Professional Teeth Cleanings
Keeping teeth clean is a very important part of oral health. In addition to you regularly brushing and flossing, most dentists usually recommend people have their teeth cleaned professionally by a dentist every six months, and some dentists recommend it once a year.
Your dentist can clean and remove built-up debris from your teeth – this debris may include food particles, hard calculus (caused by the mineral deposits from saliva onto the soft plaque, also called tartar) or soft plaque (bacterial growth). Calculus and plaque are the main causes of gum disease. The dentist then cleans and polishes the teeth using a rotating brush with a polishing paste.
Your dentist can give you advice on how to keep your and gums healthy between appointments to make sure they remain healthy. Professional cleaning also helps treat and prevent gum disease.

How telehealth doctors’ service works at National Telemedicine Doctors
Using National Telemedicine Doctor’s telehealth platform, you can now consult an Australian Medical Board-certified doctor/GP/health practitioner in the comfort of our own home or office. Of course a face-to-face consultation with your regular health practitioner is the ideal consultation, however a consultation with National Telemedicine Doctors is an effective and convenient alternative, when a face-to-face consultation is not possible. During your consultation your National Telemedicine Doctor/ health practitioner will advise you if an in-person visit to a health practitioner is required.
BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH

Please remember that consultations provided by National Telemedicine Doctors are not suitable in the case of medical emergencies requiring urgent treatment. In the case of emergencies, please contact your local emergency services immediately.
Do I need a referral for a Specialist/Allied Health Practitioner?
Any General Practitioner at National Telemedicine Doctors can write a referral for you if you need a referral to a specialist/allied Health practitioner. You may need a referral to see a registered specialist or health practitioner – if you take services of a specialist/allied Health practitioner without a referral, Medicare will not cover any of your costs.
