20.01.2022 Following the ADA's advocacy victory in restoring the CDBS cap to $1000, the Association was back in Canberra meeting with Health Minister Greg Hunt and Austral...ian Greens leader Senator Richard di Natale. Top of the agenda with the Minister was increased promotion of the scheme, use of the ADA's Australian Dental Health Plan as the template for Government-funded dental services, and all-important private health insurance reform.

18.01.2022 Mouthguards in Sports: A Necessary Piece of Equipment Footy season is upon us again and while we are all getting back into training and organising our kit, let'...s think about protecting our mouths! The National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety reports dental injuries as the most common type of orofacial injury sustained during sports participation. They contend that an athlete is 60 times more likely to sustain damage to the teeth when not wearing a protective mouthguard. Often times these injuries will result in permanent damage to oral structures which require medical intervention. Types of Dental Injuries Injuries to the teeth can be grouped in three different categories with care specific to each type. Fracture- can be classified as a root fracture, broken tooth or chipped tooth if possible, stabilize portion of tooth still in mouth by gently biting on towel to control bleeding athlete and tooth fragments should be transported immediately to a dentist best methods of transport of the tooth are in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution, milk, saline soaked gauze, or under the athlete's tongue Avulsion- entire tooth, including root, knocked out do not handle tooth by the root (tooth should be handled by the crown) do not brush, scrub, or sterilize tooth if tooth is dirty, gently rinse with water if possible, place tooth back in socket and have athlete gently bite down on towel if unable to reimplant tooth, transport tooth with the athlete as described above to the dentist immediately Luxation - tooth in socket, but in wrong position Extruded Tooth - tooth appears longer than surrounding teeth Lateral Displacement - tooth pushed back or pulled forward For extruded or laterally displaced teeth, provide the following care: The tooth will need to be repositioned in socket using firm finger pressure. This is probably best done by trained dental/medical personnel. Have the athlete gently bite down on a towel and transport immediately to a dentist Intruded tooth - tooth looks short, pushed into gum. Donot attempt to reposition tooth transport athlete immediately to a dentist It is important to remember time is critical when handling dental injuries. Do not allow the athlete to wait until the end of the game to seek treatment for a dental injury. Transport them to a dentist within 2 hours for the best outcomes. To help prevent against such injuries, a well-fitting, dentist-made mouthguard is a great investment. When we run out onto the field, let's remember to protect our teeth. Have fun everyone!
