Melton Dental Group

A proactive approach is always necessary when it comes to maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. That’s why regular dental visits are important, and we recommend scheduling an appointment with our dentist at least every 6 months. However, depending on your specific needs, we may recommend more frequent visits if you suffer from severe infections or dental conditions.

Visiting the dentist doesn’t just allow us to thoroughly clean your teeth,it helps us to detect dental conditions in their early stages and develop treatment plans accordingly. With preventative dentistry, we can protect you from the most common dental issues, and you can avoid discomfort, pain, and hefty costs down the road.

While visiting your dentist for regular checkups, taking care of your teeth and oral health at home is equally important. Here are some things you can do:

• Brush your teeth twice a day
• Floss your teeth daily, preferably at night
• Avoid diets high in sugar or carbohydrates
• Avoid foods and drinks that are acidic

Incorporate these good habits into your daily routine, and you’ll be on your way to achieving good oral hygiene and a beautiful smile.

At Melton Dental Group, we offer a comprehensive range of dental treatments that address a number of problems. Our dentists are well-equipped and dedicated towards treating issues ranging from common to complex.

Whether you require general dental services such as dental checkups, cleanings, fillings, or wisdom tooth extractions, or you’re looking to enhance and transform your smile with cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, or dental implants, we have you covered. From straightforward procedures to emergencies like root canal treatments, we offer all this and more to ensure optimal oral health and confident smiles.

If you want to restore your smile simply schedule a consultation with us. Our team will assess your oral health and create an individualised treatment plan based on your needs.

If you have a dental emergency, the best thing to do is to seek prompt dental care. This will help manage the pain and prevent the condition from escalating into something more severe.

We provide emergency dentistry services because we understand the need for immediate attention and care. In the case of an emergency, we urge you to remain calm and reach out to us immediately if you experience any of the following:

• Pain
• Swelling
• Broken dental work/restorations
• Loose or damaged teeth
• Broken/knocked-out teeth

We’re always here to help you through any dental emergencies.

Do you find yourself putting off your dental appointments because the idea of visiting the dentist makes you anxious? We understand, but it’s important to seek necessary dental care and prioritise your oral health to avoid possible costly and painful complications in the future.

We will take the time to talk to you about your fears and concerns and then walk you through the entire treatment process in order to make sure you feel relaxed. In addition, we also offer sedation dentistry to help you feel at ease during treatment.

The best age for your children to start visiting the dentist is once they get their first tooth and no later than the age of one. Early dental visits are important for several reasons.

Firstly, it allows your child to become familiar with the dentist and the clinic. This will help build a positive association with dental care and can help reduce dental anxiety in the future. Secondly, these visits will allow your dentist to monitor your child’s tooth development and identify issues early on. In addition, these visits are also an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on proper oral hygiene practices for their children.

Remember, by instilling the importance of proper oral hygiene early on, you can lay the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Trust us to take care of your child’s smile with our children’s dentistry services!

Toothaches aren’t just uncomfortable to deal with – they can be downright unbearable, making it hard to eat, sleep or focus on anything else. Whether it’s due to tooth decay, a fracture or trauma, finding relief is your top priority. That starts with seeking professional dental care ASAP!

But while you’re waiting to see our emergency dentist at Melton Dental, here are some immediate steps to help relieve the pain:

• Rinse your mouth with lukewarm salt water to clean the affected area.
• Carefully brush and floss between your teeth to remove any food particles lodged between your teeth.
• Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. This will help reduce inflammation and ease the pain temporarily.
• Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek near the affected area to reduce swelling and numb the pain.
• Avoid eating hard, sticky, chewy or extremely hot and cold foods and drinks to avoid aggravating your pain.
• Elevate your head while sleeping.

Remember, these tips are just for temporary relief. Don’t forget to visit our dentist for a thorough examination and treatment to address the root cause of your pain.

At Melton Dental, we are all about preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. But sometimes, extraction is the best option–especially if you’re dealing with an impacted wisdom tooth or severe decay/infection.

So, how much does it cost? Well, that depends on a few factors like how many teeth need extraction, the type of sedation and the complexity of the extraction. Because of this, it’s tricky to give you an exact number without first assessing your smile. When you visit us for a consultation, we will assess your mouth and provide a detailed cost breakdown so you know what to expect.

Proper dental care at home can do wonders for your oral and overall health. Here are some tips to achieve a healthy smile at home:

• Brush your teeth using a soft-bristled toothbrush twice a day for two minutes.
• Use a fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss your teeth to remove bacteria and plaque from your teeth.
• Eat smile-friendly foods like cheese, yoghurt, crunchy fruits, eggs and lean meats.
• Avoid sugary and acidic drinks and hard and starchy foods.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

While these steps help you maintain your smile, they can’t replace professional dental care. So, make sure to visit us for regular dental check-ups every 6 months to keep your smile healthy and bright!
