Some patients only visit the dentist when something goes wrong. As a result, they spend time and money treating conditions the dentist could have prevented through recurring visits. Unfortunately, extended time in the dental chair and money for ongoing treatment may be the best-case scenario if you skip too many dental visits.
In other words, the mouth is the gateway to the body, and when you neglect your dental health, you put your overall wellness at risk, too. No one understands this more than your holistic dentist in Prahran.

Your teeth are meant to last a lifetime, but they begin to fail without regular dental maintenance and upkeep. Also, oral health conditions can cost you your teeth and much more. For example, studies now link periodontal disease (gum disease) to a whole host of systemic complications, including:
Lack of appropriate dental care is a common cause of gum disease. Fortunately, recurring dental visits can spot gum disease in its early, gingivitis stage, which is still reversible.
In the advanced periodontitis stage, the condition is only treatable. However, recurring treatment is crucial to mitigate your risks for the associated complications.
Today, we're going to address a serious topic that not many people consider. Did you know that your tooth and, particularly, your gum health impacts the health of your entire body? Did you know that if you suffer from periodontal (gum) disease, you're more likely to develop non-dental health concerns ...

At Lifetime Dental, we customise your dental treatment to meet you where you are in your oral health. So, recurring checks and cleans are typically yearly or twice-yearly.
Periodontal maintenance visits will vary by patient and according to the complexity or severity of the disease.
Dental check-ups allow us to catch emerging dental health issues early or prevent them altogether. Hygiene appointments help us rid your teeth of the ingredients that lead to tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, new tooth stains, and oral infections. We pick up where your toothbrush leaves off--brushing and flossing alone are simply not enough.
No matter the reason for your recurring visit, you can count on gentle treatments that incorporate biocompatible and non-toxic materials whenever possible. Our compassionate team is concerned with whole-body wellness and uniquely understands the mouth/body balance, or how oral health contributes to physical health and vice versa.
Our goal is your healthy smile and wellness. So, we welcome your call on (03) 9510 1644 to learn more or to book your next recurring visit with the dentist or oral health therapist.
