24.01.2022 "Because life doesn't come with a manual, it comes with a mother."

22.01.2022 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. If you feel like something’s not quite the same with someone you know there’s something going on in their life or you notice a change in what they’re saying or doing - trust that gut instinct and take the time to ask them Are you OK? If someone says they’re not OK, make time to listen, encourage action and check in. That conversation could change, or even save, their life. If you need assistance please call: Lifeline 13 11 14 (available 24/7) Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467 (available 24/7)

15.01.2022 Getting your teeth straightened isn’t simply about getting some braces fitted so you can have a more beautiful smile. Granted a perfectly-aligned set of teeth can deliver a winning shot of self-esteem, but there’s more on offer, from what’s officially known as orthodontics, than a dazzling set of pearly whites. Some other good reasons to straighten your teeth are - It is easier to keep your teeth and gums clean - You’ll have less wear and tear on your teeth from clenching and... grinding - You’ve got less chance of damaging your gums - There’s less stress on the jaw joint from bad biting patterns While there is no guarantee that teeth straightening will conclusively fix your dental problems, it can make a significant difference to problems caused by ‘malocclusion’, more commonly referred to as misaligned teeth.

08.01.2022 Tips on how to protect your teeth from sugar

07.01.2022 Wishing all the school leavers attending final assembly's and dinners the best of luck. Enjoy yourselves, make memories and be safe.

06.01.2022 BREAKING: The National Cabinet approved a move to Level 1 restrictions! This change means more Australians can soon get the treatment they need and get back to their dentist! The announcement that gives dentists the ability to perform all dental treatments using standard precautions for people who do not meet epidemiological or clinical risks for COVID-19.... Level 1 restrictions will take effect once the Dental Board of Australia communicates this advice to registrants having seen official correspondence from the Chief Medical Officer. Individual states and territories may still have or choose to apply restrictions higher than the Level 1 minimum to address local conditions or future outbreaks. The ADA has developed a decision tree to assist you in implementing Level 1 restrictions, available at https://www.ada.org.au/Level-1-Decision-Tree
