How often should I have a dental exam?

Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays use very low radiation levels and are only taken when necessary.
What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?
You’re not alone. We provide a supportive, judgment-free environment and will help you move forward comfortably.
Professional Cleaning (Scale & Clean)
Remove plaque, tartar, and stains for healthier teeth and gums
At Capalaba Park Dental Studio, professional cleaning helps maintain oral health by removing buildup that brushing and flossing alone can’t reach.
Plaque and tartar can accumulate beneath the gumline, leading to gum disease if untreated. Regular cleaning helps prevent this and supports long-term dental health.
Benefits
- Healthier gums with less bleeding
- Fresher breath
- Lower risk of gum disease and tooth loss
- Removal of surface stains
- Early identification of issues
Deep Cleaning (Periodontal Treatment)
When gum disease is present, a deeper clean may be required to remove bacteria below the gumline and support healing.
What to Expect
Our team provides gentle, thorough treatment in a relaxed setting, along with personalised advice to help maintain your results at home.
How often should I have a clean?
Typically every six months, though some patients may need more frequent visits.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth.
Will it hurt?
Most patients find it comfortable. Sensitivity can occur but is manageable.
Does cleaning whiten teeth?
It removes surface stains but does not change the natural tooth colour.
Fluoride Treatment in Capalaba

Is fluoride safe?
Yes, when applied professionally it is safe and effective.

Usually every 6 months, or more frequently for higher-risk patients.
Do I still need it if I use toothpaste?
