General Dentistry

General Dentistry

The primary goal of general dentistry is to maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems from occurring in the first place. This is achieved through routine dental checkups, where the dentist will examine the teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues.

If any dental problem is detected, our dentists at Moama Dental Clinic will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan to address the issue.

Comprehensive Check-ups, Cleans, and X-rays

Comprehensive dental check-ups, cleanings, and X-rays are essential components of good oral hygiene and can help detect and prevent dental problems. During a dental checkup, a dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. They may also take X-rays to check for any issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth or problems with the jawbone.

Comprehensive dental checkups, cleans, and X-rays can help identify dental problems early, allowing for prompt treatment and potentially preventing more serious issues from developing. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene habits at home are key to maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems.

Oral Hygiene Maintenance

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for healthy teeth and gums. Oral hygiene maintenance treatment involves a combination of daily brushing, flossing, and regular professional dental cleanings.

Regular dental cleanings can help remove tartar and prevent gum disease. Our Dentists may also recommend additional treatments, such as fluoride treatments or dental sealants, to help prevent tooth decay. By practising good oral hygiene and receiving regular dental care, you can maintain healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are commonly used to repair a decayed or damaged tooth. The process involves removing the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth and filling the area with a material such as composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam. The choice of filling material depends on the location of the tooth, the extent of the damage, and the patient's preferences.

Dental filling treatment is a relatively quick and painless procedure that can usually be completed in one visit to the dentist. After the filling is placed, patients can resume normal activities and can expect the filling to last for several years with proper care and maintenance. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can help prevent the need for future fillings by catching decay early on.
