How often should I see a dentist?

Dentists recommend that you attend a regular check-up and oral hygiene clean once every six months. Depending on your individual needs, your dentist may recommend recurring visits more frequently or less frequently, such as every nine to 12 months. During your check-up, your dentist will look at your oral hygiene and diet, the health of your teeth, lips, gums, and any risk of gum disease, signs of tooth wear and the alignment of your teeth, jaws and bite.

What are the alternatives to wisdom tooth removal?

If our dentists check your wisdom teeth and are happy with the way they are growing, we may recommend over-the-counter pain medication to help you manage the pain and discomfort and we'll monitor the tooth to check that it comes through normally. We may also prescribe antibiotics to treat an infection if there is one present. For some over eruptions or partial eruptions of wisdom teeth, we may recommend removing part of the tooth or some of the gum tissue covering the tooth rather than extracting the whole tooth. We'll make sure you know all your options so you can decide what's best for you.

How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?

The cost of wisdom tooth removal in Perth can vary depending on the number of teeth to be extracted and the type of sedation required. EVP Dental have agreements with two dedicated anaesthetists. This means for patients with private health insurance hospital cover (having served waiting periods and not exceeded yearly limits), the excess cost for the anaesthetist and hospital may be minimal. For patients without hospital cover, IV sedation can also be an affordable cost alternative for wisdom tooth removal and can be administered at our practice or at Southbank Day Surgery.

Professional teeth whitening treatments provided under the supervision of a qualified and registered dentist is unlikely to cause damage to healthy teeth.

As teeth are porous, it's possible for teeth to dehydrate and become sensitive immediately after in-chair whitening. However, this condition is temporary as teeth become rehydrated after 2 to 7 days.

Your dentist will provide you with after-care instructions at your appointment on how to look after your smile. If you're concerned about increased tooth sensitivity, ask your dentist about a sensitive toothpaste to use.

In-chair teeth whitening that is professionally done by a registered dentist is the safest and quickest way to whiten teeth, it also contains a high concentration of bleaching agent (up to 25% hydrogen peroxide). A dentist is able to check your suitability for whitening, show you the shade you can expect to achieve through treatment and perform the treatment safely – that means properly protecting your gums, soft tissues and any sensitive areas like cracks, receding gums or worn edges that might not be obvious to the untrained eye.

Take home whitening kits can be just as effective when provided under the supervision of your dentist. Home kits contain lower concentrations of bleaching agent (up to 6% by Australian law) so it takes longer to achieve the same result as it would in the chair. EVP Dental uses the #1 patient requested whitening brand Philips ZOOM! which is more cost-effective than in-chair whitening using the same brand.

Take-home teeth whitening kits provided by a dentist are very safe and effective. There are many online retail outlets selling home whitening products that don’t work or that may pose a risk to patients who are not suitable for teeth whitening. When used inappropriately, these DIY whitening kits can cause irreversible damage to teeth and gums.
