23.01.2022 Often, removing wisdom teeth early prevents issues in later years. Typically, wisdom teeth are removed due to crowding, impaction or to prevent infection. Even if they're not fully erupted, or you are not experiencing discomfort, we recommend consulting with a dentist to see whether or not wisdom teeth removal is right for you.... If you would like to understand the process of wisdom teeth removal*, please contact our friendly staff on (07) 4051 3838.

21.01.2022 "How long after I get my wisdom teeth removed can I get back into exercise?" It's a question we often get asked (you Cairns locals love your exercise!)

Especially if you're wanting to jump back into vigorous exercise... it's best you have a chat with the doc so that they can advise what's best for your individual case. In the meantime... if you're experiencing any discomfort or pain in the mouth, please reach out immediately to your dentist.

20.01.2022 Is fruit bad for your oral health... Well - sort of. Because of the various levels of sugar fruits contain, excessive consumption of certain fruits can have detrimental effects to oral health. ... The good news is that there a couple of ways to minimise the impact acid and sugar from these fruits have on the teeth. #1 - choose low acidity and low sugar fruits such as berries, peaches and apples #2 - moderate consumption of fruits like pineapple and mango that are high in acid and sugar #3 choose whole fruit and veg where you can over juices and concentrates Learn more here --> https://www.nationaldentalcare.com.au/is-fruit-bad-for-you/

19.01.2022 Wisdom teeth are the molars (back teeth) that come through last, usually in your late teens or early 20s. Sometimes, these molars will come through at an angle - pushing the gum or tooth beside it... this is known as impaction. Wisdom teeth dont usually cause any pain until they start to do damage, so it is best to find out if your wisdom teeth are likely to cause problems sooner rather than later. ... A referral is needed to see an oral surgeon such as Dr. Brian Finn - this can be attained from your local dentist. Contact us on (07) 4051 3838 if you'd like to understand more about the process for wisdom teeth removal. Alternatively, visit to find out more --> https://www.cairnsoralsurgery.com/ *Please note, any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified medical professional

19.01.2022 When deciding on which doctor to choose for an advanced oral procedure such as wisdom teeth removal or dental implant surgery, there are a few questions that you should ask. No. 1: Does the oral surgeon have the appropriate training and qualifications? No. 2: Does the surgeon have extensive experience with your procedure? ... No. 3: Does the oral surgeon belong to professional industry organisations? Oral surgery can be life-changing - it's important that your surgeon is the right one for you. To find out more about Dr Finn and the Cairns Oral Surgery team, visit www.cairnsoralsurgery.com.

Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

17.01.2022 No, in many cases, wisdom teeth erupt fully into the mouth into full function and behave exactly like any other tooth. Where a wisdom tooth remains fully buried, often it can be left alone if it is expected not to cause any problems. HOWEVER, diseased or teeth that are likely to cause trouble in the future should be removed.... If you are experiencing discomfort and suspect you may need to have your wisdom teeth removed, call our friendly team on (07) 4051 3838 to organise a consultation.

16.01.2022 We get asked a lot... "How long will my dental implants last!?" The good news is:...

If dental implants are something you may be considering, check out cairnsoralsurgery.com to find out more. Please note: any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified medical professional.

14.01.2022 As the implant is a medical device, there is no guarantee regarding success, and failure can occur. However, general statistics indicate that approximately 90% of the implants will still be functional at 10 years, but there are many different risk factors that can have adverse effects on implant survival rate, such as the patients medical history, smoking status, history of periodontal disease, and oral hygiene practices. It is important to consider these factors and if you have any concerns, consult our practice to find out more on (07) 4051 3838.

12.01.2022 No, this really depends how impacted teeth are, the level of decay and the age of the patient. However, the optimal time to get your wisdom teeth out is before it becomes a problem - so ensure you are vigilent about your oral health and consult your dentist to see whether this procedure is right for you.

12.01.2022 Do dental implants resist staining? Generally, tooth staining is not a problem with dental implants. This is because the glazed finish protects the implants. However, if this is damaged, staining might occur, not just on the teeth but along the gum line under the implant as well....

11.01.2022 No one, not even you, would be able to notice your dental implants (unless you had the eyesight of an eagle or carried around a microscope in your pocket ) That's because implants are created to feel as natural as possible in the mouth, matching the shape and size of your other teeth so you can feel confident in your restored smile.

03.01.2022 Coffee and dental implants... The hard truth is, just as coffee stains your natural dental tissue, it can also cause the restorations topping your dental implants to become yellowed, too. BUT... there is a solution.... Just like normal teeth - rinsing with H20 after drinking a cuppa can minimise the likelihood your implants become stained. Do that + brush after your caffeine hit and you've found yourself a winning formula for maintaining beautiful dental implants. Keen to learn more?
