What to expect
from this service.
Prevention is the most cost-effective form of dental care. Our preventive services are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, catch issues early, and reduce the need for complex treatments down the track.
At Alfredton Dental, preventive care includes professional cleans, oral cancer screening, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, fissure sealants, and custom mouthguards. We also invest time in educating every patient about effective home care.
01
Stop Problems Before They Start
Prevention is the most cost-effective dental care. Regular cleans and screenings catch issues when they are simple and inexpensive to treat.
02
Oral Cancer Screening
We screen all soft tissues at every visit — a quick, painless check that can be genuinely life-saving when done consistently.
03
Strengthen Your Enamel
Fluoride treatments reinforce enamel against acid attack, reducing cavity risk for patients of all ages.
04
Protect What Matters
Custom mouthguards and occlusal splints shield your teeth from sport injuries and the damage caused by grinding at night.
Why patients choose
this treatment.
01
Professional Cleans
Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone can't reach, protecting your gums and teeth between visits.
02
Oral Cancer Screening
We screen all soft tissues at every visit — a quick, painless check that can be genuinely life-saving when done consistently.
03
Fluoride Treatments
Applied directly to the teeth, fluoride reinforces enamel against acid attack and significantly reduces cavity risk.
04
Fissure Sealants
A protective resin coating seals the deep grooves in back teeth where decay most commonly starts.
05
Custom Mouthguards
We make sport mouthguards and nightguards for grinding — precisely fitted for comfort and maximum protection.
FAQs
Common questions
answered.
01What happens during a professional clean?
Our hygienist removes plaque and tartar build-up from all surfaces of your teeth, including below the gumline. Your teeth are then polished and you receive personalised home care advice.
02Do I really need fluoride treatments as an adult?
Fluoride benefits patients of all ages. We recommend it for adults at higher risk of decay — those with dry mouth, high sugar intake, frequent acid exposure, or a history of cavities.
03What are the signs of gum disease?
Bleeding gums when brushing, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth can all indicate gum disease. Early treatment is far simpler than managing advanced periodontitis.
04I grind my teeth at night. What can you do?
We can make a custom-fitted occlusal splint (nightguard) to protect your teeth from the damage caused by grinding (bruxism). We will also discuss the causes and potential management options.
05How often should I have X-rays?
Most adults benefit from bitewing X-rays every 12–24 months, depending on their cavity risk. We only take X-rays when clinically necessary and use low-dose digital sensors.
