FAQschevron down

What does fluoride do to teeth?

Fluoride is a safe, colourless natural element that dissolves in water. It occurs naturally in minute quantities in most foods and water. Fluoride acts with minerals in saliva to repair and harden teeth damaged by early stages of tooth decay. Teeth become stronger and more resistant to decay when they are frequently in contact with small amounts of fluoride, such as that found in fluoridated water and fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride is helpful for people of all ages, not just children.


When should I start cleaning my child's teeth?

Mouth care should begin even before the teeth appear. Gently wiping baby's gums with a clean, damp cloth after a feed will help familiarise baby with a good cleaning routine and establish good habits. Start to clean your child's teeth as soon as they appear in the mouth (approximately 6 months of age). It is necessary to clean your child's teeth daily as plaque (a soft, sticky, yellow/white film of bacteria) builds up on your child's teeth just as it does on your own teeth.


Is using a 'mouthwash' better than brushing your teeth?

No. A toothbrush is required to mechanically remove plaque, a soft, sticky, film of bacteria that continually builds up on teeth. Most 'over the counter' mouthwashes have minimal action on the bacteria in plaque responsible for causing decay and gum disease. The main benefits lie in temporarily freshening the breath, improving taste and mouth freshness, hydrating the tissues and some specific actions e.g. anti-viral.


Is flossing teeth important?

Yes. Although tooth brushing removes plaque from most tooth surfaces, only dental floss removes plaque that builds up in the spaces between your teeth and under the gum line. Dental flossing is a skill requiring good manual dexterity and lots of practice. For this reason, the age to begin using dental floss will vary between individuals. By age 13, most children should be able to floss without help or supervision.

Really professional dentistry!

I’ve had several visits to see Dr Puckridge & am just so grateful for the time & genuine care exhibited by him & his team. It’s hard to really describe or articulate the sense of relief that comes from being truly listened to, & from being fully informed & given choices about dental treatment options. Dr Puckridge is a sensational & very skilled dentist, and equally it seems, a really sensational person who has clearly built a culture of respect and positivity. The staff are friendly & have a great mix of work & fun & a good vibe amongst themselves which helps me to relax when I’m there. I’ve been so happy with the work I’ve had done there & would happily recommend this Clinic to friends & family.

Wonderful service by Dr Sahba Kashani

Dr Sahba was wonderful with my neurodiverse daughter and her orthodontic needs. She was patient and caring and the end result provided a beautiful smile for my daughter. Thank you

Outstanding diagnostic skill

I am amazed by the diagnostic equipment and skill at this practice. Dr Puckeridge discovered an infection and hairline crack missed by a practitioner elsewhere, twice! Highly recommend Dentists of Tasmania. I now travel a fair distance to get there. It’s worth it.
