We understand this is time of virtual reality. However when it comes to dental health we take it very seriously. We would like to talk to you about the concern and would be able to give a rough range of dental costs or prices. Please try to undertand that It’s very hard to quote over the phone without the dentist seeing exactly what your dental needs are. Consequently, we can’t give you a quote over the phone. But once you visit the dental office, the dentist can properly assess the situation, provide treatment options, and their respective quotes so that you can make an informed decision.

If you are with a health fund we can give you the item numbers so you can ask your fund what rebate you will get for your treatment.

We also have Afterpay and humm payment plan available for a flexible interest-free instalment plan. For more information please call our team at 07 3886 0933.

There are many excellent ways to whiten the teeth and all have advantages and disadvantages. Since each case is different there is no one best way.

When staining is present on the surface, the dentist can professionally clean the teeth, often producing a fresher, whiter appearance.

On the other hand, when staining is actually in the tooth, below the surface, there are a number of ways to whiten the teeth. Sometimes simply replacing old, worn out fillings that are failing at the edges can produce better looking front teeth. Alternatively, when the enamel is heavily stained, crowns or facings may be the best option. Dentists have access to continuing education in the latest dental techniques and they can give advice as to the best choices for you.

Toothache:

A toothache is always a sign that you need to see a dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime you can take pain killers if necessary, if you cannot get to a dentist see your GP for antibiotics, but before you finish your antibiotic course see your local Kallangur Dental team because antibiotics can only stop the infection for few days. If its not treated in time the infection becomes more aggressive.

Knocked out tooth:

If dirty, rinse tooth in milk holding it by the crown (not roots). If not available use water (few seconds only), then put the tooth back in the socket. If the tooth cannot be replanted, wrap in Glad Wrap or place it in milk. Come to your Kallangur dentist within 30 minutes if you can. Time is critical for successful replanting.

Broken tooth:

Try to clean debris from the injured area with warm water. If caused by a blow, place a cold compress on the face next to the injured tooth to minimize swelling. Visit the dentist at Kallangur Dental Surgery as soon as possible.
