25.01.2022 Having citrus fruits on a regular basis is a great way to up our vitamin C levels. But what we need to be careful of is the effects citrus has on our tooth enamel. Citrus fruits are very acidic and cause your enamel to soften. When eating citrus, we need to ensure we drink a glass of tap water straight after and also make sure we DONT brush our teeth within 30 minutes of consuming it.

25.01.2022 Toothpaste! How much toothpaste is enough? Its funny the amount of toothpaste one person to another puts on their toothbrush. But guess what, we only need a PEA sized amount to do the job. Next time you place your toothpaste on your brush, think of the size of a pea. youll be surprised how far a small amount of toothpaste can get you.

25.01.2022 We would like to thank everyone so far for your generous donations and please feel free to subscribe to our YouTube channel "For The Sake Of Beirut" to see our journey along the way. #forthesakeofbeirut #teethonwheels

24.01.2022 Grinding! When grinding our teeth they start to wear down over time. If you or someone in your family is making crunching noises while they sleep, then getting a check up is very important. Sometimes grinding can just be situational and caused by stress but it can also be a lifetime habit. If its a habit, then a night-guard might be exactly what you need to protect your teeth.

24.01.2022 Who doesnt love a snack? Even though we all need a snack from time to time, try keep your snacking as healthy as possible. Instead of reaching for the chips, lets reach for a piece of fruit.

22.01.2022 Floss! It just looks like a piece of string you can tie on the end of a balloon. But did you know flossing is just as important as brushing? No matter how much you brush, your toothbrush just cant reach those tight areas between your teeth. This is where food gets trapped and causes decay if not cleaned on a regular basis. So flossing at least once a day is the best way to prevent decay in these areas and keep your gums healthy.

21.01.2022 Braces! A great way to straighten your teeth, but a great spot for food to get caught and cause decay. With braces we need to ensure we are being extra vigilant with our brushing. Brushing twice a day morning and night and using interdental brushing is extremely important while you or your little one has braces on. We want to ensure once the braces comes off, your pearly whites are as healthy as ever, so you can flash off your new smile.

21.01.2022 A little bit of green should always be seen! Trying to add some green vegetables in your family's diet is very important. They're packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber and have many health benefits. The easy thing about your greens is that you can easily slip them into any meal of the day. If it's an omelette for breakfast, a salad or sandwich for lunch or a side of greens for dinner, any way that fits best for your family is perfectly fine.

21.01.2022 Avocado! A very yummy and healthy treat full of good fats and fiber. But did you know an Avocado is a fruit? Making avocados apart of your family's diet is a great way to get those good fats into everyone. We like to have our avocado on toast in the mornings, how do you have yours?

21.01.2022 Milk! A great source of calcium for growing bodies. But did you know that milk still has sugar in it! It's perfectly fine for a child to drink some warm milk before bed, but due to the sugar content, it is really important that your child is brushing their teeth for 2 minutes prior to sleep. We want to ensure all sugar has been removed from around the teeth and gums prior to settling in for the night.

20.01.2022 Storing your toothbrush! This may sound a little silly, but it is important not to place a wet toothbrush into to a closed toothbrush holder. We need to ensure your toothbrush has had a chance to dry before storing it away. We want to make sure we are decreasing the chance of bacteria growing on your toothbrush by allowing drying time. Otherwise placing your toothbrush in an upright holder allowing the bristle to be air dried is the best way and always remember to replace your toothbrush every 3 months.

20.01.2022 Welcome to Dental Health Week! This week we are focusing on how much sugar is hiding in your trolley. Do you know??

20.01.2022 To Dummy or not to Dummy that is the question! Dummies can cause so many questions and there are too many places that have multiple answers. Should I use a dummy? Which dummy should I use?... Does a dummy cause teething issues? When is the best time to remove a dummy? Everyone has their own recommendations but we like to direct people to the raisingchildren.net.au website. They have all the answers you need to help make a decision that is best for your family and if you have any further questions about teething issues then dont hesitate to call our team. See more

19.01.2022 Chewing Gum! Its not actually bad for your teeth. But do you know what is? Chewing gum with sugar in it. Make sure when you pick your next piece of gum that you are choosing a sugar free option. ... We like to chew on Extra Gum. They have the best sugar free range and it leaves your breath smelling fresh. See more

But even if we are eating healthy your 6 monthly check up and clean appointments are still required to review the health of all your teeth and gums. Australian Dental Association

15.01.2022 The end of the year is around the corner now and everyone is starting to get a bit tired. This is the time of year we start to see brushing slip away. A visit to the dentist is very important now to remind the whole family about how important it is to brush and floss. Have you booked your appointment yet?

15.01.2022 Apples! A quick and easy snack for the whole family. Apples are a great lunch box treat, you can chop it up in bite sized pieces or just eat it whole. Whichever way you like to eat it is perfectly fine, as long as you give it a rinse before hand. They do say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

15.01.2022 Keep up the water! Water is very important to keep hydrated. With this warmer weather here we need to ensure we are drinking more water than usual, especially for those little legs running around outside.

12.01.2022 Do you apply pressure when brushing? Applying to much pressure isnt to good for your teeth and gum health, and can cause damage in the future. When brushing we need to make sure we are being fairly gentle especially around the gums. If you notice the bristles of your toothbrush are starting to bend, then this is a good indicator that your applying to much pressure.

12.01.2022 Who is your friend that can always put a smile on your face?

12.01.2022 The cold weather is here to stay! Do you have sensitive teeth? Oral-B have a great range of sensitive toothpaste to help you this winter. Remember to place a little bit on your finger and rub it on those sensitive areas and leave it for 30 minutes without rinsing.

11.01.2022 Why is an eye tooth called a canine? Our eye teeth are named canine teeth as they have they same resemblance as a canines tooth. They arent as long or as pointed but they are somewhat the same. They are also called eye teeth because they sit directly under your eye, now thats a cool fact!

11.01.2022 Dip! Popping some dip in your children's lunch boxes is a great way to get them to eat their vegetables. We like to place hummus and carrot sticks in our lunch boxes and find it's usually one of the first things to go.

11.01.2022 Food on the go! The best way to ensure you and your family are choosing healthy options throughout the day is all in preparation.

09.01.2022 Brushing your tongue is just as important as your teeth! Our tongues are always forgotten about, but its just as important to give your tongue a good brush in the morning and night as well. Our tongues are an easy area for bacteria to hibernate, so without cleaning your tongue, you will still have plenty of bacteria in your mouth even after cleaning your teeth every morning and night.... When your brushing your teeth tonight, just take an extra 10 seconds to give your tongue a little scrub as well.

09.01.2022 Water! Getting your daily intake of water is important not only for our bodies but also our teeth. By training your children to drink plenty of water while they are young, they are bound to carrier this habit throughout their lives. Lets all have an extra glass of H2O today!

08.01.2022 X-rays!! Fun Fact- Dental x-rays are one of the lowest radiation dose studies performed. A routine exam which includes 2 bitewings is about 0.005 mSv, which is less than one day of natural background radiation. It is also about the same amount of radiation exposure from a short airplane flight (1-2 hrs).

Once we have finished our healthy breakfast make sure we brush those teeth for 2 minutes before leaving the door to go on with our day.

07.01.2022 A smile is like a balloon, for some reason they just make you feel happy! Make someones day today and send a smile in their direction, you will be surprised how many you get in return.

07.01.2022 Sugar! We all love a bit of sweet in our lives. But did you know that sugar has a major impact not only in your health but also the health of your teeth. After eating sugar your mouth is left with high levels of plaque. plaque is a build up of bacteria that sits around your teeth and starts causing decay if left. So, to prevent decay we really need to limit the amount of sugar we eat and ensure after eating sugar we drink plenty of water and brush our teeth.

04.01.2022 Juice! Tastes delicious, but packed full of sugar. When buying your next store bought juice, be sure to double check the sugar content. We find so many people thinking juice is a healthy option over cordial but unfortunately juice can sometimes have more sugar than what you think. If you have time to make your own juice at home then thats great but even if your making your own, juice still sits in the sometimes column.... Lets limit the amount of juice we are drinking and make sure we replace it with water. See more

02.01.2022 Muesli Bars! Muesli bars can be extremely delicious but they can also be extremely high in sugar.

The best way to ensure you are popping health muesli bars into the lunch boxes is to make them at home. They are quick and easy and can be a really fun activity for the whole family to do.

01.01.2022 Ice cream! With the warmer weather making an appearance, so do a lot of icy treats. Ice cream and Icy-poles are packed full of sugar, so we need to ensure we are keeping these treats as sometimes foods even with the warmer weather here. After we have had a sugary treat we need to make sure we are thoroughly brushing for 2 minutes to remove any sugar from around the teeth and gums.
