5 Reasons Regular Dental Checkups Are Important

Keeping your oral health in check is equally as important as doing so for your physical health. Yet most people tend to overlook the importance of regular dental checkups. Not only do regular dental checkups prevent various dental problems from arising, but they are also crucial in detecting and treating them before they get really bad.

 

If you have yet to make an appointment for a dental checkup in Blacktown and Denham Court, we strongly urge that you do so as soon as possible. Dental checkups at Winning Smiles Dental Surgery don’t only prevent oral problems, our services are also aimed to detect other related health complications. To find out what they are, check out this blog to learn 5 reasons why regular dental checkups are so important for you.

Prevent Plaque Buildup, Tartar and Cavities

Most people are aware that dental checkups are important for this reason, but they are often unaware of the importance of being consistent. Plaque formation is a daily occurrence. While brushing and flossing help keep it at bay, there are some parts of your teeth that are not cleaned entirely. Hence, the help of a dental professional is required to do so. If not removed, plaque buildup often results in bigger problems. Over time, plaque solidifies on your teeth to form tartar: a calcified version of plaque that multiplies your risk of developing other dental problems. Plaque buildup also puts you at more risk of developing tooth cavities. In its beginning stages, cavities easily go unnoticed. With regular dental checkups, they will be detected by your dentist. Cavities that are left untreated worsen with time and will start to cause pain when it affects your root canal. In the event that this happens, a root canal treatment is required. The treatment costs you much more money than getting your oral health checked regularly.

Detecting Gum Infections and Diseases

Plaque doesn’t just build up on your teeth, they also get stuck inside your gum sockets. Poor oral hygiene and unhealthy diet are two common factors that lead to dangerous levels of plaque build up. A thorough scale and clean is also conducted as part of your dental checkup, effectively removing plaque from these hard-to-reach areas. When plaque starts to affect your gums, it results in gingivitis. Gingivitis is an infection of the gums that is also easily overlooked, as it causes little to no discomfort in its early stages. Detecting gingivitis on the early onset prevents it from worsening to periodontitis. Not only does periodontitis cause pain, swelling, bleeding and even bone loss, but it is also much more complicated and expensive to treat than to prevent it altogether by doing a regular dental check.

Checking For Hidden Problems

During a dental checkup, an X-ray is performed to rule out any complications that cannot be detected in an oral examination. Such complications include small cavities between teeth, cavities beneath existing tooth fillings, bone loss caused by periodontitis and abscessed teeth.

Save Yourself The Embarrassment

Stained teeth and bad breath give off an impression of poor oral hygiene habits, though most of us know that both of these are difficult to eradicate even with diligent brushing and flossing. The professional scaling and polishing performed during a dental checkup will help you maintain both fresh breath and a bright white smile.

Keep Your Health In Check

If you have not been aware that both your oral and general health have a direct relation, you are now. Oral health complications can progress into a myriad of diseases and health problems. Regular visits to the dentist prevent this harmful domino effect that poor oral health can have on your wellbeing. Besides that, there are a number of diseases that show symptoms in your mouth.
A dentist will be able to detect them and refer you to a relevant medical practitioner to get the treatment you need. As a matter of fact, dental checkups shouldn’t be perceived as separate from your medical routine. It is a crucial aspect of maintaining your entire wellbeing.

Ways to Reduce Wisdom Tooth Swelling

Swelling around your teeth and gums can cause real discomfort. As a result, simple things like eating and speaking can get difficult.


This swelling can originate from a number of reasons such as canker sores, gum disease or pregnancy related issues. Nevertheless, there can be another reason for this swelling, i.e. problem with the wisdom tooth. In this situation, you may wonder if there could be any way to deal with the pain and discomfort due to this swelling.

In this scenario, a few things are worth mentioning.

The wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth are the molars that grow in the back of the mouth. They have a wide surface on the top and they assist well in chewing. Unlike other teeth in your mouth, these molars appear at the age between 17 – 21 years.

Reasons for swelling in wisdom teeth

The real reason for swelling is the bacteria. And the bacteria infection we are talking about in this regard is related to the way your wisdom tooth grows. If the wisdom tooth grows at an angle or it partially erupts through the gum, it can cause bacterial infection which can further lead to swelling.

Swelling of wisdom teeth before removal

There are many people who do not have any issues with their wisdom teeth. However, there are many who have issues like swelling, pus, bad taste, pain, and/or fever due to problems with the wisdom teeth. Now, extraction of wisdom teeth may seem like the only way to solve the problem once and for all but you are going to have to deal with the pain while tooth is still there. A few things that you can do to contain the pain are worth mentioning in this regard.

• You can rinse your mouth with salt water. You will need to add two tablespoon of salt in eight ounces of warm water. Rinse your mouth with this water.
• Another way to reduce the pain is to apply cold compress. Cold compress should numb the area to give you comfort from pain.
• You can also use numbing gels to contain the pain. These numbing gels mainly consist of benzocaine.
• You can also go for the over-the-counter drugs to deal with the pain. These are usually anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. However, you have to keep in mind that this is only the temporary solution to relieve the pain.

Swelling after the wisdom tooth removal

While a couple of days after the wisdom tooth removal may bring a lot of swelling, this swelling is not here to stay for too long. The reason is that the source of swelling and infection will no longer be there. However, you can continue with the above mentioned steps to contain swelling after the tooth removal.

One thing that you need to keep in mind here is that you need to deal with the infection by having consultation with your dentist. Not taking care of infected area after the tooth removal can make things worse if the infection gets severe.

Toothache - Tooth Pain - Winning Smiles

Toothache treatment in Sydney Open 7 Days Week. Treatments: toothache, root canals, wisdom teeth, Tooth pain. Emergency Dentists Blacktown Sydney.

What is your emergency? Toothache

Toothache can occur in the teeth and around the jaws, and is caused by a number of different dental issues. Usually, the pain begins suddenly, and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain. It can come and go, but it can also be constant, and made worse by eating or drinking. Additionally, toothache may get progressively worse as time goes on, so it is essential to see a dentist as soon as you can. The treatment for a toothache may involve a somewhat invasive dental procedure such as a dental filling, root canal, dental bridge, dental crown or ultimately, a tooth extraction. But treatment today can be comfortable, and in fact, often helps you avoid tooth extraction. In addition, today’s cosmetic dentistry options, like dental veneers and dental implants, offer alternatives to traditional treatment, and provide a greater esthetic and functional benefit.

Question

I had a sudden toothache on one tooth. The gums are slightly swollen. I feel the tenderness when I touch it. After a few days it subsided and I ignored it. A few days later, I had the same toothache. What can I do about this?

Answer

Sudden excruciating pain or toothache may indicate the deep spread of decay in the tooth. Often, root canal treatment is necessary. If you note mild symptoms on the teeth, a check-up with winning smiles dentist will help prevent a bigger problem from occurring.

Features:

• may start with sensitivity to hot or cold drinks and food
• sudden pain from tooth or jaw usually of moderate to severe intensity
• pain may last a few days or longer
• pain can be related to one tooth or over a wide area
• painkillers may provide temporary relief
• swelling could occur

Causes:

• decayed teeth
• history of trauma to teeth
• cracked teeth from excessive wear, chewing on hard foods

Management depending on cause:

• remove decayed area and protect tooth with filling
• root canal treatment if decay is extensive and has affected nerve of the tooth
• drainage of swelling
• antibiotics for swelling
• extract tooth if not restorable

CDBS cap restored to $1000 per child

In December last year, in the wake of a concerted campaign by the ADA and the invaluable ongoing support of Labor and the Greens, in particular Catherine King and Richard Di Natale respectively, the Government announced that the Child Dental Benefit Schedule would be retained.

It was a significant victory, tarnished only by the Government's decision to reduce the cap to $700.

Today, however, following an urgent discussion yesterday between ADA President Hugo Sachs and the Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt, which was precipitated by the decision of a cross section of Senators to oppose cuts made by the Australian Government to the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) cap, the Government has advised that it will be restoring the cap back to its original figure of $1000.

The reduction to $700 would have led to more than 1 in 4 children who use the Scheme - around 250,000 children - facing the very real possibility of not having all their treatment needs met. With dental disease in children on the rise - figures show that 4 out of 10 children aged 5 -10 and 3 out of 10 children aged 9 -14 having decay in their baby and permanent teeth respectively - any kind of reduction is bad news for the oral health of these children.

However today's decision by the Health Minister means that the CDBS, which has proven itself time and again as a critically-important investment in the dental health of disadvantaged Australian children and a key template for the ADA's Australian Dental Health Plan, will be able to continue to provide the high level of care needed.

The decision to retain the original cap amount has been warmly welcomed by ADA President Dr Hugo Sachs.

"The Minister has acted decisively. He is putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to supporting the CDBS which is a strong investment in early intervention for children’s dental health. Today’s announcement is an example of how the Senate, and the Australian Government have combined to support policy that has been proven to help these children access the care they need."
