Preventive Dentistry
For most people—children and adults alike—a professional clean and comprehensive exam every six months is the sweet spot. Here’s why that twice-yearly rhythm works so well at Tatura Dental Care:
1. Remove Tartar and Decay-Causing Bacteria
Even the best brushing can’t dislodge hardened tartar. Our ultrasonic scalers whisk it away before it irritates gums or breeds decay-causing bacteria.
2. Early Detection = Easier Fixes
Small cavities, hairline cracks and gum inflammation can be reversed or repaired quickly when spotted early. Postpone checks, and minor issues turn into root canals or extractions.
3. Personalised Prevention
At each visit, we update digital x-rays, assess your diet, medications and lifestyle changes, then tailor advice—whether that’s fluoride gels for low enamel strength or sealants to protect children’s molars.
4. Whole-Body Benefits
Oral bacteria link to heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications. Regular cleans reduce systemic inflammation and promote overall wellbeing.
Exceptions to the Rule
- High-risk patients—smokers, diabetics, orthodontic wearers—may benefit from three- or four-month intervals.
- Kids under six often need more frequent fluoride applications as teeth erupt.
- Implant and denture wearers require specialised maintenance we schedule case-by-case basis.
We Make It Easy
Our recall system sends friendly SMS reminders, and appointments include a polish, fluoride treatment and plenty of time for questions. Stick with the six-month routine and you’ll save money, avoid surprises and keep that Tatura smile bright for life.
