25.01.2022 Cheesy joke alert! Do you have any good (or hilariously bad) dental puns?

24.01.2022 Snoring and sleep apnoea. Theyre not exactly ideal for a great nights rest. Your dentist can help with that. Whether youre exhausted from interrupted sleep, your partner is fed up or youre stressed that you cant find a cure. Dont smother the problem with a pillow, its time to #openup about whats really going on and how you can get to the bottom of it.

24.01.2022 Were back! Claremont Dental is reopening Tuesdays and Thursdays from May 5 on a limited basis. With the positive scaleback of COVID-19 restrictions we are reintroducing a select group of services and currently contacting patients whose eligible appointments were previously postponed. ... Appointment Types Although some restrictions have been lifted, social distancing rules are still enforced. This means we are currently limited to the types of dental procedures we are allowed to perform. At this stage only Dr Dominic Etheridge will be seeing patients for eligible treatments, while hygiene appointments with our therapists will be limited to priority cases. Safety For your health and safety we will ask you a few questions when booking your appointment, then again at the surgery (with a questionnaire also provided for you to fill out.) All patients are required to use hand sanitiser both when entering and leaving the reception area. Before any dental procedures are performed you will also be given an antiseptic mouth rinse. We are currently spreading out appointments across the day with reduced staff on reception. To minimise the number of people in the building we ask anyone accompanying patients to wait in their car. For your reassurance, as a QIP Accredited Dental Practice we meet the highest level of infection control. In addition to this we are sanitising all benchtops and door handles through the day, while our EFTPOS machine is sanitised after every use. Bookings To make a booking call us on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Alternatively leave us a message and well call you back. For all dental emergencies please follow the prompts on our answering machine. We look forward to seeing you in our surgery soon.

24.01.2022 Patient happiness is key. Not much makes us happier than hearing that we did our job well and this review on Whitecoat just made our day.

What does this mean for you? ... We are currently limited in the services we can provide to patients and will only be able to see those who need urgent care. This includes: Toothache Abscess Broken teeth Dental trauma Extensive decay Unfortunately we will be unable to provide scheduled regular check ups or cleans, non-urgent fillings or aesthetic dental procedures until a later date. If you have a routine treatment booked with us over the next month we will be in touch to notify you of the postponement of your appointment and will rebook as soon as we are able. For those needing urgent dental treatment, please understand that for health and safety reasons we will be asking a few questions when you book. If our phone is unattended, a recorded message will be available with instructions for patients who are experiencing a dental emergency.

22.01.2022 Get your teeth eight shades whiter in less than an hour. No gimmicks here, its really possible. Say hello to Zoom No, not the video call app everyone used in lockdown, were talking about Zoom teeth whitening! Zoom whitening is the fast and painless answer to whiter, brighter teeth and only takes 45-60 minutes.

22.01.2022 Love coffee but hate the long term teeth staining and discolouration that comes with your favourite brew? Theres no need to be self-conscious about your smile! Get in touch with your friendly local dentist for a range of whitening solutions and tips for future prevention.

21.01.2022 How cute is this gif by Michelle Porucznik! But, cuteness aside, it's a helpful reminder of a common dental issue that many people don’t even realise is a problem overbrushing! Yep, you can have too much of a good thing, even when it comes to your oral health. In fact, over brushing your teeth can lead to: Pain and bleeding Gum recession Sensitive teeth ... So how do you avoid this? Brush twice daily unless directed otherwise Use light pressure and brush in gentle, circular motions Place your toothbrush bristles on a 45 degree angle, just under the gumline.

21.01.2022 Make your pearly whites pop with Zoom Whitening. Its fast, pain free and completely safe! Save $120 on Zoom Whitening, with every full dental exam and hygiene in September! What are you waiting for?

20.01.2022 DIY Dental? No thank you. While this Simpsons clip is sure to make you smile, whatever you do, do not follow Moes example. Save the dentistry to, well, the dentists. Professional care means youll get the smile you deserve, without putting your pearly whites at risk.

20.01.2022 It's with a heavy heart that we inform you of some bittersweet news Dr Jana’s husband Michael has finished his training as an oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and has been offered a coveted fellowship at Lifehouse Hospital (yay!) in Sydney (boo!) starting in January 2021. Dr Jana will be available for appointments until the 13th January 2021. December is always busy (and we will be closed from Dec 24th to Jan 3rd) so to avoid disappointment, we suggest you book in with Jana early if you want to see her before she makes the move. While we are sad to see Jana go, this is an amazing opportunity and we are very excited for her and her husband. Hopefully she will be rejoining the team in 2022!

20.01.2022 A reflective reminder from Healthline on the power of meditation! We’re big champions of all-round wellbeing, not just oral health, and find that meditation is one of the best ways to support a wellness-focused lifestyle.

19.01.2022 Dentist, hypnotherapist or both The Claremont Dental team recently got to learn all about hypnotherapy from Dr. Dom. If you didnt know, Dom studies it outside of dentistry to provide an extra level of care for patients who find the dentist a bit scary (yes both adults and children!). We all had a lot of fun as he showed us a DVD on hypnosis from the 1980s and he even tried some relaxation techniques on us. Thats certainly one way to make sure we all like him

19.01.2022 #TakeCare With all the extra indulgences that pop up at Christmas, don’t forget to make a little extra time for your teeth. There are lots of ways that you can treat your teeth to a bright summer ahead, here's some helpful reminders. Brush twice daily... even if you’re tired Drink a glass of water before and after sugary treats Incorporate flossing into your brushing routine

18.01.2022 Doms surgery is getting a mini facelift! Keep your eyes peeled to see the final result over the next few weeks. Dont worry, our potted pals wont be going anywhere.

18.01.2022 Don’t let your oral health fall behind. You wouldn’t miss a doctors appointment, so don’t skip out on your annual dental health checkups. A little time taken once a year for your checkup will save you a lot of time later down the line. You’ll be able to catch and prevent any potential problems before they spiral into something bigger!

17.01.2022 Happy Birthday Fiona! Thanks for being you. If you havent had the joy of meeting her before, Fiona is one of our friendly treatment coordinators who is sure to bring a smile to your face!

16.01.2022 Behind the scenes of the day to day life at Claremont Dental! Who could have dentaphobia when you have these friendly faces to help you out?

16.01.2022 Hey there Pinocchio! Did you know a Dentist knows when you tell them little white lies? We understand that when it comes to flossing, going that extra mile can be daunting - especially when you just want to go to bed! But, we guarantee its worth it. So for strong, beautiful teeth that last, put in that bit of extra effort to floss daily to remove hiding food particles in between your teeth... No more flossing fibs! Heres how to floss properly: ... Taking a length of floss about 40 cm long wrapping one end around each of your middle fingers Hold floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers, then gently guide the floss between two teeth until it reaches the gum line Move floss into a C shape on the side of one tooth and rub the floss up and down gently, pressing it against the side of the tooth Repeat this process for all your teeth, taking care to floss behind the back teeth as well.

16.01.2022 Cheeky Grin Irish Accent Good sense of humour Did we mention hes highly experienced in general dental, cosmetics and studying orthodontics, too?... Thats right, James is back sorry to break your heart guys and gals, but hes only with us for a short while! Although hes already busy with lots of former patients, drop by to say hello. See more

15.01.2022 Fight off that furry feeling. And no, we dont mean when you forget to shave. Now that we have your attention, we want to use it to talk about the other fluffy devil: Plaque. Its some serious stuff - the acid-producing bacteria that causes plaque and calculus have the ability to destroy the hard, protective coatings of your teeth leading to cavities and with it can come long term pain and sensitivity. Avoid the fuzz by taking these three simple steps: Brush and floss twice daily Manage your diet and lower sugar intake Stay on top of regular dental checkups.

15.01.2022 Trending now their smile! Music taste = dads record collection Moves = Tiktok Teeth = Claremont Dental ... Be sure their teeth shine as much as they do. Stay on top of your childs regular dental check ups these school holidays.

14.01.2022 Make your trip to the dentist as easy as a peaceful afternoon snooze! Get in touch today to find out how Sleep Dentistry can help you.

14.01.2022 Back off Jamie Hyneman and the Mythbusters crew, we’ve got these dental deceptions under control. Consider these dental myths busted! Brush right after eating: False! In fact, you should never brush right after eating as your teeth will be slightly weakened due to the change of PH in your mouth from different foods. It's best to wait a little while after dinner to brush, or at the very least have a cup of water in between. The harder you brush the better: Also false!... Brushing too hard can cause more damage than good and can cause your gum lines to recede or damage your enamel. You can inherit unhealthy teeth and gums: Yep, another false fact! Your oral health directly correlates to how well you look after your teeth, whether or not your parents had issues with decay, doesn’t mean your mouth will be the same. Diet drinks are better for your teeth: You guessed it, this is also false! Sugar isn’t the only culprit behind decay and damage, the acidity in sugar-free soft drinks or natural sweeteners used can cause just as much damage. The best rule of thumb here is that any kind of soft drink should be consumed only as a treat, and in moderation.

14.01.2022 Dentist appointments dont need to be a trigger for tears or tantrums. Heres how you can make checkups more comfortable and positive for your little ones: Ensure they visit regularly so they get to know their dentist and feel at ease Bring them earlier in the day or after a good nap (if possible) so they arent overtired Read them books about going to the dentist, or get creative and make up a story yourself! We always have a couple of take-home toys which will create a fun association with the dentist office.

13.01.2022 The ultimate sidekick to help you beat plaque and gum issues whilst keeping your breath minty fresh? Mouthwash. With so many different brands out there, its hard to know which one is actually good, and safe. (Hint: its more than just a minty taste). Healthline recommends you should look for these ingredients: Fluoride: helps prevent decay and strengthens your enamel Essential oils: menthol (peppermint), eucalyptus and thymol (thyme) help freshen your breath plus conta...in antifungal and antibacterial properties Cetylpyridinium chloride: targets bacteria and helps prevent bad breath from returning Chlorhexidine: tackles tricky plaque and prevents gingivitis Carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide: makes your pearly whites, well, pearly white.

13.01.2022 Current. Sharp. Skilled. The best quality of care comes from an investment in education and training. Heres a happy snap from our recent X-ray training day!

13.01.2022 Happy Monday! It’s smiles all round behind the front desk today. That leads us on to our big question for the day When was the last time you came in for your annual checkup? With the chaos of this year it's easy to forget how quickly time has passed. So if you’re waiting for a reminder to book in, this is it! These happy faces are here and waiting to hear from you.

12.01.2022 Were back and better than ever! Claremont Dental is now open Monday-Saturdays with all regular procedures to resume. To do it right, and for your health and safety we will ask all patients to: Have their temperature taken upon arrival Use hand sanitiser both when entering and leaving the reception area Reschedule if you or anyone you live with has shown cold or flu symptoms or returned from abroad in the last 14 days.

12.01.2022 Coffee makes the world go around We cant get enough of the tasty treats and hot coffees from Academy Claremont just across the road at the Claremont Quarter. You can even cheekily pop out during your childs appointment. Yum!

10.01.2022 When holistic health and dentistry meet, it means not just treating your teeth in isolation but looking at how your dental health impacts your life as a whole. Thats why preventative dentistry is such an important part of what we do. By nipping problems in the bud early on, it becomes easy to maintain a natural, healthy smile for life. Thats why preventative dentistry is so important to us, it means we can help shape your overall health on a day-to-day basis and support your long term wellbeing.

10.01.2022 When your dentist is the patient Dom played patient for the day so that all the nurses could get experience with the brand new OPG / Cone Beam CT machine! This machine will help us to make faster diagnosis for our patients.

09.01.2022 **Recent Update** A heartfelt hello to all of our existing and new patients.

09.01.2022 Smiles, snacks and a side of some social distancing with some of our team (minus a few!). Planning for the future is always a great time with this bunch of happy faces, no matter whats going on in the world.

08.01.2022 Have you been naughty or nice this year? Remember, it’s not too late to book your annual checkup before Santa visits (and your health insurance rebates expire on the 31st). Remember we close from Thursday, December 24th and will reopen on Monday, January 4th.

08.01.2022 BOO! Did we give you a fright? We’re here to wish you a very Happy Halloween! While sugary treats might not be the best for your teeth all the time, we will look the other way this weekend. Just promise us you’ll floss tonight

07.01.2022 We love coffee almost as much as we love healthy, happy smiles. What we dont love, is stained teeth from the high tannin count. Were only human, so cutting out our beloved brew is simply out of the question, but luckily there is a simple trick to help. Just drink ONE glass of water before and after your caffeine fix to help neutralise the acids and tannins left behind. Thats all it takes.

07.01.2022 Buzz off. Bad breath can be a social self-esteem killer, but in most cases, you can fix it with subtle adjustments to your daily brushing routine. Clean your whole mouth, not just your teeth: plaque and bacteria can quickly build up on your tongue and gums too so make sure you gently clean your tongue, inner cheeks and the roof of your mouth Floss daily: get rid of sneaky food particles in between your grooves Use a good mouthwash: freshen your breath, help clean hard to brush areas, remineralise your teeth, target any bacteria missed with brushing, and reduce acid levels in your mouth.

06.01.2022 Unfortunately we cant treat you from the comfort of your own bed, but if you have a little dentaphobia, Sleep Dentistry is the next best thing! You can ask us anything by getting in touch.

05.01.2022 Step away from floating teeth. Dental implants are the permanent tooth loss solution you’ve been waiting for. Unlike a denture, dental implants become a part of your mouth so you can enjoy a perfect smile at all times.

04.01.2022 You might remember us talking about sleep dentistry a couple of weeks ago. Wondering how it works? Here are the basics behind the most common three types: Oral Sedatives: Taken before treatment, oral sedatives are a milder treatment option to help you stay cool and calm Laughing Gas: Stronger than oral sedatives, laughing gas wont knock you out but can help you relax and create positive emotions Intravenous Sedation: Also known as Twilight Sedation, this will help you quickly and effortlessly drift into sleep for the duration of your treatment.

When you book a full dental exam and clean this September, youll save $120 on Zoom Teeth Whitening.* Safe, in-chair whitening Quick and painless Normally $795, now $675 when you book a full dental exam and clean.

03.01.2022 Preventive care is always the best approach, but you can actually reverse the early stages of tooth decay. With some help, your enamel can actually repair itself in the very early stages of decay. If you suspect that you might have early decay, book an appointment right away to tackle it before fillings are needed.

03.01.2022 Downward dog? Warrior Pose? Jeez Yoga is actually tougher than it looks. But its important to understand full-body health and oral health go hand in hand because its benefits totally outweigh the hard work. Thats why we engage in a little afternoon yoga to keep us active and healthy outside of the clinic. The American Osteopathic Association says yoga can help you: Improve respiration, energy, and vitality Promote good cardio and circulatory health... Lower the risk of injury Increase flexibility, muscle strength, and muscle tone. Get it done!

02.01.2022 Wishing you a very merry Christmas in July! Whether you celebrate the season or not, we hope you get some time to kick back and relax (and maybe sneak in a hot choccy or two)

02.01.2022 Take a peek behind the scenes at what the Claremont Dental team get up to when theyre out of the office! Sandra, Fiona, and Viv are certified (by us) kitchen whizzes and love to try out some thermomix cooking. Now just to convince them to share

02.01.2022 Get great whites for a brighter bite. A whole 8 shades whiter in just 30 minutes. Save $120 on Zoom Teeth Whitening* when you book a full dental exam and clean this September! Normally $795, now $675. Ends September 30.

02.01.2022 Apart from regular checkups, these are the signs that your little one needs a trip to the dentist: A constant bad taste in their mouth Extra sensitive teeth Pain when eating or drinking Bleeding or inflamed gums.

02.01.2022 Even the most routine brushers have experienced it. Bleeding gums. Caused by gingivitis (an inflammatory response to plaque and calculus), its easy to beat with good brushing and oral hygiene. Heres a quick refresh of the basics: Brush twice daily for 2-3 minutes: Yes even if youre really tired Tip: Dont brush too hard Limit sugar intake: The only thing that loves sugary treats more than us is plaque and calculus Drink 2-3 litres of water daily: Not only is it good for your overall health, but water helps wash away any remaining sugar or food in your mouth Floss daily (yes you hear it all the time but it really is important). Flossing removes the little food particles and plaque caught between your teeth that your brush cant reach.

01.01.2022 How cute is this snap of Dom with his kids Wishing a very happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there!
