FAQ

The Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights is a crucial set of outlines that determine the rights of patients and all those who access the Australian health system. We comply with Australian infection control legislation and regulations to ensure that patients are safe and secure when they visit the dentist.

We have strict protocols throughout the entire Centre surrounding infection control, sterilising, and cleaning. When you enter an Optimum Smile Dental, you’ll feel confident knowing that we uphold the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights to the highest standard.

Our primary concern is your well-being, and we can set up an immediate appointment to get you the treatment you need. Oral health issues can strike any time – we’re available when you need an emergency dentist in NSW.

During a visual examination, it’s not always possible for the dentist to detect oral health issues. These include cavities under existing fillings, bone or tissue loss, and any issues with your facial bones or jaw.

X-rays can also reveal hidden dental structures, such as wisdom teeth, which do not present themselves until they have pierced the gum. An x-ray can help your dentist identify and treat issues sooner.

The goal of teething cleaning is to improve your overall gum health. Your dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth and gums to remove bacteria that can cause bad breath.

While a clean can help remove most of the surface stains on your teeth, such as cigarette, alcohol, or coffee stains, it does not change the internal color of your teeth. At Optimum Smile Dental, we offer teeth whitening services that can help restore your brightest smile.

For many, a soft toothbrush is the safest and most comfortable way to brush your teeth. This is because toothbrushes with medium or stiff bristles can damage your gums and the surface of your teeth. Choose a soft toothbrush with angled or multi-layered bristles for the most effective cleaning.

Regular oral care is important. You should brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. This keeps your mouth healthy and prevents bacteria and plaque from building up. However, other dental health issues can arise, even with regular brushing and flossing.

Schedule a checkup with your dentist so they can ensure your oral health is on track and provide early treatment for any issues. Optimum Smile Dental is conveniently located throughout NSW so you can find a local dentist in Sydney.
