Nice to Know

The internet is a favourite place to go for general dental information. Visit the FAQs page of the Australian Dental Association (ADA) website to find out more about your teeth and available procedures.

Self-education is the key to taking control of your general and dental health. Increasing your knowledge base gives you confidence in making decisions that are cost effective over time. Seeking health care early prevents the pain of unexpected toothache and the inconvenience of attending unscheduled dental appointments.

Often we may need a little extra knowledge to boost our confidence to make an appointment. It may be more convenient to choose your own appointment time now than to have to make an inconvenient emergency appointment later.
Your questions need genuine answers.

• How much do I have to pay for a filling?
• What are the payment options?
• How long is an examination appointment?
• How can I get my denture fixed, cleaned?
• Will the procedure hurt?
• Can I bring my children in to the surgery?
• Why can’t I get the calculus off my own teeth?
• Why am I afraid of the dentist?

A good start to taking control of your dental health fears or questions is to ring for an appointment and get as many answers as you can from Dental On Eyre Team Members. Some questions require thorough consultation to ensure the information provided is accurate, in which case an initial examination appointment may be recommended.
