Are your teeth "Sensitive"?
Teeth can be sensitive for many reasons? The most obvious of these is because of a cavity (or hole) in a tooth that needs to be fixed. Holes in our teeth are caused by a combination of the foods and drinks that we consume AND an inefficient tooth brushing. The more sweet things that we consume, the increased chances of cavities forming.
Teeth can be sensitive for other reasons too, for example a person who is brushing too hard or doesn't have the correct technique. Did you know that you can actually do damage to your teeth and your gums with a poor tooth-brushing technique!
With all dental problems, early intervention is always best so now is a great time to get your teeth assessed and find out if any of these problems apply to you! If your teeth are sensitive and you want to know what is causing it, give us a call and book an appointment. Come in and let one of our friendly dentists discuss your situation and what can be done to remedy your problems!
Are you in a Health Fund?
The Australian Dental Association has recently had a look across the board at a lot of health funds and found a common query from patients.... "Why are my Health Fund rebates for dental treatment so low?" If you would like to know what was uncovered, visit www.ada.org.au/rebates and you can read all about it. You are certainly not alone. A lot of patients across a lot of funds are experiencing similar issues. See what else you can do!
Know your fund and know your year - this can also effect how you claim. A "health fund year" can be defined as a Calendar year (January to December), Financial year (1 July through to 30 June) or Anniversary year (Date of policy start). You should check with your Private Dental Health Fund about which "year" applies to your level of cover.
Notice to all patients:
