At Mareeba Dental Centre we are very proud of our preventive services.
Our team is dedicated to providing quality care to help you achieve healthy teeth and gums for life. We are able to achieve this through our Preventive Care Program.
What is the Preventive Care Program?
Our Preventive Care Program consists of routine thorough dental examinations with Dr Broesder or Dr Aquino, coupled with day to day oral hygiene techniques performed by the patient. During your initial consultation we will discuss with you the best dental hygiene techniques for your individual needs.
We also recommend the following steps for healthy teeth and gums;
- Use a soft toothbrush with rounded bristles
- Replace your toothbrush every three to four months
- Brush twice daily
- Use toothpaste with fluoride
- Floss once daily
- Avoid tobacco products
- Avoid excessive alcohol use
- Minimize the intake of highly acidic and / or sugary drinks (e.g. Softdrinks – esp. black cola drinks)
- Drink lots of water to keep hydrated
Prevention is always better than cure, so participating in our Preventive Care Program will ensure less toothaches and expense.
In cases where the gum disease is too advanced for general dental treatment referral to our resident periodontist Dr Brian James will be arranged.
