23.01.2022 How long since you changed your toothbrush? Using a worn out toothbrush to clean our teeth is going to be ineffective at removing that plaque!

22.01.2022 Is it time for you to visit a dental professional?

22.01.2022 Did you know...
21.01.2022 How long has it been since you cleaned between your teeth? Plaque is constantly building up on our teeth. It is made up of the bacteria that live in our mouths and food debris from the food and drink we consume throughout the day. If we fail to remove plaque properly by brushing twice a day and daily flossing we are putting our teeth at a higher risk for developing dental caries, also known as a cavity or tooth decay. #DentalHealthWeek2020 #DentalFacts #Plaque #DHW

03.01.2022 MEN WHO USE DOMESTIC & FAMILY VIOLENCE Many factors can reliably predict the risk of perpetrating violence. One key set of factors is to do with masculinity, that is, the attitudes and behaviours stereotypically associated with being a man. Longstanding ideals about manhood include ideas that men should be strong, forceful, and dominant in relationships and households. Boys and men are exposed to constant messaging that they should be tough and in control and are often forc...ed to spend their lives trying to prove their manhood all the time, while women are often seen as lesser, or even malicious and dishonest. Men who conform to these ideals are more likely to hit, abuse, coerce, and sexually harass women than men who see women as their equals. Whats more, men whose male peers tolerate or use violence are themselves more likely to do so. These harmful ideals not only lead to the perpetration of violence against women but also its perpetuation. The good news is there is widespread recognition that to prevent and reduce violence against women, we must engage men and boys in this work. We have an opportunity to reshape healthier, safer more respectful ways of being men.
