24.01.2022 We recommend a healthy diet for overall health and well being. For a healthy morning snack try chopped up cheese, carrots, fruit or yoghurt. Avoid sugary snacks in the afternoon and especially avoid sugary snacks in kids lunch boxes.... A healthier alternative for afternoon tea are nuts, seeds, fruit, cut up vegetables and eggs (Beware of allergies). Did you know that there is 6 teaspoons of sugar in a 200mL apple juice? Avoid fruit juices and poppers in kids lunch boxes! Instead fill up your water bottle every morning. Tap water is a much healthier and inexpensive drink!

16.01.2022 During pregnancy, it is important to schedule a professional clean to ensure you have healthy teeth and gums before your baby arrives.

15.01.2022 *Should I be using a manual or electric toothbrush?* The choice between manual and electric toothbrushes is personal, both are equally effective at removing plaque if they are used with the correct technique and kept in good condition. Remember to replace brushes and brush heads every 3 months, more often if the bristles are frayed or worn.... Manual toothbrushes should have small heads to reach all teeth including the back molars, and soft bristles to be gentle on gums. Electric toothbrushes are a good fit for everyone, especially the elderly, children and people with braces as the motion of the brush gives an effective clean without as much effort. Ask us about the right toothbrush for you at your next dental visit!

13.01.2022 It can sometimes be your first choice when exercising or playing sport, to grab a sports drink. However, sports drinks can cause extensive tooth erosion as they are highly acidic. During intense exercise, we tend to become dehydrated and our saliva flow slows. The effects of sports drinks can be even more pronounced during exercise because when our saliva flow is reduced, its capacity to buffer against acids is reduced. Next time you are out on a run or a bike ride, take your water bottle instead!
