Most of the time we don't think about what we are consuming and we end up ingesting more sugar than we should. Do you know how much sugar is hiding in your every day drinks? Have a look: - Energy drink (250ml): 7.5 teaspoons - Iced coffee (500ml): 11.5 teaspoons - Bottled Orange Juice (450ml): 11.75 teaspoons - Coca Cola (600ml): 16 teaspoons - Water (750ml): ZERO teaspoons Feeling thirsty? Our old friend water is the #1 choice. But if you are looking for something with a little more flavour, try adding some sliced lemon, cucumber or mint to it #dentalhealthweek #youarewhatyouconsume #dentalforpeople #dentistryplus #dentistry

11.01.2022 Lets talk about Health To celebrate Dental Health Week 2020, over the next days we will be illustrating some BAD and GOOD Health habits. HEALTHY KIDS... Raising kids is not easy and its common for parents to be caught up in a huge workload or errands. The environment in which we raise our kids contributes to their socio-emotional development. Exposing kids to toxins and pollutants, such as cigarettes for example, can have a negative impact on childrens cognitive development. On the other hand, toxin-free environments provide a positive impact on childrens well-being. Studies suggest that childrens mental skills can be enhanced by activities in natural play spaces. Also, sunlight is essential for their bodies to synthesise vitamin D, which contributes to healthy bone development. Take a look at some tips for raising healthy kids: - Check Vitamin D levels; - Supervise technology use; - Incentivise involvement with physical activities; - Make time for the kids; - Remind your kids to brush their teeth before going to school and before going to bed; - Set a good sleep routine. Why not enjoy Perths great weather and spend more time outdoors with your children? Parks are excellent places to get active and to bond with them in a healthy way!
