frequently asked questions

How often should I get a dental check-up?

Most patients benefit from a check-up and clean every six months. If you’ve had gum disease or are more cavity-prone, your dentist may recommend every three to four months. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what we see — not a generic schedule.

Does a scale and clean hurt?

Our cleans are designed to be comfortable. If you have sensitivity, tell your dentist before they start — they’ll adjust. Most patients are surprised how gentle it is.

What if the dentist finds something?
We walk you through what we’ve found, explain your options clearly, and don’t proceed with anything until you’ve said yes. That’s it. Completely unhurried.
Can preventive care help with bad breath?
Yes. A clean removes the bacteria that typically cause bad breath. If there’s something else contributing, your dentist will flag it and walk you through the options.
Why attend if my teeth feel fine?
Many early concerns — including gum changes and micro-cracks — develop without any pain. A gentle check-up simply keeps you ahead of anything that might need attention later.
Do you bulk bill preventive care for children?
We participate in the Medicare Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Eligible children aged 2–17 can access up to $1,158 in covered dental services over a two-year period — including check-ups and cleans.
Is preventive care available at all three clinics?
Yes. Check-ups, cleans and X-rays are available at our Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Taree clinics. Call whichever location is closest to book.
