1. check-ups & digital x-rays

Dr Angela recommends that everyone has a check-up every six months. This
regular care is important as dental concerns can develop rapidly. By
addressing any early signs of cavities, decay or even gum disease, you can
save your natural teeth, as well as your time and money. Each check-up
includes an examination, scale, clean and fluoride treatment.

2. scaling and cleaning

A scale and clean will remove plaque from hard to reach places that you haven’t been able to reach whilst cleaning yourself.  More importantly a scale and clean will remove the build up of calulus, also known as tartar.  This is a hard calcified buildup which brushing and flossing won’t remove.

3. white fillings

Tooth decay arises as a result of bacterial fermentation of food debris on the tooth surface, resulting in the demineralisation of the tooth structure.  This causes the tooth structure to soften and eventually sees the formation of a cavity.  A filling can be used to restore the tooth’s structure once all decay has been removed.

4. extractions

A tooth extraction may be required for a number of reasons, the most common reason being as a result of decay. Leaving a tooth to decay to this point limits your treatment options and increases the likelihood of an extraction being required.  When an extraction is required you can be assured that our experienced dentists will minimise any discomfort associated with the procedure.

5. root canal treatment

A root canal treatment is removal of a damaged or dead nerve from a tooth to remove infection and prevent pain. Aglow Dental Group recommends the treatment be undertaken over a number of visits to more effectively monitor the procedures progress and improve the probability of a successful result.
