Extractions

At Green Apple Dental Clinic, we will always do everything possible to preserve your natural teeth. However, there are instances when an extraction becomes necessary for your oral health.

Family Dentistry FAQs

Can our entire family see the same dentist, and what are the advantages of family dentistry?

Yes, family dentistry caters to patients of all ages, making it convenient for the entire family to see the same dentist. The advantages include continuity of care, a familiar and comfortable environment for children, and the ability to address various dental needs within one practice.

When should my child have their first dental visit, and what can they expect during the appointment?

We recommend a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth emerges. During the appointment, the dentist will examine the child’s teeth, provide guidance on proper oral care, and discuss topics such as teething, thumb-sucking, and fluoride needs.

What are tooth-coloured fillings, and how do they differ from traditional amalgam fillings?

Tooth-coloured fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a mixture of resin and glass or quartz filler. They match the natural colour of teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing option compared to traditional amalgam fillings. Composite fillings also require less removal of tooth structure.

At what age should a child have an orthodontic assessment, and what are the common options for straightening teeth?

We recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it allows the dentist to assess potential issues. Common orthodontic options include traditional braces, clear aligners (e.g., Invisalign), and other appliances depending on individual needs.

How long does orthodontic treatment typically last, and what is the importance of wearing retainers?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies based on the complexity of the case, but it often ranges from 1 to 3 years. After braces or aligner treatment, wearing retainers is crucial to maintain the new alignment of teeth. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions and are typically worn for a specified period as advised by the dentist.
