Frequently Asked Questions
Why is visiting the dentist important?
Visiting the dentist regularly is important for maintaining good oral health. Not only will this ensure your teeth and mouth healthy, but the rest of your body as well!
- Prevent tooth decay and cavities
- Protect against gum disease and tooth loss
- Catch early signs of more serious health conditions
- Keep your teeth looking bright and feeling strong
- Prevent bad breath and boost confidence
How can I take care of my teeth between check-ups?
Good daily habits do most of the heavy lifting between dental treatments. You can help keep your teeth and gums healthy by:
- Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
- Clean between your teeth daily, with floss or an interdental brush
- Eat a balanced diet and limit sugary snacks
- Brush your tongue and stay hydrated
- Avoid smoking
- Book regular check-ups at Doonan Dental
How often should I see the dentist?
For most patients, a check-up and clean every six months is ideal. Some issues like early tooth decay or gum disease don’t have obvious symptoms, so routine visits help us catch them early. Patients at higher risk of gum disease or oral cancer may benefit from more frequent appointments, which we’ll discuss with you directly.
Should my child see the dentist?
Yes. Children’s dentistry is important and starting dental visits early has real long-term benefits:
- Prevents tooth decay and gum disease from the start
- Teaches kids how to care for their teeth properly
- Helps children feel confident and comfortable at the dentist
- Allows us to monitor jaw development and bite alignment
- Builds positive habits they’ll keep for life
Is my child eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)?
The CDBS provides eligible children aged 0 to 17 with access to Medicare-funded care, up to a capped amount across two calendar years. It covers basic dental services including check-ups, cleans, fillings and extractions. Get in touch and we’ll help you check your child’s eligibility.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
If you’ve chipped a tooth, lost a filling, cracked a crown, or you’re in pain, call our Maleny clinic on 07 5499 9306 and we’ll do everything we can to see you as soon as possible. For urgent after-hours emergencies, please contact your nearest hospital.
