22.01.2022 Tooth Brushing Hack You should actually wait 20 minutes after eating to brush your teeth! Why? Brushing right after eating can lead to abrasions and faster wearing of teeth enamel due to the high levels of acid in our saliva at that time.... However, it's always better to brush when you can rather than not brush at all.

22.01.2022 Best 4 Snacks for Oral Health 1. Berries 2. Pineapples 3. Pears... 4. Melons These fruits are easier on your tooth enamel than some due to their low acidity. They also contain polyphenols which actively protect against decay. And they just so happen to be a sweet treat, so you won't have to persuade the kids too much.

21.01.2022 Hard vs soft toothbrushes? If you find it hard to choose, don't worry. A soft toothbrush with angled bristles is a great option for most people, especially children, as it's gentle on your enamel and gums. To book an appointment, call us on (07) 5520 2277

18.01.2022 Why do we need to Xray your teeth? Sometimes a visual examination doesn't tell us everything we need to know. Having an x-ray of your teeth lets us see between and inside your teeth. We can also view the tip of your roots and bone underneath your gums places not normally visible to the naked eye.... That means we can diagnose any issues early and ensure you have a healthy mouth and you keep your teeth picture perfect for a lifetime.

18.01.2022 The tooth fairy can teach good dental habits! I’m sure every parent out there knows the struggle of teaching dental hygiene to kids. Try reminding them that the Tooth Fairy is only looking for healthy baby teeth, not teeth with cavities and get them excited about taking care of their teeth!

18.01.2022 DENTAL TIP: Flossing before brushing helps fluoride reach in between teeth. Flossing loosens bacteria and food debris from between the teeth, which allows brushing to be much more successful at removing plaque.

18.01.2022 When was the last time you replaced your toothbrush We recommend replacing toothbrushes every 3 to 4 months. Consider getting a new toothbrush sooner if you have been sick, especially if the toothbrush is stored close to other toothbrushes. When in doubt, look at the bristles. If they are frayed, they won't clean teeth as thoroughly so its time to get yourself a new one.

17.01.2022 5 reasons to smile: Smiling makes us attractive Smiling relieves stress Smiling helps our mood Smiling is contagious... Smiling helps you stay more positive So what are you waiting for? SMILE!

17.01.2022 Don't you wish you had teeth like a shark? Not only are they incredibly powerful, but if one falls out, a new tooth grows right back in. Sounds like a pretty handy skill to us!

17.01.2022 Do you know where to find us? Harvie Dental is located at 2 Diana Avenue, Burleigh Heads. Our opening hours are: Mon - Fri: 8am-6pm Chat to the Harvie Dental team ... Call (07) 5520 2277 See more

15.01.2022 Let's talk about charcoal toothpaste... Although it can seem satisfying to scrub your teeth with the popular ingredient, researchers have found that it may cause more harm than good. Charcoal is abrasive and may actually wear down your tooth enamel and stain dental restorations like fillings, veneers and crowns. Ask about what toothpaste we recommend at Harvie Dental at your next check-up.

15.01.2022 A change of perspective In many South-East Asian countries, braces are considered to be an edgy and cool statement accessory for teenagers. They will pay up to $2 000 to have them fitted purely for cosmetic reasons! It just goes to show, braces can be both a fashionable and functional investment.

13.01.2022 Did You Know? On average, you swallow 1200 - 2000 times every day, using about 1.8kg of pressure each time. Talk about hard work! Luckily, this response is subconsciously automated by our bodies.

13.01.2022 How often should you floss At least once per day to remove plaque, bacteria and food debris and help prevent cavities and gum disease So what happens if you don’t Sticky deposits build up in between your teeth and eventually hardens. The resulting substance is called tartar or calculus, and it can lead to gum disease. It also means you’ll be visiting us more than you would like

13.01.2022 We're a little different. We understand that not everyone loves the dentist. That's why we endeavour to make our clients' experiences as positive and comfortable as possible. After all, creating a great smile should be a great experience!

13.01.2022 Did You Know? Your mouth will make enough saliva in your lifetime to fill two swimming pools. As crazy as it seems, a healthy rate of saliva production helps to protect against plaque and staining. You can maintain this by constantly sipping water throughout the day.

12.01.2022 Harvie Dental provides a service for New Dentures, addition to Dentures or Repairs to Dentures. If you have any enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us for genuine professional advice. That’s the Harvie Dental way.

12.01.2022 Did you know there are lots of different bacteria that live in your mouth? Some bacteria are beneficial to your oral health, others are not. Studies have shown that when a select group of these oral bacteria encounter and digest sugar, they actually produce dangerous acids in your mouth. These acids destroy the tooth enamel, which is the shiny, protective outer layer of the tooth.... How to stop teeth erosion? Brush and floss twice a day, decrease your sugar intake and see us regularly.

12.01.2022 Do you floss? If you don't, you can miss cleaning up to 35% of the surface of your teeth. Here is the good news: flossing takes less than a minute, and is a great habit to get the kids into.

10.01.2022 When it comes to oral health habits, many people regard flossing as optional.
