21.01.2022 Children’s teeth is prevention or cure the better option? A new study has concluded that conventional fillings are no more effective than using prevention techniques for kid's teeth. The study shows that children who get tooth decay at a young age have a high chance of experiencing toothache and abscesses later in their life.... The best way to manage tooth decay is by preventing it in the first place. We need to prevent dental decay before it begins and if decay does develop in a child's mouth, there are a number of treatment options available to fix it. Have a good day and keep smiling..

01.01.2022 The Australian Dental Association’s top 10 tips for oral health protection without leaving home: 1. Brush twice daily with a toothbrush it’s one of your best defences against tooth decay. An electric toothbrush isn’t necessary and remember to brush gently as hard brushing will damage enamel.... 2. Always use a toothpaste containing fluoride for optimum protection of your teeth. Children should start using fluoride paste from 18 months of age and be supervised until they are old enough to do it alone. 3. Clean between your teeth with floss or interdental brushes to free the trapped food debris and plaque that builds up, starting the tooth decay process and inflammation of the gums. 4. Ditch the rinse after brushing spit out the excess toothpaste after brushing but don’t rinse with water. This leaves behind toothpaste residue to continue providing extra protection. 5.Get sugar savvy and watch your sugar intake: the WHO recommends just six teaspoons a day that’s around 24g, to decrease your risk of developing tooth decay 6. Be your own ‘sugar detective’: check the sugar content on the Nutrition Information Panel (NIP) on food and drink this may be per serve or per 100g. To make the content understandable, turn it into teaspoons. Divide the value by 4 as one teaspoon of sugar is equal to 4 grams. So, if the label says 10g, this equals 2.5 teaspoons of sugar. 7. How much is too much? Look at the sugar content per 100g serving on the NIP if it’s more than 15g you should consider looking for an alternative with a lower sugar content the lower the sugar the better - ideally less than 5g per 100g. 8. Location: When deciphering the list of ingredients on food labels, the higher to the top of the list an ingredient is, the more of it is present in the item. 9. Make it yourself: when you make your own foods from scratch at home you know exactly what and how much has and has not gone into it including how much sugar. 10. Be creative with alternative sources of sweetness in your life such as stevia, and when you get a sugar craving, opt for protein rich and tooth-friendly, nutritious snacks like nuts and cheese.
