Looking after your teeth and gums with our general dentist

Visiting our general dentist Glenside on a regular basis with all of your family is a great way to enjoy good dental health and beautiful, happy smiles. This is our philosophy here at Glenside Dental. We recommend that you visit our general dentist Glenside at least once every six months and more often if you develop more plaque and tartar on your teeth than usual or suffer from gum disease. By visiting our general dentist Glenside on a regular basis we can help you prevent dental health complications such as cavities, tooth decay, gum disease and periodontal disease. We will make sure that your teeth are clean and healthy and that your gums are strong. Avoiding the dentist for long periods of time means that plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth and weaken them, resulting in an increased chance of developing cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. Bacteria in the plaque and tartar secrete acids and toxins which can cause irreversible damage and eventually result in missing teeth.

Healthy teeth and gums


To avoid losing teeth you need to make regular visits with our dentist and maintain good dental hygiene at home. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing at least once, using a suitable mouthwash, eating the right food and drink and making good lifestyle choices. A poor diet and poor lifestyle choices such as smoking and excessive drinking can be very harmful for your teeth and gums and increase your chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease. Good dental hygiene, healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle is an excellent method of preventive dental care. Speak to our dentist for tailored dental health advice for you and your family.


General dental treatment


If you are suffering from dental health complications then our dentist will be able to put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. We offer a full range of general dental treatments. We can help treat cavities and tooth decay with fillings, root canal treatment, same-day crowns and even tooth replacement. We can reverse the signs of gum disease with a scale and polish, deep cleaning or gum surgery where necessary, and we also carry out emergency dental treatment including tooth extractions. It is important that you contact us as soon as possible if you have any worrying signs or symptoms, as the earlier you visit us the less complicated the treatment will be and the quicker you can begin recovery.
