21.01.2022 Habits For Your Child’s Dental Success Getting your child on the path to a lifetime of excellent oral health starts when they’re young. So it’s a good idea to take your child to the dentist for a checkup by their first birthday. Seeing a dentist at this age may help prevent dental problems such as cavities and allow your child to be more comfortable seeing a dentist.... In addition to seeing the dentist every six months for a checkup, children should be encouraged to maintain other healthy habits. These include brushing at least twice a day and flossing at least once a day to remove plaque between teeth. Avoiding sugary juices and foods is also important to keep plaque from forming. Whether they’re a toddler or in their teens, children who get regular dental checkups and practice healthy oral hygiene habits can smile brighter for a lifetime. Contact us today to schedule your child’s next checkup! For all your dental needs please call us at Riaz Dental on (02) 68621261 or visit www.riazdental.com.au



18.01.2022 Preventing Gum Disease Gum disease is one of the most common oral health issues that we see. It begins with the plaque that is forming on your teeth this very moment. This sticky, colourless film contains saliva, food particles and bacteria. The toxins produced by the bacteria cause irritation to the gum tissue around each tooth. If plaque isn’t consistently removed as it forms, gingivitis can result. Gingivitis can produce chronic bad breath and irritated gums that often ble...ed during brushing. Some people think the pink in the sink is merely from brushing too vigorously. Unlikely. Usually it’s a sign of gingivitis. If neglected, gingivitis can worsen into full-fledged periodontitis. This is a more advanced and destructive form of gum disease. It attacks the bone and supporting tissues below the gum line. Teeth often loosen or shift position. Thankfully, with consistent use, your toothbrush and flossing can usually stop gum disease in its tracks.

16.01.2022 Foods That Can Whiten Your Teeth. Red wine, tea and black coffee are known to stain teeth. But here are some foods that can actually help whiten teeth. Apples Bite into an apple and you're helping to strengthen your gums. Plus, the high water content in apples helps increase the production of saliva. This in turn can help wash away bacteria that can lead to stained teeth.... Seeds and Nuts Sunflower seeds, walnuts and almonds provide important trace minerals. Plus, their abrasive texture helps to remove surface stains. Think of them as an exfoliator for your teeth. Strawberries The malic acid in strawberries can act as an astringent that can help reduce tooth discolouration. For a refreshing change, mash up a strawberry and use it as toothpaste! Baking Soda Speaking of toothpaste, try brushing with baking soda. This pantry staple acts like a bleaching agent, scrubbing off plaque and surface stains.

15.01.2022 What's the Wisdom on Removing Third Molars? Wisdom teeth (third molars) typically start developing in the teen years. By the end of that period, the crowns of the wisdom teeth usually begin to erupt through the gums, if there's sufficient room. By your mid-twenties, wisdom teeth will have entirely erupted through your gums, or become impacted. While wisdom tooth removal is seen as a rite of passage, not everyone will need to have their wisdom teeth removed. If your wisdom te...eth are correctly positioned and completely healthy, they can remain. If wisdom teeth are crowding your other teeth, they will likely require removal. If wisdom teeth symptoms such as pain, soft tissue infection and extensive tooth decay aren't addressed, they can eventually lead to various dental problems: damaging adjacent teeth, tooth or gum disease and oral cyst development. Your dentist can determine the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend the type of extraction.

14.01.2022 What’s the Best Time to Floss? Besides brushing, flossing pays the greatest dividends when it comes to oral hygiene. Is there an ideal time to floss? Yes. Anytime! Today, we know that using an interdental cleaner (like floss) is part of taking care of our teeth and gums. Yet, many of our older patients see flossing as, well, optional.... Maybe because it wasn’t until the 1980s that flossing was acknowledged as a helpful self-care procedure. Granted, brushing and flossing after every meal is ideal. But if flossing is going to be a once-a-day habit, consider this guideline. If you’re a morning person, floss in the morning. If you’re a night owl, floss at night. If you’re not sure, floss before bedtime. That way your mouth will be clean while sleeping. Finally, should you brush first or floss first? It doesn’t seem to matter. However, those who brush first seem more likely to neglect flossing because their mouth feels clean.

13.01.2022 Chomping, Chewing and Munching Our teeth are actually part of the digestion process. Chewing our food is known as mastication. How you chew and for how long, can affect our digestion and overall health. Here are some key benefits of slowing down and fully chewing our food:... 1. Better nutrient absorption Chewing breaks down the foods we eat into smaller particles. That permits our intestines to better access the nutrients in our food. 2. Better weight control Chewing long enough to fully liquefy every mouthful takes time. This allows our body to signal the brain that we’re full, reducing overeating. 3. Better digestion Proper chewing means the digestive enzymes in our saliva can better do their job. If larger particles of food reach the intestines, bacteria is unable to break it down, leading to gas and bloating or diarrhea and constipation. Take the time to fully chew your food. Enjoying it is one of life’s greatest pleasures. For all your dental needs please call us at Riaz Dental on (02) 68621261 or visit www.riazdental.com.au

12.01.2022 Sensitive Teeth? No Problem Does eating a spoonful of your favourite ice cream result in pain? If so, it’s likely you have sensitive teeth. Living with sensitive teeth can make it seem impossible to eat cold (or hot) foods, or even brush your teeth. Thankfully, sensitive teeth aren’t something that you have to live with for lifeyou just have to know what steps to take to minimise the symptoms.... Here are a few tips: Tip 1: Don’t over-scrub. Brushing too hard or using a medium to firm-bristled toothbrush can cause gum recession and abrasion to your enamel. When exposed, your tooth will become more sensitive than it already was. Tip 2: Use sensitive toothpaste. Toothpaste that is specifically formulated for sensitivity block off the pores of your sensitive teeth, protecting the nerves from stimuli. Tip 3: Apply a fluoride varnish. Fluoride varnish is a nearly instant desensitiser when applied to your tooth.

08.01.2022 Sugary Snacks Sabotaging Your Smile? Keeping your teeth free of cracks and cavities can be as simple as taking inventory of your snacks. Calcium-rich foods and crunchy fruits and vegetables are great choices. But the typical snacks are not only bad for your oral health but your overall health as well. Soft, sticky candies such as taffy and caramels coat the surface of your teeth, feeding the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Likewise, hard candies can leave your teeth bathed... in cavity-causing sugar. Even worse, if you bite down on a hard candy your tooth could crack or chip. While popcorn isn’t the worst offender when it comes to tooth damage, biting down on an uncooked kernel can produce hairline fractures. Chances are you wash your snacks down with some type of drink. Choose water, as sodas are high in decay-causing sugar. Protect your teeth. Make teeth-smart snack selections, brush and floss each day, and get regular checkups.

08.01.2022 How Often Do I Need Dental X-rays? The answer depends on many factors, including your age, dental history and certain dental conditions. Most individuals have a complete series taken every three to five years, as well as bitewings, once annually. Wondering why you need X-rays? X-ray images can alert us to a range of conditions, including decay between teeth, gum disease, bone infections, abscesses, problems with teeth formation and even tumours.... By identifying these problems in their earliest stages, you can avoid discomfort or pain, and costlier more extensive dental care. Remember that the small amount of radiation that you are exposed to during the X-ray process (particularly when digital X-rays are taken) is minor compared to the potential benefits of having them taken. For example, if a tumour is detected early your life could be saved. If it’s been a while since you’ve last had X-rays taken, give our practice a call.

07.01.2022 Are Your Snacks Damaging Your Teeth? Keeping your teeth free of cracks and cavities can be as simple as taking inventory of your snacks. While calcium-rich foods and crunchy fruits and vegetables are great choices not only for your oral health but overall health, other foods can tarnish your teeth. Soft, sticky sweets such as taffy and caramels cling to your teeth’s surface, contributing to tooth decay. Likewise, hard sweets can leave your teeth bathed in cavity-causing sugar.... Not only that, if you bite down on a hard sweet your tooth could chip! While popcorn isn’t the worst offender when it comes to tooth damage, chewing uncooked kernels can cause cracks in your teeth. Chances are you wash your snacks down with some type of beverage. Choose water, as sodas are high in decay-causing sugar. Want a brighter smile? Make teeth-smart snack selections, brush and floss each day, and get regular preventative checkups.

06.01.2022 Complications From Crooked Teeth Most people choose to correct crooked teeth for cosmetic purposes or to improve self-confidence. Did you know that living with misaligned teeth could also negatively impact your health? Here's how: ... 1. They’re hard to clean. It can be difficult for toothbrush bristles and floss to get between and around crooked teeth, which can lead to a higher risk of oral diseases. 2. They’re injury prone. Crooked teeth that protrude are more likely to crack or chip should an accident happen. 3. Crooked teeth can influence gum disease. How? Gum disease can develop when bacteria in your mouth turns into plaque. When gums don’t fit around teeth properly, there’s more room for bacterial growth. Have you been thinking about correcting your smile? We’d be happy to speak with you about some of the best treatments available at our practice for an improved look.
