Forget the mess and the discomfort!

Intraoral scanning offers superior comfort and precision compared to traditional impression methods. It offers more alternative options.

A recent study co-authored by one of our own dentists at Mareeba Dental Centre, published in the Journal of Dentistry, found that digital impressions showed significantly lower variation, meaning more accurate, comfortable outcomes.

This is ideal for those patients who need various work done such as crowns, splints, and dentures!

Dental cavities can often be painless, especially if they do not reach the tooth's nerve.

Regular dental check-ups increase the likelihood of catching and treating cavities early, preventing more serious damage.

Whitening toothpaste can effectively remove surface stains from teeth caused by food, drinks, or smoking and is generally safe for daily use.

It works through mild abrasives and whitening agents like hydrogen peroxide, though overuse may lead to tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, or enamel damage.

People with sensitive teeth, allergies to bleaching agents, or dental restorations should avoid it. To maintain oral health, it's important to use fluoride toothpaste, brush and floss daily, limit stain-causing foods, and visit the dentist regularly.

For significant whitening and safety, alternatives like custom-made whitening tray is recommended.

As we approach the footy season, this is the ToothSOS emergency guide summary

If a permanent adult tooth is knocked out:
1) Act fast! Ideally within 20 minutes.
2) Find the tooth and hold it by the crown (top part), not the root.
3) Rinse briefly with water and re-insert it into the socket, even if there is bleeding.
4) Bite gently on gauze or cloth to hold the tooth in place.
5) If re-insertion is not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva (do not let it dry out).
6) See a dentist immediately.

Important: Do not re-insert baby teeth!

Aftercare recommendations:
- Attend follow-up dental visits.
- Keep the injured area clean with gentle brushing or a moist swab.
- Children may face more complications due to ongoing growth.
