Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between general dental and major dental?
General dental care covers routine, preventive treatments like check-ups, cleans, X-rays, and simple fillings — the everyday care most people need to maintain oral health. Major dental care covers more complex or costly procedures, such as root canal treatment, crowns, bridges, dentures, and oral surgery. Many Australian health funds use this general/major distinction to structure dental cover, so it’s worth checking your policy to see what’s included under each category.
How often should I visit a general dentistry clinic?
For most patients, a check-up every six months is recommended. Some patients with higher risk factors for decay or gum disease may benefit from more frequent visits. Our dentists will advise the right schedule for your needs.
Does general dentistry cover emergency dental care?
Yes. Emergency appointments are part of the general dentistry services we provide at Macquarie Dental. If you have dental pain, an infection, or a dental injury, contact our Sydney CBD practice on (02) 9223 9000 and our team will assist you promptly.
Can I visit a general dentist for gum disease treatment?
Yes. Our general dentistry Sydney team assesses and manages gum disease as a routine part of care. For advanced periodontitis, we may refer to a specialist, but most gum conditions can be managed within a general dental clinic.
How can I maintain oral health between dental visits?
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and stay hydrated with tap water. These basic habits, combined with regular visits to our general dentistry clinic, support strong teeth and healthy gums long-term.
Do you see nervous dental patients?
Yes. Our team is experienced in supporting patients who feel anxious about dental visits. We take our time, explain each step before starting, and welcome questions. For patients with significant dental anxiety, we can discuss available options at the consultation.
