How to Treat Sensitive Teeth

6/30/2016

0 Comments

 
Tooth sensitivity can occur as a result of a number of dental issues. Eating different foods can make you more aware of the sensitivity. There are a number of things you can do to relieve your symptoms. For any dental issues you should see your dentist to make sure there are no serious underlying problems. Here’s how to treat sensitive teeth.
 
Look after Your Teeth
It’s so important to take care of your teeth. Make sure you have a good dental routine and brush, floss and rinse on a daily basis. Ensure you are using the right techniques by discussing these with your dental hygienist. When cleaning your teeth you should be thorough to clean your entire mouth. Have the right equipment for the job and use a soft toothbrush to gently brush being cautious of your gums so as not to damage them. You can use toothpaste that is specifically for sensitive teeth. Try out different ones to see which offers the most relief. Following this you should rinse with mouthwash that contains fluoride and antiseptic. Dental products containing fluoride are essential for treating sensitive teeth. Your dentist will be able to advise which products might be best for you.
 
Think about What You Eat
Consider everything you eat as you don’t want to trigger your tooth sensitivity further. Highly acidic foods and drinks such as citrus fruits, tomato based foods, coffee and wine should be avoided. Acidic foods weaken tooth enamel, which leads to sensitivity. Your teeth may feel sensitive after a dental procedure such as wisdom tooth extraction so soft foods are great to help with the recovery. Watching what you eat can help alleviate symptoms.

Stop Grinding Your Teeth
Grinding your teeth is a terrible habit for your teeth. It could be related to stress, anxiety or may only happen at night. Get to the cause of the problem and make sure you nip it in the bud. If you’re having trouble at night, wear a mouth guard to prevent you from grinding your teeth. This habit wears down your tooth enamel which exposes the dentine. When you eat hot, cold, sweet or acidic foods you will experience this sensitivity.

Regular Dental Check Ups
You should be seeing your dentist every 6 months regardless of any dental issues for the best form of prevention. However, if you experience tooth sensitivity you may need to see your dentist more often to address the cause of the problem. Your dentist can advise you on what products to use, dental hygiene practices and ways to stop grinding your teeth if this is a problem. If you just use products designed for sensitive teeth then you aren’t addressing the source of the problem. The dentist can advise what is causing the sensitivity and offer dental treatment in some cases.
 
You can experience tooth sensitivity for a number of reasons so it’s always best to check in with your dentist to find the cause of the problem. Your dentist can advise if any dental treatment is necessary. Otherwise using products specifically designed for sensitive teeth can help. Avoiding acidic foods and teeth grinding is advisable. Maintaining dental hygiene is essential to prevent and treat oral health problems.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Costs And How To Do It Inexpensively

6/21/2016

0 Comments

 
Dental health care in Australia isn’t cheap and many Australians avoid visiting the dentist altogether due to the costs involved. Medicare is very limited when it comes to dental work and private health insurance can help reduce the out of pocket component. There’s no one size fits all when it comes to wisdom tooth removal costs and prices can greatly vary depending on the complexity of the case.
 
What You Can Expect to Pay
 
For a straightforward extraction the average cost is between $130 and $200 per tooth. A general dentist at their dental clinic can carry out this basic type of wisdom teeth removal. A more complex procedure can cost around $295 to $400 per tooth. This cost includes local anaesthetic and can’t be performed by a general dentist. They will have specialised wisdom tooth removal training to perform this procedure. In some cases you are required to have sedatives or general anaesthesia during the process and require an oral surgeon. In this scenario you can expect to pay from $1500 up to $3000.
 
Dental Health Insurance
 
If you have private health insurance check what you are covered for when it comes to dental health. Find a provider under your insurance scheme as they can determine the fees that your dentist charges you for wisdom tooth removal. This greatly reduces your out of pocket expenses. However, you should read through your policy, as this is not always the case. Some health insurance providers let the dentists charge what they like for complex procedures and can only control the costs of simple dental work.
 
Shop Around
 
Just like with most things it pays to shop around. The charges vary so much as there are no regulations on the costing for dental work. Shop around for a reputable dentist or oral surgeon and get the best price. You’ll be surprised how much the quotes can vary by. Where you are based will also have an impact. Costs vary from state to state and from city to rural regions. It depends on competition and resources so if you can get to the city you’ll ultimately pay less. Look for specials or payment plans to make it a more affordable procedure.
 
Complexity of the Extraction
 
How much you will pay will ultimately depend on how complicated the procedure is going to be. If you look for a wisdom tooth removal specialist they can often offer you a better price than if you went through your dentist. There are plenty around and a simple web search will give you a number of listings you can try. If you can, try and get them removed sooner rather than later as this may reduce the complexity of your case and the costs involved.
