Your active maintenance appointment

Our active maintenance program is designed to help you take care of your teeth and gums, and teach you how to maintain your oral health between dental visits. We recommend attending a check-up and clean at least every six months so our oral health therapy team can stay informed of your health and help prevent any issues before they arise.

An active maintenance appointment includes an overall evaluation of your oral health and thorough teeth cleaning, utilising state-of-the-art AirFlow guided biofilm removal technology. We remove any buildup of plaque or tartar, both above and below the gum line, before polishing your teeth and applying a fluoride treatment where required. We also provide a tailored home dental care program to help you maintain your teeth and keep your gums healthy.

The importance of oral hygiene

Teeth, gums and underlying bone that is free from disease is the foundation of a healthy smile. Patients can maintain optimal oral hygiene and health with regular visits to our oral health therapists and keeping up with daily brushing and flossing at home. Prioritising your oral health will help you to prevent any disease or decay from occurring, and ensure your natural teeth last as long as possible.

Maintaining a high standard of oral hygiene is the key to avoidance of periodontal (gum) disease. Gum disease causes bone loss around teeth, and has a direct impact on the health of your entire body. Avoiding gum disease is also important for the prevention of heart disease, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, respiratory illness, pregnancy complications, and some cancers.

AirFlow: leading hygiene technology

At CDIC, we have invested in state-of-the-art dental hygiene technology to give every patient the best possible standard of care. This includes AirFlow® biofilm removal therapy, which offers a gentle yet highly effective method for cleaning and removing plaque. This cutting-edge technology ensures that every corner of your mouth receives the care it needs, whether you have natural teeth or restorations.

Preserving your teeth at CDIC

At CDIC, we believe that a preventive and comprehensive approach to oral hygiene and dental care is more beneficial than a reactive one. Actively maintaining a healthy smile is simple with a combination of correct home care and routine visits with our hygiene team.

We welcome all new patients from across Melbourne looking for the highest standard of care. Book your next dental check-up today.

FAQs

How frequently should I have an oral health check-up?

Visiting your dentist every 6 months is recommended to monitor and maintain your oral health. However, some individuals may require more frequent visits depending on their needs, so it’s best to follow the advice of your oral health therapist or dentist. 

Our active maintenance appointments begin at $220. These appointments include comprehensive removal of calculus/tartar, fluoride therapy, plaque and stain removal, and prevention of further decay. Our active maintenance also includes EMS AIRFLOW®, an advanced machine that uses Guided Biofilm Therapy, which is the latest technology in preventative dental care and more comfortable than other dental teeth cleaning methods.

A key part of maintaining oral health is your daily teeth cleaning routine at home, which should include brushing at least twice a day for two minutes each, and flossing between your teeth daily. Other important tips to maximise your oral health maintenance include:

  • Fluoride: It is important to use a toothpaste that includes fluoride, which helps to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
  • Mouthwash: Using some mouthwash after you have brushed and flossed will help to remove any excess food particles and plaque, while keeping your breath smelling fresh and clean.
  • Diet: Try to minimise the amount of sugar and carbohydrates you consume, as they break down in the mouth and produce acids that damage your teeth and cause cavities. It’s ok to consume most things in moderation.
