Not everyone gets them, and that’s normal. Whether or not you have wisdom teeth, is not the problem. The dental problem is when the wisdom tooth is impacted.

Despite your teeth being the hardest substance in your body (harder than bone!), they can still suffer damages. This is part of the natural life cycle of teeth. Everyone goes through the aging process, although some lifestyle choices are to blame for the early onset of this condition.

Anxious about pain and discomfort? Are you putting off your dental check-ups because you dread going to the dentist? Do you envision the dental tools as machinery drilling into your mouth? If you answer YES to these questions, then you might have dental anxiety.

No worries! That is nothing to be embarrassed about. According to the University of Adelaide in their Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, “high dental fear affects approximately one in six Australian adults and about one in ten children”

The responsibility to educate these little minds falls in the hands of the parents, and the dental community. As parents, you have to carefully select the right Mandurah dentist, and that is no small feat! Everyone claims to offer the best so it’s challenging to find the right one.

A dental filling is restorative dental equipment that addresses a number of dental problems plaguing your teeth. Currently, there are a variety of materials used for a dental filling.

At Platinum Smile our dentists choose not to use mercury fillings due to their negative effect on your health and the environment. You have a choice of resin or gold to fill your tooth. Your dentist can discuss the best option in the clinic at the time of your appointment.

Root canal treatment is intricate, complex work, dealing with very fine nerve canals in one or more of your teeth. It is a dental procedure that saves your natural tooth from extraction by removing the infected dental pulp.

The success rate of root canal treatment is generally high. Those who undergo the procedure can expect 90-95% success rate, with the tooth lasting a long time with proper care and good oral hygiene.

Happy gas or Nitrous oxide (N2O), is a widely used local sedation technique that effectively relaxes patients and create feelings of pleasure.

The gas is colorless and odorless and is safe for both adults and children. Administered under the supervision of your trained dentist Mandurah, happy gas quickly eases dental anxiety.
