WHY ARE MY TEETH SENSITIVE? HOW DO I FIX SENSITIVITY?

As the dentist Sydney turns to for sensitive teeth, we know one of the most common causes is tooth decay. This can usually be fixed in a single appointment with absolutely no pain or discomfort.

More serious sensitivity triggers like oral infection, hidden or deep cracks, grinding or severe decay may require our dentists to take a closer look. But don’t worry, Pitt Street Dental Centre know exactly what we’re doing as we perform these procedures every day.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A CHECK-UP FROM A DENTIST IN SYDNEY?

Your personal dental care routine will depend on your specific needs. However at a minimum you should visit your dentist every 6 months for a check-up, and more often if you’re experiencing pain or discomfort.

Beyond that your dentist in Sydney will recommend a suitable schedule to ensure your teeth and gums are kept in the best shape.

HOW DO I GET RID OF MY BAD BREATH?

Bad breath might not just be all the garlic you ate last night. In fact, 50-60% of Australians suffer from halitosis (bad breath) caused by bacteria breakdown in the mouth and nasal passage.

Mouth wash, tongue brushing and sugar-free chewing gum can all help alleviate bad breath. If you find that doesn’t work, book in for a free dental examination today.

WHY DO DENTISTS IN SYDNEY PUT FLUORIDE ON MY TEETH?

As the dentist Sydney comes to for total tooth care, we have a responsibility to keep your teeth strong and healthy. Fluoride (F-) is one of the most powerful tools against tooth decay.

Fluoride protects the surface of your teeth against damage from food acid and speeds up the remineralisation process. That’s why our Sydney dentists always recommend a toothpaste with fluoride and use it in regular check-ups.
