Protect Today. Smile Tomorrow
Our approach at Quality Dental Care in Mickleham is very simple that “prevention is better than cure” by taking the preventive services. Maintaining oral health is the assert of one’s life, and preserving the natural teeth is always preferred over replacing them. This philosophy will support the overall hygiene and well-being of teeth. Regular check-ups and individualised care will help to aim to avoid more invasive treatments down the track.
QDC’s philosophy is to help maintain the overall hygiene and health of your teeth rather than to simply clean them. This could be achieved by regular check-ups and individualised care. We want to prevent more extensive procedures in the future.

A Strong Focus on Prevention
Oral health issues such as gum disease, cavities, and worn enamel, can gradually develop and often don’t manifest any clear signs.
We are here to maintain your mouth’s health through a variety of professional services including fluoride treatments, and customized oral care tips, so you can keep your natural teeth for a lifetime!
Initial Scale and Clean
Your Starting Point for a Healthier Smile
It’s really important to take care of your teeth and gums, and one of the best ways to do this is to use a professional scale and cleaning. Our experienced dentist can carry out this routine to eliminate plaque and hardened tartar in areas which may not be reached through normal brushing and flossing.

During your visit, the dentist will
- Take a look at how your gums are doing
- Make sure to check the support around your teeth
- Give it a good scrub
- Give customised advice on brushing and flossing
- Use fluoride for extra shielding
For most people, getting this treatment twice a year keeps their mouth healthy and stops issues down the road
Follow-Up Cleaning Appointments
Gentle and Thorough Care
If there is a lot of tartar, it may not be wise to address cleaning everything in one fell swoop. If this sort of thing occurs, perhaps a second check-up is warranted to ensure everything is just right.
This step-by-step process makes sure you’re comfy and lets you clean more thoroughly

Fluoride Treatment
Added Protection for Your Teeth
Fluoride is most effective if applied to teeth that haven’t been coated by plaque, and this is why it’s best used after a professional cleaning. The treatment involves using a strong fluoride gel or varnish directly on the teeth.

Fluoride helps to
- Boost the chips in your tooth enamel
- Diminish tooth sensitivity
- Slow or reverse early signs of wear
- Offer extra shielding from tooth decay
This is a real game-changer for
kids dental treatment, people who’re at risk of cavities, or anyone keen on beefing up their chompers

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I have a scale and clean?
Most patients benefit from a professional scale and clean every 6 months.
However, if you have a history of gum disease or heavy tartar build-up, your
dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
2. Is fluoride treatment safe for adults?
Yes. Fluoride treatments are safe and beneficial for both children and adults.
They help strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of decay, especially after
a professional clean.
3. What if I have sensitive gums or bleeding during cleaning?
Some bleeding or sensitivity may indicate early gum inflammation, which is
exactly what preventative care aims to treat. Our Hygienist will work gently and
may suggest a treatment plan to improve your gum health over time.
4. Do I need to floss if I brush well twice a day?
Yes. Brushing alone doesn’t clean between your teeth where food and plaque can
accumulate. Flossing or using interdental brushes helps to remove debris and
prevent gum disease.
5. Can a dentist spot problems even before I feel pain?
Absolutely. Many dental issues such as gum disease or early decay are painless
in their initial stages. That’s why regular checks and professional cleanings
are so important.
6. Is it normal to need more than one cleaning appointment?
Yes, especially if there is significant tartar build-up. In such cases, it’s
more comfortable and effective to complete the clean over two visits.
