25.01.2022 What can cause bad breath? Bad breath is mainly caused by bacteria that break down proteins and release unpleasant smelling sulphur waste. The treatment of bad breath due to dental causes primarily involves eliminating the coatings of protein and bacteria in the mouth that release unpleasant smelling waste products. This can be done by maintaining a proper oral hygiene routine and treating any tooth decay or gum infection present in the mouth.... Tips for achieving fresh breath Floss and brush your teeth regularly Brush or scrape your tongue regularly Schedule professional cleans at the dentist every six months to remove hardened plaque (tartar) from teeth and to keep your gums healthy Drink plenty of water as dehydration can cause bad breath To find out how to treat bad breath, please make an appointment by calling us on (07) 4959 3044.

24.01.2022 Take a peek inside a snail's mouth if you ever get the opportunity: You'll find rows and rows of sharp chompers, making up thousands of snail teeth all together. But dont worry, snail teeth are also tiny: A single limpet tooth is slimmer than a human hair. That means a vicious snail on the loose can't do you much harmunless maybe you're a piece of grass :)

21.01.2022 Happy Dental Health Week! The focus of this years campaign is on the harm sugar does to oral health. We know the information about sugar can sometimes be misleading on packaging so here is a little something to think about the next time youre in the supermarket. Do you know the difference between Natural Sugar and Added Sugar? Natural Sugar refers to the sugar that is naturally present in whole, unprocessed foods and drinks. For example: fruit, milk and unflavoured yoghurt.... Added sugar is sugar added to foods and drinks during processing, cooking or before eating and drinking. For example, maple syrup, coconut sugar, brown sugar, rice malt syrup and sucrose (white sugar). Added sugar consumption should be limited to 6 teaspoons (24gr) or less, per day. Natural vs added sugar. Can they affect my teeth the same? Yes. However, foods such as fruit and milk are made up of small amounts of natural sugars as well as fibre, vitamins and minerals which are good for the body. Processed foods with large quantities of added sugar often have no or limited nutritional value. #dentalhealthweek

17.01.2022 GUM DISEASE is an inflammation of the gum that can progress to affect the bone that surrounds and supports your teeth. What causes Gum Disease? Bacteria in plaque, a sticky, white film that constantly forms on your teeth, cause gum disease. If plaque is not removed it can harden and turn into tartar (calculus). Additionally, dental plaque will continue to form on the tartar. Brushing or flossing cannot remove tartar; a dental practitioner will need to conduct a dental cleanin...g to remove it. Symptoms: Gums that bleed easily when brushing or flossing Swollen, red or tender gums Gums that recede from the tooth Persistent bad breath or bad taste in your mouth Loose teeth Treatment A professional cleaning by your dental practitioner is the only way to remove plaque that has built up and hardened into tartar. By scheduling regular checkups twice a year early stage gum disease can be treated before it leads to a much more serious condition. You can book an appointment with us by calling (07) 4959 3044 or by going to our website https://www.walkerstondental.com.au/contact-us/ #gumdisease #dentistinwalkerston #walkerstondentistry #dentalappointment

14.01.2022 One of the best ways to teach your children to brush away those invisible nasties is by example. They need help and encouragement to develop this new skill so try to make it fun. Here are 5 tips to help you encourage tooth brushing: Sing a song or make brushing noises... There are many dentist story books that can be used to help teach young children about brushing teeth Some children will do well using two toothbrushes. One for them to hold and use and one for you to brush properly Other children respond well to your turn, my turn, where the child brushes first then the parent brushes For older children, try using a reward system What song would your child decide to sing while they brush their teeth?

14.01.2022 We'd like to inform all our patients that we are open and taking appointments at this stage. It is however a constantly evolving situation and we will be guided by the decisions made by relevant governing authorities. We have always maintained rigorous hygiene and cross contamination protocols but we have implemented additional changes keeping the safety of our patients and staff as our primary concern. Safety steps we have taken include:... Scheduling appointments We are trying our best to schedule appointments in such a way that there are no more than 1-2 patients at any given time in the practice. We also are trying to space apart the appointments for this reason. Priority will be given to those in pain or discomfort. Therefore, if you have already made an appointment, you might receive a call to change your appointment time or reschedule your appointment. Where possible, we would request you to complete your New Patient Form at home. If you are early for your appointment, please wait in your car instead of waiting in the reception area. In the reception area, you may notice that we are constantly wiping down surfaces, counters, door handles, EFTPOS/HICAPS machines, etc. Please use your wipes or hand sanitisers before you come in. Please do not hesitate to use our facility to wash your hands. Our reception area will appear a bit bare as we have removed magazines and toys for safety reasons. As you would know, we won't shake your hand, but we'll make you feel welcome. Prior to your treatment, we will be asking you to use an antimicrobial mouth rinse. We ask that if you are feeling unwell, have been overseas in the last 14 days or have been in contact with someone who has a suspected or confirmed case of Covid-19 to please not come into our practice.

12.01.2022 Your childs first visit to the dentist is so important. Your little one might fuss during their dental visit. This is the same as when they might fuss at a restaurant, or the hairdresser, or anywhere else youd rather they were quiet. Dont worry, this is completely normal and our experienced and very gentle dental team takes extensive care when seeing your child so they feel as comfortable as possible during their visit. Here are a few ideas for parents when they take thei...r child to the dentist for the first time: Use positive and child-friendly terms, like; seeing the tooth fairys friend or going for a ride in the dental chair Whatever you do, dont use the dentist as a deterrent! Threats like if you dont brush your teeth the dentist will pull them out will only reinforce the fears Avoid using words like needle, pull, or drill as this will only cause your child to become fearful and scared In the lead up to the first dental visit you could play dentist at home and count your childs teeth and explain that the dentist takes care of our teeth See more

09.01.2022 International Nurses Day Thank you for the difference you make every single day...

08.01.2022 BABY'S TEETH Your child’s baby teeth will start to appear, often with the central bottom teeth first, anywhere between 4 months and 10 months. Like every developmental milestone, the point at which your baby gets their teeth is an individual thing and you shouldn’t worry if their teeth appear a bit earlier or later than other kids their age.... Dental health is an ongoing process throughout a child’s life and you should begin by modeling good dental health practices early on so your child sees them as a normal part of life. Even if your child only has a few teeth, bacteria can get in and start causing decay, so you should start brushing your child’s teeth as soon as the first tooth erupts. One great way to get your child used to teeth cleaning is to wipe their gums with a soft cloth twice a day. As soon as the teeth appear, you can switch to using a soft children’s brush, with no toothpaste until 18 months of age. #teethingbaby #teething #motherhood #parenthood #teethingproblems #newmum #babiesteeth

05.01.2022 Three reasons you should attend the dentist, even if you don’t feel tooth or gum pain: 1. Plaque, tartar and cavities plaque and tartar build-up is inevitable, regardless of how well you brush your teeth and small cavities that you are unaware of can become big issues if left untreated. 2. Have a smile you’re proud of! Get rid of stains and yellow teeth by getting your teeth cleaned. ... 3. Cost! If you go to the dentist once a year for a check-up and clean you’re far less likely to need expensive, time consuming and possibly painful dental care. #dentaltreatment #dentistinmackay #mackaydentistry #brushyourteeth #dentalcavities #dentalcheckup #walkerstondentist #walkerstondental
