6. General Dental Questions • I get nervous about dental treatment… can you help? • Experiencing anxiety or outright fear about a trip to the dentist is very common. Dental care is critical to overall health, so completely avoiding the dentist is not an option. • Our best advice is to search for a dentist that offers sensitivity to this common fear. At Redbank Plains Dental, we specialise in gentle care. We also offer a Penthrox inhaler to combat this fear. Penthrox is a substance similar to happy gas, only more effective and less expensive. • Where can I learn more about dental treatment? • If you’ve still got questions about general dentistry, visit us online or contact us for more information. • If you’d like to learn without visiting or speaking with us, we’ve created a comprehensive DVD covering a wide breadth of topics. Contact us at the link above to request the DVD.
