25.01.2022 Work with your dentist as a guide to the most suitable time interval between your check-ups based on your individual needs. Since your individual needs can change over time, your dentist's recommendation may change over time too.

23.01.2022 Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural painkillers, and serotonin. The happy hormones. Together these three neurotransmitters make us feel good from head to toe. However, if the colour, shape or condition of your teeth has caused you embarrassment, prevented you from smiling or affected your confidence, you might want to look into how advances in dentistry might help you smile again and release those happy hormones.

21.01.2022 Dental anxiety is a fear or anxiety associated with going to the dentist. And although most of us would prefer to spend our time anywhere else than seeing our dentist, the truth is that having a healthy mouth is a vital part of our overall good health.

20.01.2022 Did you know that 54% of Australians have Private Health Insurance, but many of us don’t take full advantage of our cover and use all entitled benefits? Most major health funds reset benefits on December 31. Keep smiling and book your appointment today! pacificsmilesdental.com.au/uioli

20.01.2022 A dental emergency usually involves injury to a tooth/teeth due to trauma (e.g. a knocked out or dislodged tooth), an infection of the tooth or soft tissues, severe dental or facial pain (usually a pain that is not relieved by painkillers), fractured teeth or a tooth with an exposed nerve. Where things such as this occur it’s time to get yourself along to the dentist sooner rather than later.

19.01.2022 We're excited to announce the opening of Pacific Smiles Dental, Bondi Junction on Monday November 16. This marks the 100th centre for Pacific Smiles Group which is a huge milestone for the company! To celebrate we have 100 goodie bags to give away, so visit us at Eastgate Bondi Junction from 9am-12pm on Monday to collect yours!

17.01.2022 For some people, wisdom teeth come through without any concerns and function normally as other teeth do. The problem with wisdom teeth usually arises when there is not enough room for them to erupt and they become impacted.

15.01.2022 If your tooth is knocked out, it is important that you visit the dentist as soon as possible after the incident to minimise any permanent damage.

15.01.2022 Close to three million Australians have asthma, meaning around 1:9 people are affected by this respiratory disease. And although we understand a lot about how asthma can be triggered and attacks treated, we’ve not always fully appreciated the link between asthma and oral health.

15.01.2022 Absolutely thrilled to have Harries Bondi Rescue and Libby Babet join us for the opening of the 100th centre for Pacific Smiles Group at Bondi Junction! Visit our new centre in person or book your appointment online today https://ps.dental/2FNpNut

14.01.2022 We’re all familiar with the look and taste of processed sugar. The granules we add to our tea and coffee and the immediate sweet taste from cakes and biscuits make sugar easy to recognise. But sugar can come in many forms and it’s not always easy to detect its presence or how much we’re eating.

14.01.2022 Pacific Smiles Dental is now open right in the heart of Wollongong. Our new clinic is open 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday, and conveniently located in the Crown Street Mall right near the Post Office. Come and see us to book your next appointment or book online at www.pacificsmilesdental.com.au

14.01.2022 Less than 50% of Australian adults have had a dental check-up in the last 12 months according to the Australian Dental Association. Here’s what you can expect when you go for a check-up. https://www.pacificsmilesdental.com.au//the-ultimate-chec/

14.01.2022 There are all sorts of health benefits to cutting back on sugar. And although we’ve always known about the relationship between sugar and tooth decay, there’s increasingly more evidence about sugar’s connection with other health related conditions too. High sugar diets increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease, as well as other, often complex health issues.

13.01.2022 Studies have shown that young Australian adults between 18-24 years have more decay than most 12 year olds. The causes for this are unsurprising, with a flow-on effect from less parental supervision and reminders about tooth cleaning, eating a healthy diet and ensuring regular dental appointments.

13.01.2022 Most of us are aware of ways to care for our teeth and prevent tooth decay. Gum care, though less well understood, is just as important. Gum disease is caused by the bacteria that live in plaque, a sticky colourless film which forms on our teeth after eating. Unless plaque is frequently removed with brushing or dental cleaning, the bacteria in plaque can cause gum infection and tooth decay. Left untreated, gum disease can progress to affecting the bone that supports the teeth.

12.01.2022 Teething time can instill fear and dread in even the most seasoned mum. People often associate teething with a cranky baby, irritability, flushed cheeks, and sore, red little gums. Regardless of your teething experience, what can you do now and in the future as baby teeth emerge? How do you best look after these baby teeth?

10.01.2022 Orthodontics is often associated with correcting teeth alignment during the teen years when all the adult teeth have appeared, however with advanced technology, more and more adults are choosing to look at corrective orthodontic or dental treatments later in life, it is no longer restricted to teens.

10.01.2022 Many people still don’t know about the CDBS and what it can mean for their family. Make sure you don’t miss out on $1000 in free* dental care for your kids! https://www.pacificsmilesdental.com.au/ne/free-kids-dental/

06.01.2022 Click on the see more button below to reveal the answer ... Your dentist will be able to provide you with a demonstration and advice about the proper brushing technique for your toddler. There are no right or wrong ways when it comes to little people. The important thing is that you continue to brush your child's teeth for them or for older children encourage them to brush twice a day taking their time to brush every tooth carefully. For older children, plaque disclosing tablets and solutions containing special blue and pink dyes can be used at home to show up the plaque bacteria growing on the teeth. This is a useful way for your children to see where the germs are that need to be brushed away.

05.01.2022 Most of us can easily recognize sugar in its processed form. Sitting prettily in a sugar bowl, those brown and white crystals don’t claim to be anything other than what they are. But sugar can also be a master of disguise, hidden in many of the foods and drinks we consume. And no matter how it’s presented and whatever it’s in, sugar has the same effect on our body and importantly, our teeth.

For children that struggle to sit in the dental chair, there are a few options available including the use of happy gas or referral to a dentist who has a special interest in children’s dentistry or a paediatric specialist. It is important that your child doesn’t develop a phobia of dentists. Stopping the rot It is often a battle of wills when it comes to getting children to clean their teeth but the reality is, if it’s not done regularly, tooth decay and gum disease can set in, bringing with it an elevated risk of pain and expense which is entirely preventable. Along with a twice-daily regime of brushing and flossing, try to limit their consumption of sugary foods and drinks such as lollies, soft drinks, and even savoury biscuits, snack bars and muffins. If you do give your child a snack it’s best to stick to meal times only and limit grazing choose unprocessed food like vegetables, cheeses and lean meats. Checking for decay You can easily check the state of your child’s teeth by lifting their top and bottom lips and checking the teeth for early warning signs for decay. Grey, brown or black spots indicate advancing tooth decay and an appointment with your dentist should be booked as soon as possible.

03.01.2022 Most of us are aware of the aches and pains of aging, though our mouth and importantly, our teeth tend to demand less attention. There is real value in prioritising our oral care as we get older, because poor oral health can negatively impact our overall health and wellbeing.
