East Melbourne Dentistry
Look after your teeth and they will last as long as you.
General dentistry in Melbourne is about maintaining the health of your teeth and gums so that they continue to provide the function that they were made for.
Tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss can all be prevented with a proper daily oral hygiene programme as well as regular check-ups at your East Melbourne dentist. Regular check-ups will identify issues early and avoid some of the major dental procedures outlined in this section.
You can avoid the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss by following a few basic rules such as:
- Maintain a good oral hygiene: Brushing at least twice a day and introducing regular flossing to improve the health of gums
- Follow a low sugar diet. Avoiding soft drinks, bottled juices and everyday snacks is not only good for your health, but good for your teeth and gums too.
- Wear a mouthguard when playing sport
- Regular visits to the dentist.
If you can follow these basic rules then your teeth should stay with you as long as you need them.
