25.01.2022 Ben and the team are super excited that summer is finally upon us and with the change in seasons comes the harsh Australian sun. Lately weve seen far too many patients who are undergoing treatment for skin cancer. The effects are absolutely devastating, and in most cases completely preventable. Ben has been passionate about skin health after losing his father to melanoma. ... Sunscreen is often greasy and unpleasant to wear, so Ben has gone to great lengths to source an SPF15 "prescription strength" product that youll actually want to wear every day.

20.01.2022 With so much to think about during pregnancy, its easy to overlook dental care. Pregnancy causes hormonal changes that increase your risk of developing gum disease. These changes also can affect the health of your developing baby. Here are five easy ways to ensure youre getting the best oral care during pregnancy and after.... 1. Keep up with regular dental visits. Some women hesitate to seek dental care during pregnancy because they fear it could harm their unborn baby. However, forgoing or delaying treatment poses a much bigger health risk. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained to care for the oral health of pregnant patients and their growing babies. If your dentist doesnt offer prenatal dental care, consider adding a dentist with experience treating pregnant patients to your health care team. 2. Cope with morning sickness. Brushing your teeth while bracing yourself against a riotous stomach may seem nearly impossible, but many women find it easier if they use a bland-tasting toothpaste. You should also rinse out your mouth with water or mouthwash after vomiting, because stomach acids can erode protective tooth enamel. Likewise, brushing your teeth too hard may further scratch enamel, so be gentle. 3. Eat a tooth-friendly diet. Your babys first teeth begin to develop about three months into pregnancy. Given that your baby eats what you eat, consuming a variety of nutritious foods is a vital part of prenatal care. A healthy diet includes dairy products, including cheese and yogurt. These are sources of calcium and essential minerals that are good for babys developing teeth, gums and bones. 4. Keep up with daily care. Nothing can replace daily at-home dental care. To help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, brush your teeth thoroughly with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes at least twice a day. Once a day, clean between your teeth with floss. And when shopping for oral-care products, select only those carrying the American Dental Associations Seal of Acceptance, an assurance these products are safe and effective for both mom and baby. 5. Keep your babys mouth bacteria-free. Babies are born without the bacteria that cause tooth decay in their mouths, but parents and caregivers will often unknowingly pass it to them by using the same spoon or cleaning pacifiers in their own mouths. Avoid introducing these bacteria to your babies by keeping your own teeth and mouth healthy and properly cleaning anything that will go in your childs mouth.

20.01.2022 The winter sports season is upon us and wed like to remind our patients that a custom made mouthguard is the best way to protect teeth from injury. Over the next few months, well inevitably see damage to teeth, permanent nerve damage and even knocked-out teeth through sports related trauma. Thats a lifetime of dental work that could have been prevented from a $200 mouthguard! While boil-and-bite mouthguards were once a popular option in childrens sports. The Australian De...ntal Association now cautions that they dont adequately spread the impact-load like a custom guard made by your dentist. Our guards come in custom colours and are molded to your individual teeth for greatest force dissipation. Call today to arrange an appointment with Ben or Clint on 9477 6464. Best of luck guys!!!

19.01.2022 We all tend to eat comfort food in the colder months; however excessive sugary sweets can take their toll on our oral health. Brushing immediately after eating should be avoided, as food acids can soften tooth enamel. Instead, brush your teeth at night before you go to sleep to remove plaque that accumulates during the day. If youve previously avoided brushing your teeth at night, try these helpful tips to get in a better daily routine:... Set a nightly reminder alarm Keep your toothbrush in sight Write a reminder note on your bathroom mirror With a regular morning and night brushing routine, we can be confident satisfying winter cravings without any surprise dental visits.

16.01.2022 Christmas time is notorious for adding stress to an already chaotic life. Ben and the team hope that you can enter the holiday period with minimal worry and lots of well deserved relaxation. So what does it mean when you dream that your teeth are falling out? Have you ever woken up and remembered your teeth falling out or breaking in a dream? It could mean something important about whats going on in your life. Its also a very common dream that people remember on a regula...r basis. There are a few explanations for why you may be experiencing these types of visions, and were breaking them down for you so that you can better understand whats happening in your mind. The most likely meaning behind these dreams is that youre not taking good care of yourself and you know that. When your teeth are broken and gone, it takes away your ability to do many things like eat or talk normally. Your mind could be telling you that you need to start looking after yourself, whether it be mentally or physically, in order to clear your conscience. It could also stem from your fear of getting older. If youve had any important changes or developments recently occur, you could be thinking about your life overall. If the idea of aging makes you nervous, it could be on your mind when you fall asleep, which is why youre having those dreams. Thoughts of your teeth falling out could also be a sign that you need to be nurtured. You may not even realise it, but if you dont have anyone in your life to look after you, you could be longing for that. These dreams are your way of telling yourself that you want somebody in your life who you can count on. As you can see, there are many ways to interpret this type of dream. The best thing to do is examine your life and see if any of these explanations apply to you. Once you correct whats happening in your life, those dreams should go away. Take care of yourself (and your teeth) over the break.
