25.01.2022 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!...

24.01.2022 This year, Dental Health Week (DHW) is focusing on sugar; the ADA plans to highlight the effects of sugar on oral health, and how to interpret nutrition information panels, all while shedding light on hidden sugars. With good health in the spotlight more than ever thanks to COVID-19, the ADA's flagship oral health promotion event is doing its part by exposing the hidden sugars in our diet. More hidden sugar insights coming soon --... #DrCharlie #Dentistry #OralHealth #ADA #AustralianDentalAssociation #DHW #DHW2020 #DentalHealthWeek #DentalHealthWeek2020 #Sugar #Shopping

21.01.2022 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! We hope you learn a thing or two before you next do your weekly shop! --... #DrCharlie #Dentistry #OralHealth #ADA #AustralianDentalAssociation #DHW #DHW2020 #DentalHealthWeek #DentalHealthWeek2020 #Sugar #Shopping

20.01.2022 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 Since digital scanners are more accurate than outdated impression methods, the results obtained with modern technology are excellent and most importantly, more comfortable for ...most patients.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.
