If you are undergoing treatment for cancer, particularly the use of chemotherapy or radiation, you should ensure you visit your dentist in Toorak as early as possible. Our Toorak dentists at Simply Smiles Dental know what you are going through as we see patients in your situation often.
It is important that you receive dental care before and during your treatment as this will prevent serious oral complications later on.
“Prevention is better than a cure” is not an uncommon expression and this is especially true when it comes to your general health and your teeth.
Preventative Dentistry is all about keeping your mouth healthy which means you will have less need for lengthy and costly dental treatment down the track.
Whilst you may think that regular brushing and flossing at home are enough prevention, you would be surprised that you are most likely missing those areas below the gum line, inside the fine ridges on surfaces and in between your teeth. Patients are often alarmed when we show them the tartar buildup behind their lower front teeth despite their diligent brushing.
