Dental Care – What It Means To Our Team At The Good Dentist

Published: November 20, 2023

Family Dental Care

At The Good Dentist, not only do our skilled team understand the significance of family dental for patients of all ages, we are committed to providing comprehensive care. With emphasis on professional quality dental care and patient wellbeing, we strive to create a supportive environment for you at our Newcastle clinic, that prioritises your oral health needs.

Dental Care from an Early Age

The journey towards optimal oral health begins with the eruption of baby teeth, from around the age of 18 months. We believe in instilling good brushing habits, twice daily, from an early age and recommend routine preventative dental check-ups every six months for young children. Our team takes a gentle approach to caring for our youngest patients’ smiles.

Daily Dental Care Routine

Maintaining a daily dental care routine is essential for long-term oral health. We encourage our patients to brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes using fluoridated toothpaste. To enhance your oral hygiene practices further, we provide guidance on flossing techniques and recommend the use of tools like dental floss, pixsters or a waterpik for comprehensive oral care.

The Role of Radiographs

Radiographs play a vital role in monitoring dental development. Through X-rays and imaging, our team can detect and address decay in its early stages, preventing further complications. In younger patients a full mouth X-ray or OPG around the age of 9 can allow us to plan any potential orthodontic treatment and/or check for any missing adult teeth. We prioritise patient safety by using advanced technology and minimising radiation exposure during these procedures.

Preventative Dental Care

By early intervention, we can prevent decay from progressing. Quality dental care focuses on preserving your natural teeth for as long as possible. Our expert team performs simple fillings to halt the progress of cavities. Additionally, for more severe cases, we focus on restorative treatments such as root canal therapy and dental crown procedures to restore teeth to their natural function and health.

Tooth Replacement Options

We understand the importance of timely tooth replacement for oral health. Where a tooth can’t be saved, replacement options should be sought in a timely manner to prevent any tooth movement of adjacent teeth to the space, or the overeruption of opposing teeth, not to mention the maintenance of function and oral health. Dental Implants are considered a comprehensive replacement option.

Important Information for Dental Implants: Dental implants are higher risk cosmetic procedures. All outcomes vary significantly between individuals based on your oral health, bone density, healing capacity, and other personal factors. Treatment involves surgical procedures with associated risks including infection, nerve damage, and implant failure. Recovery time varies between patients. Individual results cannot be guaranteed. Comprehensive consultation with our qualified practitioners is essential for personalised assessment and informed decision-making about implant treatment. 

Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, but at The Good Dentist, Newcastle, you will receive prompt professional attention. Our emergency dental care team is here to provide the support and care you need during such times. Your oral health and comfort are our priority.

Professional Care Environment

We believe dental visits should be approached with understanding and support. Our comfortable environment offers a calm atmosphere to help patients feel more at ease during their dental care clinic visits. At The Good Dentist, we are dedicated to providing professional quality dental care, so you can feel confident in the care you receive throughout your visit.

Beyond Our Dental Care Clinic

Beyond regular dental visits, being proactive in diet choices is essential for maintaining good oral health. We educate our patients on making conscious choices that promote a healthy mouth and prevent tooth decay. Additionally, our dental experts recommend helpful practices like chewing sugar-free gum and rinsing with water for added oral hygiene benefits.
