25.01.2022 Would you know what to do if an adult tooth was knocked out? Check that the person has no other injuries. Do all you can to keep them calm. Find the lost tooth and hold it by the crown, not the root.... If the tooth is dirty, rinse it in milk (or very briefly in tap water). Do not scrub it. Place the tooth back into the socket, making sure it’s facing the right way. Hold it in place with a soft cloth or use aluminium foil to splint it into place If the tooth can’t be put back into place, keep it in milk or saliva and take it with you to the dentist See your dentist immediately, ideally within 30 minutes. We will always make time to treat a dental emergency, so please don’t hesitate to call us. https://corinnadental.com.au/wrath-of-trauma-do-you-know-d/

21.01.2022 In this video, Explaining Gum Disease, the Australian Dental Association shares many useful facts about gum health and the different types of gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis. Healthy gums should appear pink and firm. They shouldn't bleed during cleaning (brushing or flossing).... Inflamed or diseased gums bleed easily and might look red and puffy. But gum disease often isn't painful until the late stages, when it's sometimes too late to prevent teeth from becoming loose or even falling out. Watch the video, and visit our website for more information on gum disease and how to keep gums healthy. https://corinnadental.com.au/about-gingivitis-periodontiti/ And if you have any questions about the health of your gums, give us a call.

20.01.2022 Today is World Teachers' Day in Australia. This year, despite major challenges, teachers have made sure education continues across the country. It’s reinforced the significant role that teachers play in the lives of children and students, their families and communities. A huge thank you to all of our teachers! Happy World Teachers' Day!

20.01.2022 As health practitioners, our dentists are concerned about the overall health of our patients. It's part of their role to be aware of the signs and symptoms of many health conditions, even ones that dentists don't typically treat. One symptom that many Australians experience from time to time is tiredness. There are many reasons for waking up feeling tired. Unfortunately, some Australians are tired because they have an undiagnosed condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OS...A) that reduces the quality of their sleep. According to the Australian Dental Association, two out of every three sufferers aren’t even aware they have obstructive sleep apnoea, a common night-time breathing condition. People with OSA can experience repeated episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the throat during sleep. This can reduce or stop breathing for a short time, leading to falling blood oxygen levels. As well as tiredness, people with OSA can experience significant health issues. As well as noticing your tiredness, your dentist is on the lookout for other signs of OSA. These include TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorders) cracked, broken or missing teeth excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching worn front teeth If your dentist suspects OSA, they'll encourage you to consult with your medical practitioner. The fitting of an oral appliance is sometimes recommended as part of the treatment of mild-moderate OSA. Corinna Dental's Dr Chris Hardwicke holds a Graduate Diploma in Dental Sleep Medicine. He liaises closely with local Sleep and Respiratory Physicians to provide treatment for patients with OSA. You can learn more about the management of OSA here: https://corinnadental.com.au//special/anti-snoring-device/ And please read this great article on the Australian Dental Association website: https://www.ada.org.au//Sleep-Awareness-Week-2018-what-is-

18.01.2022 Teeth can get cracks for several reasons; Trauma A solid-enough impact to the mouth can cause teeth to crack... Decay If decay softens the dentine inside the tooth, the overlying enamel won’t be properly supported and can chip or break Stress If you habitually grind or clench your teeth, the enamel can develop hairline cracks or even break off. If you notice or suspect a crack in one or more of your teeth, consult your dentist as soon as possible. We can provide treatment for cracked teeth We can help you to prevent future cracks Call us! - Woden - 6282 2605 - Brindabella Business Park - 6257 0393 - Deakin - 6281 4666 Visit our website to request an appointment - https://corinnadental.com.au/appointment/

18.01.2022 The average Australian is consuming 14 teaspoons of sugar a day. This is a whole lot more than the maximum of six teaspoons a day recommended by the World Health Organisation. Keeping sugar consumption to under six teaspoons daily decreases the risk of tooth decay. It also has a positive effect on general health....

15.01.2022 Stress and anxiety can cause you to grind your teeth while you’re asleep. This is a condition known as Bruxism. Bruxism can cause permanent damage to teeth. It can chip teeth and fillings and wear down enamel. And once it's gone, enamel doesn't grow back. The tooth wear caused by grinding can also cause tooth sensitivity. Sometimes the front teeth can visibly be shortened, which sometimes causes cosmetic concerns.... If stress is affecting your dental health in this way, please consult with your dentist. We can provide treatments which protect teeth from the effects of bruxism, repair broken teeth and fillings and help you manage symptoms and cosmetic issues related to worn down enamel. Learn more about the effects of stress on dental health here: https://corinnadental.com.au/stress-and-your-teeth/

15.01.2022 Good dental hygiene is always important. During occasions like Hallowe'en, it's critical. Make sure your children keep their teeth clean. They need to brush and floss their teeth, and should definitely not skip or forget cleaning before bedtime! #KeepingTeethSafeAtHalloween

14.01.2022 How much toothpaste do you use? Whenever toothpaste companies advertise their product, they show a toothbrush laden with toothpaste (like images A and B). But this is far more toothpaste than is needed! ... Fluoride toothpaste strengthens enamel, but more is not better. As a result of doing what the ads recommend, many Australian households are wasting toothpaste (and spending more money on toothpaste than they need to). So how much toothpaste should you use? Children seven years and up and adults only need to use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste, around the size of a pea (image C). The same amount of a low-fluoride toothpaste is enough for children from the age of three. It's OK to clean an infant's teeth without toothpaste (D), up until they are 18 months old. Then a small, grain-of-rice-sized smear of low-fluoride toothpaste is all that's needed until the age of three years. And don't forget to clean between the teeth at least once a day! https://www.abc.net.au//are-you-using-too-much-to/10792828

12.01.2022 Children should visit a dentist for their first checkup when their first tooth appears or they reach 12 months of age - whichever comes first. Their first visit will be a short appointment. We love having small children in the practice and we’ve got lots of ways to make their visit enjoyable. The aim of this visit is three-fold: They’ll see what their dental home looks like and will meet their dentist and other dental team members... We’ll check their mouth to ensure that they’re on track for having good dental health And we give parents an opportunity to ask questions about their child’s teeth and their home-based dental care. We welcome children at every one of our three locations: Woden - 6282 2605 Brindabella Business Park (Airport) - 6257 0393 Deakin - 6281 4666

11.01.2022 The first step towards protecting your teeth from the effects of stress is a correct diagnosis. It’s important to know that dentists can only assist you with the treatment of the SYMPTOMS of stress. The treatment of stress itself falls outside the domain of dental care. We encourage you to speak with your medical practitioner to seek advice about the best way to treat or manage your stress or anxiety. But we can certainly help to protect your teeth, jaw joints and facial mus...cles from the effects of bruxism (tooth clenching and grinding due to stress). We can also provide treatments to reduce tooth sensitivity caused by clenching and grinding repair chipped or broken teeth or fillings manage other symptoms or damage caused by bruxism You can learn more about the treatments we can provide here: https://corinnadental.com.au//occlusal-splints-nightguards/

09.01.2022 It's Dental Health Week. This year we're inviting you to think about the sugars that might be hiding in your shopping trolley. The Dental Health Week campaign includes recommended daily sugar consumption levels, advice on reading food labels, and spells out the effect sugar has on our teeth. The key messages are:... Consume no more than 6 teaspoons (24 grams) of free sugar per day as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Choose foods with less than 10 grams of sugar per 100 grams. Look out for hidden sugars when purchasing foods and drinks. In the images below, you'll see statistics about the percentage of Australian adults and children who consume more than the daily recommended amount of sugar. Unfortunately, the oral health of many Australians is not where it should be. If you're worried about how much sugar you or your loved ones are consuming, we're here to help. Please call us, or speak to your dentist at your next appointment. - - - - - - - - Image Sources: Australian Dental Association 2020.

01.01.2022 When your children want to eat some of their Hallowe'en stash, it's important to time it right. Encourage them to only eat sweets with or shortly before mealtime. Avoid snacking on lollies. By eating sugary treats only at or near mealtime, the teeth will only be bathed in sugar solution for a limited time. The increased saliva flow produced during a meal will dilute the sugars and neutralise acids, thus protecting the teeth. ... #KeeoingTeethSafeAtHalloween
