24.01.2022 Flossing should be done at least once a day Flossing cleans the surfaces between teeth that toothbrushes can’t get to Flossing should start when two or more teeth touching side to side (this can be as early as 12 months old!)

22.01.2022 This is a stressful time for you and your family. From Monday 30 March 2020, there will be one dentist allocated at our Bicton rooms for a few hours most days to help answer questions you have on your childs dental health via teleconference.

22.01.2022 Thank you to all those on the front lines of this pandemic - the ones who dont get to work remotely; the ones keeping our communities running.

22.01.2022 Happy Easter everyone! Keep an eye on small children with mini Easter eggs

22.01.2022 Let’s get sugar savvy 1. Added sugars are those sugars that are removed from their original source and added to foods as a sweetener or as a preservative 2. Naturally occurring sugars are natural sugars present in fruits, vegetables (fructose) and dairy products (lactose) 3. Children aged 0-2 years old should have ZERO added sugars 4. Children aged 6-12 years old should have no more than 6 teaspoons a day of added sugar ... 5. Added sugars are in about 80% of packaged foods, be sure to always check the nutritional labels before buying! See more

21.01.2022 Stay safe and healthy this winter

19.01.2022 Ever wonder why your dentist recommends X-rays? Here are some of the important reasons why... 1. Detecting decay in between teeth (where it is not possible to detect with the naked eye), size of decay and proximity to nerve, determining the appropriate treatment/filling material 2. Detecting infections 3. Assessing for dental trauma 4. Assessing dental development

19.01.2022 We have stepped up our safety measures to protect our patients and to keep your familys dental experience a safe and comfortable one. Some of the measures include screening patients and staff, maintaining a safe distance, and adhering to stringent disinfection protocols. Learn more about our updated safety measures today at https://www.paediatric-dentists.com.au//safety-measures-a/ Both our Bicton and Cockburn rooms will be open tomorrow, we look forward to seeing you soon

19.01.2022 As we all continue to navigate through these tough times and play our part in #flatteningthecurve, we understand that access to dentistry has drastically reduced and that you may have many questions relating to your childs teeth and oral health. Here is Dr Peter Readman giving us an update on the current dental restrictions relating to COVID-19 and what implications this may have for your childs dental care.

18.01.2022 Tip of the day : Children should have their first dental within 6 months of their first tooth erupting, or by the age of 1

18.01.2022 The Child Dental Benefit Schedule provides access to benefits for basic dental services for children aged 2-17 years. For eligibility details and more information visit health.gov.au/cdbs Our two practices provide dental treatment through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, for those who are eligible.

17.01.2022 Brush twice a day, morning and night. Brush for 2 mins. Brushing for 45 seconds leaves behind 66% more plaque! Most electric toothbrushes have a built-in 2 min timer. Brush with a toothbrush with soft bristles and brush gently.... Replace your toothbrush after 3 months, or after youve been unwell. A parent should be assisting with brushing for their child until ages 8-9. See more

17.01.2022 Please come and speak to us about tooth whitening before ordering do-it-yourself kits at home or using whitening toothpaste! We can determine if whitening is appropriate and look at other options if needed. Depending on the cause of tooth discolouration it might not be the best solution and can sometimes make things worse!

15.01.2022 Flossing should be done at least once a day Flossing cleans the surfaces between teeth that toothbrushes cant get to Flossing should start when two or more teeth touching side to side (this can be as early as 12 months old!)

15.01.2022 My work buddies and their kids are pretty cool Jana was surprisingly well behaved too!

15.01.2022 L e s t W e F o r g e t

14.01.2022 118months - 5 years (with low decay risk), low fluoride toothpaste (500ppm) 2For those with high decay risk, stronger fluoride toothpaste option (1000ppm) 36 years and up, fluoride toothpaste (1450ppm) 4For those with allergies or sensitivities to flavours and colours, Soul Pattinson Plain toothpaste is a good option Dentists will recommend a toothpaste based on your childs decay risk at each check up

14.01.2022 EFFECTIVE 28 APRIL 2020, we will be moving back down to level 2 restrictions. We will be contacting our patients who have previously had treatment suspended to reschedule your appointments. If you are unsure of your childs eligibility for treatment at this time or would like to book your child in for treatment, please contact us at 9339 8200....

07.01.2022 If I am having regular orthodontic checkups, do I really still need to see the dentist? The answer is YES. Braces can act as a plaque trap and increase your chance of tooth decay, if not cleaned. Dentists will provide regular checks and preventive care, including cleans and fluoride treatments, to ensure that your teeth stay healthy while undergoing orthodontic treatment. The goal is to have a beautiful and healthy smile at the end of your braces journey!

06.01.2022 Your health and your childs health remains our top priority. Please reschedule your childs appointment if you or your child are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms or have recently travelled overseas, as a precaution.... Hand sanitisers are available in the clinic for use when attending appointments. Thank you for all playing a part in helping manage the situation. To learn more please visit www.who.int/COVID-19

05.01.2022 Myth: Baby teeth aren’t important, they fall out anyways : Here are some reasons why... 1. Decay in baby teeth can cause pain and infection 2. Decay in baby teeth can affect the health of the developing adult teeth 3. Unhealthy baby teeth can affect a child’s overall health, growth and development 4. Baby teeth help maintain space and guide adult teeth into a good position 5. Decay in baby teeth increases risk of decay in adult teeth Strong, healthy teeth in childhood set up children for great oral health for the rest of their lives! See more
