Why dentists ask about your general health 

Understanding your health issues helps us manage your overall dental health. The key to a healthy mouth is to understand that there is a link between what is happening in your mouth and the rest of your body. That’s just one of the reasons (there are more!), as your experienced dental team, we ask you about your general health. 

If it has been 6 months or more since your last dental check up or clean or you are concerned about your dental health please call our friendly receptionist for an appointment 02 4869 3111 

What does a dental hygienist do? 

Dental hygienists are University trained dental health professionals that play an important part in dental health care. They specialise in the prevention and treatment of gum disease and work alongside your dentist to help diagnose any dental issues that need addressing as well as providing a treatment plans designed to support you to keep your mouth healthy. 

Many of you may know that the hygienist’s main role is to clean teeth, known as ‘scaling and polishing’. This is the removal of soft plaque deposits and the hard buildup of tartar followed by a polish to remove any stains and leave the teeth feeling fresh and smooth. 

At Dr Patrick Meaney & Associates, we have highly qualified and dedicated dental hygienists to help you keep your teeth for life! Visit one of our dental hygienists or Moss Vale dentists for a dental check up and cleaning. 

Latest dental technology  

We’re excited to bring the latest dental hygiene technology to Dr Patrick Meaney & Associates. Find out how Swiss-Made EMS AIRFLOW® and a Guided Biofilm Therapy treatment can benefit your smile. 

The AIRFLOW® is an innovative dental hygiene method that uses a gentle, non-contact approach to effectively remove food particles, plaque, and stains from teeth and hard-to-reach areas. By projecting a controlled stream of warm water and fine powder onto the tooth surface, it offers a faster and more comfortable cleaning experience compared to traditional pastes.

When using the AIRFLOW® Prophylaxis Master device, firstly our hygiene team will place a coloured dye onto your teeth to reveal any plaque and biofilm present in your mouth. guiding the cleaning process for better oral health.

Mouthguards

So, you’ve registered for your winter contact sports, paid your fees for insurance and you have a uniform organised. But do you have your Mouth Insurance? A well-made mouthguard that fits properly is a must for any contact sport! It’s like insurance for your teeth! 

We require an appointment to take 2 impressions to allow the mouthguard to be comfortable during play – we make sure your bite is correctly adjusted. At the second appointment, we’ll issue your mouthguard and ensure that it fits properly and is comfortable. Finally, we can also put your mobile number or name in the mouthguard, so you won’t lose it. 

All mouthguards are supplied with a mouthguard container to keep your precious guard safe when not in use.
