18.01.2022 ***Important Information*** To our dear patients, ... In line with recent advice about social distancing and trying to flatten the curve by learning from healthcare cases overseas, we have made the difficult decision to postpone all non-urgent dental treatment at this time.

Some night time slots may be available for workers.

18.01.2022 Happy Dental Health Week Hump Day! Hope youre having a great week so far scoping out Hows Your Oral Health Tracking? One of the key aims of this years theme is to encourage people to use floss or interdental toothbrushes between teeth daily... So weve collated a few of our blog posts to help you along. First up, tiny teeth need floss too! A guide to how to floss your childrens teeth: https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/how-to-floss-childrens-/ And dont forget to set a good example, and floss your own teeth with this article we wrote entitled Mission Imflossable: https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/flossing-new-year-resol/ Last but not least, weve got an article on another part important part of the oral hygiene regimen and avoiding bad breath - tongue cleaning! Check it out here: https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/the-importance-of-brush/ We hope you are enjoying Dental Health Week so far! Happy brushing and flossing! Well see you and your family at your next checkup!

18.01.2022 We hope you are having an awesome Dental Health Week, Everybody! Now that we have had the opportunity to conquer brushing, heres the masterclass in flossing!!! Brushing helps us clean about 60% of a tooths surfaces, however, without flossing up to 40% of the tooth remains uncleaned. Often this results in bad odours from retained food, gum disease due to bacteria attracted by the old food and an increased risk of tooth decay.... Check out the informative video below for an easy introduction to flossing. We previously posted a written "how-to" guide to flossing (with two different methods of preparing your floss - one with Dr Bill Morris special method). You can find it here: http://highgatehilldentist.com.au/flossing-new-year-resolu/ Flossing childrens teeth may sound difficult but it does not have to be. We believe it is important to start good habits early. You can find our guide here: http://highgatehilldentist.com.au/how-to-floss-childrens-t/ Flossing only takes a few minutes of your time every night, but the benefits will last you a lifetime. Happy flossing and we will see you at your next checkup! #dentalhealthweek #watchyourmouth #flossing #highgatehilldentalcentre

If you think you need a refresher in brushing or flossing, check out the Australian Dental Association website: https://www.ada.org.au//Oral-Health-/Brushing-and-flossing We also have a blog post on keeping bad breath at bay, that you may be interested in. https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/halitosis/ Dr Aoibheann also has some tips on a good oral hygiene regime! https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/daily-dental-hygiene-ro/ Happy Flossing!

08.01.2022 We all know that eating and drinking sugar greatly contributes to tooth decay. (If you don't, then checkout our awesomely titled blog article "The Sweet Truth about having a Sweet Tooth": https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/the-sweet-truth-about-h/) Research shows that average Australians are consuming 14 teaspoons of sugar per day. The World Health Organisation recommends a MAXIMUM of 6 teaspoons. Wow. Our aim this Dental Health Week is to bring attention to all the hidden s...ugars in our foods that we buy and consume. Sometimes sugar is unavoidable, but having healthy habits is not. We recommend: 1. learning about how to read sugar labels 2. brushing twice a day 3. flossing at least once an evening 4. Visiting your dentist regularly for your checkups Learn more about how to calculate the sugar in foods you consume: https://www.ada.org.au//Ora/You-are-what-you-eat-and-drink Happy brushing everyone!

08.01.2022 Hi everyone, If you're not sure on which side of the fluoride divide you reside, then give our latest article a read. Fluoride provides a range of benefits for our oral health, however sometimes comes under fire due to concerns about excessive exposure and toxicity. To help you decide where you sit, we've broken down the science of how fluoride prevents tooth decay and debunked a couple of myths along the way. checkout the science behind fluoride ... https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/the-fluoride-divide-tap/ for a refresh of daily oral hygiene routines (with fluoride) https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/daily-dental-hygiene-ro/ Happy reading!

07.01.2022 Hi Everybody, Welcome to Dental Health Week! 3-9 August 2020 is Dental Health Week, and through this tough year, we seem to be doing a little less eating out and a little more cooking at home. We seem to be hearing great stories of experimentation with sourdoughs, baking awesome red velvet cakes and slow cooking those briskets just right (yeay! And yum!).... So this year we are concentrating on bringing awareness to all the hidden sugars in our grocery purchases. We want you to be a bit more "sugar savvy" about your purchases and how they will ultimately affect your and your familys overall health and teeth. You can visit the Australia Dental Associations Dental Health Week website for more information at https://www.ada.org.au/Dental-Health-Week-2020/home. Theres even a podcast available if you are time poor at https://www.ada.org.au//Oral-Health-for-B/Running-an-Event Lets all embrace this opportunity to get healthy together. Happy Dental Health Week!

02.01.2022 Hi Everybody! Welcome to Dental Health Week (August 5 - August 11)! Did you know that according to the latest research by the Australian Dental Association: ... * 50% of Australians brush their teeth only once a day * 40% of Australians never floss their teeth; and * 65% of Australians havent seen a dentist in over 2 years? That is why for Dental Health Week this year, we are checking in to see "Hows Your Oral Health Tracking?" This is an extension of the the ADAs Oral Health Tracker - which is a world-first initiative that documents and tracks the oral health status of Australians. Its a little report card, to see how we are collectively doing at looking after our smiles as a nation. This year we are focusing on some easy and important changes in behaviour to keep your teeth and gums looking and feeling great : 1. using a fluoride toothpaste to brush 2 times a day 2. using floss or an interdental toothbrush to clean between your teeth at least once a day 3. reducing sugar intake and eating a balanced diet 4. Regularly seeing the dentist for preventative checkups! And for those of you that are already doing it, good on you, you should be so proud! For more information on the week itself, head on over to: https://www.ada.org.au/Dental-Health-Week/Home And for more dental information and information about our clinic, you can also check out our blog: https://highgatehilldentist.com.au//highgate-hill-dental-/ Happy Dental Health Week!

01.01.2022 Happy Dental Health Week, Everybody! (And that includes you, kids!) This year we are checking in to see Hows Your Oral Health Tracking?... Statistics from the Australian Dental Associations Oral Health tracker have shown that: Up to 34.3% of children between the ages of 5 and 6 have experienced tooth decay in their baby teeth; while Only 68.5% of children between the ages of 5 and 14 brush their teeth twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste. One of the main aims of this years Dental Health Week is a focus on brushing twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste. It is always best to ask your childs dentist what is best for your child, as every child is different. There are a lot of products to choose from when it comes to children, and we have written a general guide to childrens toothpaste and toothbrushes to help parents navigate all the choices available. You can find it on our blog here: https://highgatehilldentist.com.au/kids-toothbrush-and-too/ It is our belief that having an awesome first impression at the dentist is helpful for establishing great, healthy lifelong dental habits. Our Highgate Hill Dental team are always trying our best to give kids a fun experience when they visit us. We think it takes away some of that anxiety of the unknown and also helps teach kids that a trip to the dentist is not as scary as people may have told them. They also experience that regular checkups are easy, and not something to dread. Picking up where the dental team left off, parents can then concentrate on establishing good brushing and flossing habits at home: brushing twice a day and flossing once nightly.

Hope to see you, your family and your lovely smile soon at your next check up with us. #dentalhealthweek

01.01.2022 Continuing education and staying up to date is an important value for our team at Highgate Hill Dental Centre. You may have noticed that Drs Bill Morris and Will Wang were away last Friday. They were busy at Dental Update - a 2 day seminar, learning about a wide range of dental subjects ranging from Temporomandibular joint disorders, to oral surgery updates and anterior buildup techniques, amongst other exciting topics. They are back this week though, to look after all your t...ooth and gum needs! See you at your next checkup!
