19.01.2022 It’s important for your children to visit the dentist by the age of four or five years. They’re welcome to visit earlier they can come in at the age of three just to have a quick look. This is a way of normalising an oral hygiene routine, by making them comfortable towards regular visits, the young kids understand that the dentist is certainly no ‘boogeyman’. Mind you, I encourage parents not to threaten their kids with a visit to the dentist if they don’t brush their teeth... properly. This creates an impression that seeing the dentist is a negative thing and is some kind of punishment. By making oral hygiene fun and an activity that can be shared with both parents is going to work in the kid’s advantage. Instilling a good oral hygiene routine at a young age should last them the rest of their life. It becomes a normal part of their day-day-to-day routine.

13.01.2022 Unlike most dental practices that outsource ceramic work, we are proud to have our own in house ceramist Chloe and most of you have met her. Chloe is the most recent generation in a long line of dental technicians, with both her father and grandfather being leading ceramists in South Korea. She grew up watching her family practice this art-form. Chloe graduated from The University of Busan, South Korea in 2009. Soon after graduation, she accepted an offer from a leading den...tal lab in Melbourne and made the bold move from Korea. After six years of industry experience, Chloe shared a similar vision with The Dental Room and started Luminous Dental Lab, her own dental venture within The Dental Room. THis has resulted in tremendous success as clients are realising that the work of the ceramist is just as important as that of the dentist. Chloe specialises in full mouth reconstruction and combination cases involving dental implants, crowns, bridges, and veneers. Her goal is to give every client what they want. She has the gift of implementing her artistry in a way that blends perfectly with the aspirations of each patient. DISCLAIMER: Results may vary between individuals.

04.01.2022 Parents sometimes dread taking their kids to the dentist, but it doesnt have to be traumatic for anyone. Often parents fear is born out of their own experience when they were kids. But childrens dentistry has changed a lot since then. Here are my top tips for making your trip to the dentist as smooth as possible. Start them young: The earlier a child visits the dentist, the better.... Keep It Simple: When preparing for a visit, especially the first time, try not to include too many details. Watch Your Word: Dont use words such as needle, hurt or pain when explaining what will happen at their visit Consider a Pretend Visit: For younger children, you can try and play pretend with your child to be the dentist and the patient. All youll need is a toothbrush. Count your little ones teeth or hold up a mirror and show her how the dentist might look at and check their teeth. Emphasize the Importance of Good Oral Hygiene: Teach your child that visiting the dentist is a necessity, not a choice, and that the dentist will take care of their teeth so that they are strong enough for them to eat. You might also explain that the dentist helps keep cavities at bay.

02.01.2022 Have you ever wondered how we prepare teeth to receive veneers? Veneers are essentially ceramic contact lenses that are bonded over the teeth to achieve the appearance of the smile.

The preparation for veneers is precisely minimal (0.2mm). The... client leaves our office for a week with a temporary mock smile made with resin. Our in house ceramist, Chloe, then takes feedback from the client whilst wearing the temporary resin veneers and uses this as a guide to create your final porcelain veneers. Stay tuned to see the second stage of this smile transformation!
