18.01.2022 How do we know the average Australian isn’t giving their dental health the required amount of attention? Australia’s Oral Health Tracker, launched last year and updated in 2020, is a national report card on the health of our mouths and how this impacts how healthy we are overall. You can find out more about how healthy we are and how healthy the ADA would like to be at ada.org.au/oralhealthtracker... -- #DrCharlie #Dentistry #OralHealth #ADA #AustralianDentalAssociation #DHW #DHW2020 #DentalHealthWeek #DentalHealthWeek2020 #Sugar #Shopping

13.01.2022 Time to take a closer look at your supermarket purchases they might not be as healthy as you think! Sugar is everywhere in supermarket staples, even some that might appear to be healthy on the surface, and so this Dental Health Week (3rd 9th August), the ADA @australiandentalassociation is pulling back the sugary curtain to show you what’s really in the food you eat, and how this information can help you be healthier overall, but especially in your mouth.

06.01.2022 To help you get within the recommended sugar range and be healthier, this year’s Dental Health Week is all about showing you what daily sugar consumption levels look like in relation to the food you eat, how to read a food label so you can see what’s really in your food and how sugar can negatively affect your dental health!

06.01.2022 Say goodbye to horrible mouth moulds! Dr. Charlie Kahwagi uses an Intra Oral Scanner to create a 3-D image of your mouth. This means no more nasty mouth impressions for almost all procedures including, crowns, implant work, dentures, mouthguards night splints orthodontic aligners and whitening trays. Since digital scanners are more accurate than outdated impression methods, the results obtained with modern technology are excellent and most importantly, more comfortable for ...most patients. To experience the difference, call Briony his patient coordinator to book an appointment.

04.01.2022 In addition to helping my own patients with their orthodontic needs, this is my other passion. I am looking forward to teaching modern and practical orthodontic techniques to other dentists to help them deliver excellent treatments for their patients..

04.01.2022 You might think that a little extra sugar here and there isn’t such a big deal, but the odds are that you are taking in far more than you realise Figures show that the average Australian is consuming 14 teaspoons of sugar a day, a whole lot more than the maximum six teaspoons a day recommended by the World Health Organisation for increased health benefits such as decreasing the risk of tooth decay, which is having a profoundly negative effect on Australia’s dental health!...
