25.01.2022 Demystifying the Dentist: Even though they are a major part of our health, most of us know very little about our teeth and gums, and how they function. Ever wondered what all the big words used by dentists actually mean? In the month of September, well be diving into the world of dentistry and explaining all the wacky and confusing terms youve heard dentists use but not fully understood. Join us throughout the month as we Demystify the Dentist and, who knows, maybe youll be able to use some big words of your own at your next appointment!

22.01.2022 While daily brushing and flossing are super important, our daily diet also makes a huge difference to our dental health. A good diet and daily dietary habits can go a long way to maintaining healthy teeth and gums and preventing many dental issues. Stay tuned for our top dental diet tips.

22.01.2022 Cutting Edge Dentistry: Teeth Whitening With advancements in bleaching technology, teeth whitening is now safer and easier than ever. Teeth becoming discoloured over time is totally normal. While we can help to maintain tooth whiteness with good oral hygiene, teeth ultimately stain just like anything else. Many of the foods and drinks we love can stain our teeth over time. This happens to everyone. Just like clothes stains, tooth stains cant be removed with normal cleaning m...ethods. The modern teeth whitening procedure involves safely applying a paste to the teeth that attaches to the coloured particles on the teeth and removes them, allowing them to be washed away. This effectively reverses the staining process and, in most cases, lightens the shade of the teeth. Here at Acts Dental Care, we offer in-chair whitening, which is then followed up by a couple weeks of at home whitening and have seen many patients pleased with the outstanding results they have experienced. If youre curious, ask your dentist on your next visit to see if teeth whitening is right for you.

17.01.2022 Demystifying the Dentist: Enamel Enamel is a word youve probably heard more times than you can count, but what actually is it and why is it so important? The tooth is made up of 3 layers, the soft inner tissue, the dentin cushion and the hard outer layer. Enamel is the name for this hard shell which covers the exposed part of the tooth. It is the only part of the tooth that you can normally see and touch.... Enamel is an incredibly important part of the tooth, as without it, teeth wouldnt be able to chew anything without breaking. This incredible substance is the hardest tissue in the whole human body, being harder than bone or finger/toe nail and is made up of an incredible 96% crystalline minerals. This rock hard shield enables us to chew through most foods with ease. So if enamel is so strong, how do teeth get damaged? While being incredibly hard, enamel is just as susceptible to acidic erosion, which can be caused by consuming lots of acidic drinks such as fruit juice and energy drinks. To prevent this erosion, reducing the amount of these you consume, along with rinsing out the mouth with water after consumption is recommended. Blunt force can also crack the enamel, especially when applied to an already weakened area.

15.01.2022 Demystifying the Dentist: Root Canal Treatment While it may sound scary, root canal is in fact a very helpful treatment that preserves an existing tooth, and usually eliminates pain and sensitivity. The root canal itself is a tube inside the root of the tooth that is filled with a soft tissue called pulp. This pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, which helped to construct and maintain the tooth. While it is usually kept safe beneath the hard outer layer of the tooth, cra...cks or decay in the tooth can lead to the pulp becoming inflamed. Because it contains nerves, this often causes pain or hot/cold sensitivity. If left untreated, this inflamed pulp can begin to rot, which can then lead to infection within the tooth itself and later develop into an abscess. The treatment itself involves cleaning out this infected pulp, sterilising the root canal, and filling the space back up to prevent further infection. Next up: the dreaded gum disease - gingivitis

14.01.2022 Demystifying the Dentist: Tooth numbers Ever heard your dentist calling a tooth 28 or 32 and wondered what the numbers mean? Turns out, its quite simple. Each tooth is given a number, according to a standard system, which is then used to easily communicate which tooth is being referred to. How to count teeth:... First, divide the mouth into four quarters and number them: top right (from your perspective) is 1, top left is 2, bottom left is 3, and bottom right is 4. Now, count the teeth out from the middle: for the top right the teeth would be numbered 11,12,13,14 and so on, and for the bottom left they would be numbered 31, 32, 33, 34 and so on. The 8s (18,28,38 and 48) are the wisdom teeth, right at the back, and hence in a normal mouth, there are 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32 teeth. Childrens teeth are numbered separately as they only have 5 teeth in each quarter for a total of 20. Join us next week as we explore root canal treatment.

09.01.2022 For most of us, brushing and flossing our teeth are a daily activity. However, no matter how long you've been brushing and flossing, we all have room to improve to get the best clean we can. With Dental Health Week just around the corner, its the perfect time to "brush" up on how to get the most out of your daily clean. Here's some easy to follow videos with some great advice from the Australian Dental Association #dentalhealthweek Acts Dental Care

07.01.2022 Its no newsflash that eating lots of sugary foods can lead to dental cavities, but why is sugar specifically the culprit, and how does it cause cavities? Preventing cavities comes down to more than just having less sugar. Bacteria that naturally lives on the teeth can feed on carbohydrates, producing acid as waste. Its this acid that can break down the minerals that make up enamel, and eventually the inner dentine, causing cavities. In order to prevent this from occurring..., reduce the amount of short-chain or fermentable carbohydrates you consume: these carbohydrates are found in fruit, white bread, cereal, pasta, and sugar. It is also important to realise that this process only occurs while the food and its residue is in your mouth. This means that having fewer, bigger meals, rather than continuous snacking will greatly reduce the amount of acid production. See more

06.01.2022 Cutting Edge Dentistry: CEREC Restoration From fillings to crowns, rebuilding and restoring damaged teeth is a huge part of the dental world. The CEREC line of technologies is offering an incredible new way to approach teeth restoration. The CEREC process works in 4 steps to restore a damaged tooth. 1. Using a special 3d scanning tool, the dentist creates a full 3d model of your current teeth... 2. This model is uploaded into the CEREC software, which designs a piece that will fit onto your existing tooth and return it to its full form 3. This piece is milled from pure zirconia (a material very similar to tooth) in the specially designed CEREC milling machine 4. The tooth is glazed in a special machine, before being attached onto the tooth by the dentist. This process greatly increases the comfort of having restorative work, as it reduces the amount of the process that takes place in your mouth and produces an exceptional, smooth finish on the final tooth. We are proud to offer this new technology at acts dental care, and excited to see all the new possibilities it provides.

03.01.2022 Demystifying the Dentist: Gingivitis Also known as gum disease, gingivitis is seen as a swelling and tenderness of the gums, as well as a tendency to bleed. While this sure sounds nasty, Gingivitis is thankfully one of the most easily preventable dental issues. Gingivitis is simply the result of the gums, also known as the gingiva becoming irritated. While it is technically the result of bacteria, it is not in itself an infection. The teeth naturally develop a layer of bac...teria on their surface, which is not harmful in itself: this we call plaque. If left uncleaned for too long, however, an immune response is triggered to remove the plaque. This results in the formation of a hard, yellow coating on the outside of the teeth that we call calculus or tartar. When calculus forms next to the gumline, it irritates the gum, resulting in swelling and sensitivity, much in the same way that an ingrown toenail causes inflammation. To prevent the accumulation of calculus, simply clean the teeth of plaque through brushing and flossing regularly. Next up: Enamel

02.01.2022 Cutting Edge Dentistry: Invisalign Braces Almost all of us have either known someone who has had braces at some point, or had them ourselves. While very effective at solving teeth positioning issues, traditional metal braces carry with them a host of issues, annoyances and time investment. The Invisalign system is an exciting new technology that is totally revolutionising braces as we know them. Rather than metal brackets, Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic, and ...wrap around the teeth much like a very thin mouthguard. By making the aligners shaped in the designed teeth positions, they gently encourage the teeth to move into proper alignment. Each aligner is set only slightly off from the current position so that, over the course of a series of aligners, the teeth are moved gradually into the right positions. This has a great number of positive benefits over traditional braces, firstly, the aligners are removable, making eating and brushing much easier than with traditional braces, and are virtually invisible so they wont hinder your confidence or smile. Another great advantage is that the lack of metal wires and pins means less frequent visits to the dentist, and less risk of injury when playing sports or eating. In conjunction with orthodontic specialists, we are super excited to offer this great alternative for you and your smile.

01.01.2022 Here at acts dental care, we are super proud to have recently achieved full QIP accreditation with the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards. This credits us for our standards in safety and quality and is widely recognised across the health care world. We are excited to continue to improve and see our practice become safer than ever.
