24.01.2022 It is never too early to encourage healthy dental hygiene for kids. Your child's teeth are at risk of decay as soon as they first erupt. The good news is that tooth decay is completely preventable! A regular six- month visit to the dentist from a young age is a great way to get kids familiarized and help prevent decay. Check your child's teeth at home, generally when the first primary tooth erupts. Healthy primary teeth are white without spots or stains, and healthy gums are ...smooth and pink. Flossing should begin when your child has two teeth that are touching, which normally occurs around two to two and a half years of age. Children can brush independently by age six and we recommend adults help until then. Brushing and flossing are a very important part of your child's dental hygiene regimen. Children tend to have trouble flossing until they are around 810 years old. An excellent tool that will aid your child while they learn how to floss is the floss holder. You and your child can brush and floss together. Dental hygiene does not have to be a chore. Instead, it can be a fun bonding activity for you and your child

23.01.2022 Over the holidays we all tend to enjoy more treats than usual. If your diving into a box of chocolates or a rich dessert, try to rise your month with some water afterwards. This helps remove any remaining food between your teeth and actives your saliva to stop decay. Rinsing with water is also a good idea after having red wine, carbonated drinks and coffee as it will reduce the staining effect and keep your teeth white. We hope you all have great holidays, filled with laughs and smiles

23.01.2022 Today is World Cavity-Free Future Day (WCFFDay)? Dental Cavities is the most common chronic disease on the earth, despite it being mostly avoidable. The aim of WCFFDay is for greater global awareness of cavities and how to combat them the best we can. We all know what cavities are but how to they form? We share our mouths with many different bacteria. As we eat and drink the bacteria feed on any leftovers and create plaque on our teeth. As the plaque creates acid which atta...cks the enamel surface of our teeth starting the demineralisation process. If the demineralisation of our enamel happens faster than we repair / protect it, then a cavity form. To contest with the decay and stop the cavities we can follow these simply steps: Fight the Bacteria by brushing twice and flossigng once a day to minimise the build-up of plaque. Reduce the frequency of sugary and starchy foods to minimise the plaque’s ability to produce acid. Increase your teeth’s defences by using a fluoridated toothpaste which help remineralisers the enamel. Regular dental check-ups and hygiene cleans.

22.01.2022 Chewing gum has existed in various forms for centuries. Originally created from tree saps, it’s now made from a blend of synthetic materials. The physical act of chewing gum increases saliva in the month which in turn neutralises the acid from food, thus stopping the harmful bacteria from attacking and damaging your teeth. Other benefits that occur while chewing gum include improved memory, enhanced cognitive powers, and reduced stress levels. Remember to always pick a sugar-free gum and chew for 20 minutes after eating.

17.01.2022 Let’s start the new year off with a smile! Smiling is one of the most important expressions we use to communicate. Along with this, smiling releases endorphins which makes us feel happy and less stressed. If there is any part of your smile you would like help with, please let us know.

16.01.2022 Our appointment book is filling fast as the end of the year approaches.

Appointments for lengthy procedures such as, crowns and root canals are running out. Please check with your private health insurance to see if you have any funds remaining before your health fund resets in the new year. We will do everything possible to see you before then, but please don’t leave it until the last minute to book.

13.01.2022 A very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our principal dentist Stewart! We all hope you have an amazing day filled with laughs, smiles, and lots of presents. May the next year of your life be the best one yet!

12.01.2022 If your toothbrush looks like the one on the left, then it’s time for a replacement. As we use our toothbrushes the bristles become frayed. Once this happens your toothbrush loses its effectiveness to remove plaque. We recommend changing your toothbrush every 3 months or after you have been sick. This will ensure you don’t keep any bacteria after being unwell. Children tend to brush harder and may require a new brush more frequently than adults.

09.01.2022 Summer is upon us and as the temperature rises, we start to protect our skin from the sun, but what about our teeth? Here are some tips to help you keep your teeth happy and healthy over the summer time. Staying hydrated is important as our saliva is comprised mostly of water, it is no surprise that dehydration leads to dry mouth. Besides being uncomfortable, dry mouth can contribute to the formation of cavities and bad breath. It is important to note that, once you feel thir...sty in the heat you are already dehydrated. Some swimming pools have extra high chlorine levels that can weaken your teeth. Where practical, try and brush your teeth after swimming in a chlorinated pool. Can your teeth get sun burnt? The short answer is no. Your lips on the other hand can be burnt by the sun. Always use a SPF 15+ lip balms as they are more effective than applying regular sunscreen to your lips. There are lots of reasons to smile throughout the summer time. Evidence suggests that smiling reduces stress and makes us feel good, it’s also contagious. So, smile way to make everyone you see have a better day!

However, we know as dentists that some people choose not to smiles because of their teeth. If there is any part of your smile you would like help with, please let us know.
