Patients not receiving regular check-ups usually require more comprehensive examinations and treatments due to potential cumulative damage over time. We need to know why it has been several years since you last sought dental care.
Knowing why there has been an extended period without routine oral health care will help us tailor an oral health program that addresses financial constraints, fear or anxiety associated with dental procedures.
Please select all that apply so we can collect the unique details needed to address your dental condition fully.

Any recent infection or injury to the area may predispose you to develop Ludwig angina.
Conditions such as diabetes, oral malignancy, dental caries, alcoholism, malnutrition, and immunocompromised status increase your risk of developing this condition.

Each state and territory in Australia has its public dental health program that provides subsidised or free dental services to eligible residents. These services typically focus on priority groups such as children, low-income adults, and individuals with special needs.
Medicare does not cover general dentistry; however, certain specific procedures can receive funding through Medicare under programs such as the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS).
Under the CDBS, some dental services for children can be bulk billed at our clinic.
However, if your child's treatment is more than the funding available, you will have some out-of-pocket expenses to cover to complete the necessary dental treatment.
Please provide the Medicare details below, and we will check the funding available through Medicare's Children's Dental Benefits Scheme for your child.
Our team will check the available funding under the Children’s Dental Benefits Scheme for your child's dental treatment before your next visit.

Cavity Risk | Gum Health | Tooth Sensitivity | Systemic Health Link
Understanding your diet assists us in developing a dental care plan that addresses your unique needs.
Managing the consumption pattern of foods and drinks that contain carbohydrates and acids is key to managing optimal tooth and gum health.
Tooth sensitivity can be related to highly acidic drinks or foods and dissolve the hard tooth surface and irritate already sensitive teeth.
Systemic health (whole body health) is closely linked to oral health, so understanding dietary habits can provide insight into potential systemic issues.
Maintaining good oral hygiene practices such as a balanced diet, regular fluoride use, thorough toothbrushing, consistent flossing, and routine professional dental care can significantly prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
A diet low in sugary and acidic foods reduces the risk of cavities, while fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and prevents decay.
Effective toothbrushing and flossing remove plaque and bacteria, reducing the chances of developing gum disease.
Professional dental care, including regular check-ups and cleanings, can catch dental issues early and provide necessary treatments to maintain oral health.
Combining these practices creates a solid foundation for a healthy mouth and smile.
Using a daily bactericidal mouthwash has both benefits and potential drawbacks, depending on various factors, including the specific formulation of the mouthwash, individual health conditions, and how it is used. Here are some considerations:
Oral Hygiene:
Bactericidal mouthwashes can help reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, which may lead to improved oral hygiene, reduced plaque buildup, and lower risk of gum disease.
Fresh Breath
These mouthwashes often provide a fresh feeling and can help combat bad breath.
Oral Microbiome:
Regularly using strong antibacterial mouthwashes disrupts the natural balance of bacteria in the oral cavity, potentially leading to dry mouth and may impact systemic health in unknown ways.
Taste Changes:
Some people may experience changes in taste perception with long-term use.
Mucosal Irritation:
Certain ingredients might cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals.
Staining:
Some formulations can contribute to staining of teeth over time.
- It’s advisable to consult with a dental care professional before making bactericidal mouthwash part of your daily routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions or concerns about your oral health.
- Consider using these products as directed (often not more than twice daily)
- Do not replace regular brushing and flossing with mouthwash use.
- Look for alcohol-free options for tooth sensitivity issues or dry mouth.
Summary:
While bactericidal mouthwash can be beneficial for maintaining oral hygiene when used appropriately, it's essential to consider individual circumstances and consult with a healthcare provider for personalised advice.
