   The dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, including inspecting your teeth, gums, and mouth. They will also check for any signs of decay or gum problems.
3. Dental X-rays:
   If necessary, dental X-rays will be taken to provide a detailed view of your dental structures.

   You will have the opportunity to discuss any specific dental goals or concerns with the dentist, which will allow them to become more familiar with your preferences and oral health needs.

Here are some signs to look out for that indicate it might be necessary to schedule a dental appointment:

• Persistent dental pain:
  Ongoing pain in your teeth, gums, or jaw is a clear sign that something might be wrong, and you need to see a dentist. Dental pain can indicate decay, infection, or gum disease that requires professional evaluation.
• Sensitive teeth:
  If you experience discomfort when your teeth are exposed to cold, hot, sweet, or acidic foods, it might be a sign of tooth decay or gum recession.
• Gum changes:
  Red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums can be signs of gingivitis or gum disease. Early intervention can prevent further complications, such as receding gums, loosening of teeth, and bone loss.
• Loose or shifting teeth:
  Movement or loosening of teeth could be a sign of advanced gum disease (periodontitis), which can lead to tooth loss if left unaddressed.
• Bad breath or unpleasant taste:
  Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth can be indicators of dental problems, such as cavities or dental abscesses.
• Sores or bumps that don’t heal:
  A dentist should examine any ulcers, sores, or persistent bumps in your mouth that don’t go away within two to three weeks.
• Jaw pain:
  This can be related to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), severe toothache, or other dental conditions that require a dentist’s evaluation.

These signs are important to look out for, as they can indicate underlying problems that require professional treatment. Regular dental visits are crucial for addressing these issues and for preventive care to maintain oral health.

At Joondalup City Dental, we understand that dental anxiety and fear can be significant obstacles for many patients. To help manage these concerns, we offer IV sedation and general anaesthesia. These options provide a level of relaxation and can be recommended for those who experience anxiety or fear about dental procedures.

IV sedation involves administering a sedative through injection, allowing the medication to work relatively quickly and the level of sedation to be adjusted as needed. General anaesthesia makes the patient unconscious, allowing for more complex procedures to be performed comfortably and without anxiety. These methods help provide the dental care patients need in a relaxed and calm environment.

Our patients have access to various payment options to accommodate different financial needs. Aside from health funds, below is a list of the payment methods we accept at Joondalup City Dental:

• Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS):
  This is a government program that provides financial assistance for basic dental services for eligible children ages 0 to 17.
• Dental services for DVA (Department of Veterans Affairs) card holders:
  We offer provisions for veterans holding a DVA card. This program covers essential dental treatments, which significantly reduces the financial burden for eligible veterans and their dependents.
• Afterpay:
  Allows you to receive treatment immediately and pay for it in instalments.

For those considering dental implants, we offer financing options through:

• Supercare:
  An option that facilitates accessing superannuation funds for medically necessary dental treatments early.
• Pretty Penny Finance:
  Provides finance options for those needing assistance in covering dental costs.

Our payment options help patients receive the necessary treatments with minimal financial strain. If you have any questions regarding these options, please feel free to contact Joondalup City Dental.
