A Common Oral Care Problem
More commonly, we treat patients suffering from tooth pain that’s related to severe tooth decay.
Fortunately, tooth decay is preventable because it’s heavily influenced by lifestyle. This includes how well you take care of your teeth, what you eat, and whether or not your toothpaste or water has fluoride in it. However, heredity can also play a role in tooth decay in terms of how susceptible your teeth may be.
Generally speaking, cavities are more common among children, however, adults are still at risk.
The different types of cavities include:
Coronal: The most common type of cavity found in both adults and children, this type of cavity is usually found between the teeth or on the chewing surface.
Root: As we get older, our gums begin to recede, which leaves parts of the root exposed. Because there’s no enamel left to cover the roots, these areas are very prone to cavities.
Recurrent decay: This type of decay can form around existing crowns and fillings. These areas are known to accumulate plaque, which can result in decay.
Adults who suffer from dry mouth will be at a higher risk of cavities.
Educating Patients Our Patients on Proper Oral Care
It’s our job to educate our patients, whether they’re adults, or children, regarding the right and wrong way to brush their teeth and the importance of oral hygiene. You’d be surprised to learn that by simply using the wrong brushing technique you can open yourself up to tooth decay, even if you brush regularly.
Our dental technicians will demonstrate the correct methods to use to ensure your teeth remain clean, strong, and healthy.

How We Can Help
Our highly trained staff will be able to tell for certain whether you have cavities. Cavities will develop below the surface of the tooth, where they aren’t visible to the naked eye. When you consume foods that contain carbs, the carbs are consumed by the bacteria in the plaque, which produces acids that begin to dissolve the tooth. Over a period of months, if left untreated, the enamel starts to break down under the surface even though the surface appears to be intact. When enough of the enamel is consumed, the surface will start collapsing, resulting in a cavity.
This type of common dental procedure can often be treated on the same day as your initial visit. We offer fast, effective treatment that’s designed to immediately boost your oral health and relieve tooth pain.
Other procedures, including tooth extractions and emergency root canals, may be necessary if you’re suffering from severe chronic pain.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry procedures include many specialized procedures that are designed to whiten and brighten your teeth. Often, these treatments will require a return visit.
Prior to treatment, the dentist must first determine whether or not your teeth are healthy enough to undergo certain cosmetic dentistry procedures. This means no cavities, cracks, or chips, and no signs of infection.
Basic cosmetic dentistry procedures such as teeth whitening can make the enamel on your teeth more sensitive, which is why your teeth need to be healthy and strong before you can undergo any type of cosmetic dental procedure.
When It’s an Emergency, We’ll Be by Your Side
A dental emergency can happen to any of us, whether you crack a tooth, a filling falls out, you lose a crown, or can no longer stand the pain that comes with chewing, we’re here to help treat the problem and relieve your pain immediately.
We’ll do our best to fit you in right away. If you’re in need of serious dental work, our dentist will do whatever they can to relieve your pain quickly and schedule the soonest appointment for your dental procedure.
As we’ve mentioned, severe decay is one of the leading causes of tooth pain. In some cases, the decay is so severe that the tooth must be extracted immediately in order to avoid an abscess or serious infection. Our team of dentists is prepared for emergency extraction procedures when necessary, or the dentist may need to prescribe a round of antibiotics prior to an extraction in order to treat an existing infection.
Our goal is to get our patients out of tooth related pain immediately and safely.

Consultations
Before treatment can begin, your first step on the road to better oral health is a consultation with one of our leading dentists.
During your first visit, you’ll be welcomed by our receptionist and asked to fill out the required paperwork, which will help our team to learn important information regarding your oral health and medical history. At this time, you’ll also need to fill out other required forms regarding past medical and dental procedures, and the reason for your visit with us today.
Our dentist will then speak with you, asking specific questions regarding your oral care habits, and any concerns you may have.
X-Rays
X-rays may be required during this visit, in order to allow us to fully evaluate your teeth. However, the need for x-rays is always done on a case by case basis.
After the x-rays, you’ll have a total dental exam.
Once the x-rays have been taken and your oral exam is complete the dentist will give you a report of their findings and recommend the appropriate treatments based on the results.
General Cleaning
Treatment can include an ultrasonic cleaning, and if needed, treatments for cavities, dental extractions, or a root canal. We also offer emergency dental care which can be done the same day.
Helping Patients Deal with Dental Phobias
Many people experience some level of fear when it’s time to visit the dentist. In fact, it’s one of the leading reasons why people fail to see their dentist regularly.
There are a few different types of dental phobias:
- Trypanophobia
- Odontophobia
- Dentophobia
These phobias are connected to receiving dental care, dentists, and dentistry in general. Regardless of which type of dental phobia a patient suffers from, all three share some commonalities in regard to how they developed the phobia in the first place. The most common cause of any type of dental phobia is a bad dental experience. During these bad experiences, the dental hygienist or dentist does not treat the patient gently. There are even some studies that have shown that eighty percent of dental phobias are triggered by traumatic experiences. If you had a bad experience in the past with your old dentist then it can cause you great reluctance to receive the dental care you need.
At local dentist Australia, we’re trained to deal with patients who suffer from dental phobias. Our staff is very careful, patient and gentle. We also understand that a bad dental experience can make it difficult to undergo painful procedures, which is why our dentists will thoroughly explain each procedure and what you can expect in regard to the length of the procedure, what level of pain can be expected after, and detailed aftercare instructions that will prevent any unnecessary pain. As a caring dental facility, it’s our hope that you’ll give dental care another chance.
We even offer sedation for certain types of painful or traumatic dental procedures including deep cleans, root canals, and cavity filling for teeth that are severely decayed. If needed, you can even make multiple appointments to have your dental work performed in shorter sessions.
We make it our goal to meet the needs of each and every patient, and we’ll work with you to ensure you’re comfortable and satisfied with your treatment.
Client Testimonials
Client satisfaction is very important to us. Without our clients, we wouldn’t be such a success in the community and continue to thrive and grow. We have also made it our mission to educate our clients on the importance of good oral hygiene and how they can benefit from routine cleanings and care. As you’ll see below, we work with patients that have a variety of oral care needs, and we specialize in both adult and child dental care.
Severe Tooth Pain
I was suffering from tooth pain for months. I had cracked a tooth and simply couldn’t afford to get treatment at the time, so instead of getting help right away, I made the mistake of waiting too long, until the pain became so unbearable I couldn’t even eat. The dentists here did a great job of examining me in a manner that didn’t make the pain worse and set up an appointment that same day to have the tooth extracted. The relief was immediate. Now, I make sure I schedule regular cleanings and checkups. If you’ve ever had a bad experience with a dentist in the past, I recommend you go here where the staff is very professional, gentle, and friendly.

Kid Friendly
Amanda is six and is absolutely terrified of the dentist. Just bringing up her appointment gave her anxiety. When the time came, and we entered the office, the staff right away recognized that Amanda had anxiety and did a great job of redirecting her, explaining how the dental equipment works and reassuring her that they’d take great care of her, and they did. I’d highly recommend this dental practice to any parents who have children that have a fear of the dentist and are in need of a team that’s very experienced in working with young children.

Dentures
My teeth have been in horrible condition for years. I knew it was time to get dentures, but the entire process seemed very long, painful and embarrassing. I met with their lead dentist who explained that my new dentures would be available the same day as the extractions were performed. This had been a huge concern of mine, so I was so relieved to learn that I wouldn’t have to wait for my dentures to be ready for several weeks after the extractions. While I can’t say it was a fun experience, I can say that this team did an excellent job of ensuring I wasn’t in any pain during or after the procedure. They were also willing to see me anytime I needed to go in to have my dentures adjusted so that they fit perfectly. Overall, this is a great place, staff is excellent. Highly recommend.
