Preventive Dental Care
Prevention is the key of modern dentistry and our dental hygienists are at the core of this. We provide hygiene treatments for kids and adults by thoroughly checking gum health and the dentist completes the treatment by attending to the overall oral health needs you may have. Having your teeth and gums professionally cleaned every six months can reduce the likelihood of tooth decay and gingivitis.
Contact our compassionate team on (02) 4933 5081 to book an appointment. We pride ourselves on fostering a comfortable, relaxing environment; from the moment you enter the clinic, our staff will greet you. We aim to give you a reason to smile!
Remember: preventive maintenance starts at home (i.e., toothbrush and floss).
Check-Up & Cleans
Dental check-ups and cleans are an important part of oral health care. They can ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy and free from disease or infection. Regular dental visits also help identify problem areas early on, allowing your dentist to perform preventive care where necessary.
At Maitland Dental Care, we provide dental hygiene treatments for patients of all ages. Oral health is directly linked to your overall health, so it is important to attend your routine dental appointments.

Gum Disease Treatment
Gums are often neglected when it comes to oral health, but they are just as important as your teeth. Unfortunately, almost 10% of Australians will suffer from periodontal disease, known as gum disease. Our dental hygienists strive to remove plaque and calculus build-up and can educate you on how to best perform at home care. If your condition requires it we can give a timely referral to a gum specialist.

EMS Airflow ®
This state of the art equipment focuses upon prevention. It uses air, warm water and a fine antibacterial powder to clean and polish teeth in one simple procedure. Our dental hygienist can use the airflow technique to clean teeth faster, more comfortably and more efficiently than traditional methods. The airflow is highly recommended for the prevention of gum disease and decay and the maintenance of dental implants and orthodontic appliances.
Kids Dentistry
At Maitland Dental Care, we provide check-ups and cleans for our youngest patients. Our dentists are patient and caring, doing everything possible to accommodate your children—especially the little ones who get nervous seeing the dentist. Children are dental beginners; so, when it comes to their oral health, we teach them about healthy brushing habits and flossing techniques, as well as offer dieting recommendations that aim to keep their teeth and gums happy. We can also provide children of all ages with fitted mouthguards to reduce the chances of dental injuries from occurring when they’re playing sports. With a focus on preventive care, our team is committed to building long-term relationships with our young patients.
Book your child or children in for a check-up/clean. Call us on (02) 4933 5081 today.
Occlusal Splints
Grinding is a common occurrence in adults and can drastically impact the integrity of your teeth and your jaw. The gold standard treatment for preventing long term damage from grinding is an occlusal splint. Made from hard acrylic, the splint is custom made for patients to wear at night and aims to minimise the wear on teeth and avoid high stresses upon the muscles of the jaw.
