Electric toothbrushes clean teeth and gums much better than a manual toothbrush.

Scientists found that people who use an electric toothbrush have healthier gums, less tooth decay and also keep their teeth for longer, compared with those who use a manual toothbrush. Which do you use?

Bananas can help ease tooth sensitivity.

Foods high in oxalic acids — like spinach, bananas and rhubarb help to plug up the tiny tubes where sensitivity and pain originates!

Do your gums bleed after brushing?

If plaque bacteria is not removed, it can irritate the gums, leading to redness, bleeding and inflammation. However, there are also a number of other reasons for bleeding gums. These include over-brushing teeth or brushing too hard, a new toothbrush or flossing routine, and some medications.

If your gums bleed, please speak with us during your next dental appointment, so we can examine and give you the best advice for your dental situation.

Just because you don’t have dental pain doesn’t mean your teeth are healthy.

Regular dental checkups and cleans help prevent dental problems such as cavities, and help to catch them early before they become bigger problems for your oral health.

If you are experiencing any dental pain or haven’t had a check up and clean the last six months, we recommend you make an appointment to see us.

Baby teeth, also known as primary teeth or deciduous teeth, play a crucial role in a child's dental development. Here are some reasons why baby teeth are important:

1. Space Maintenance: Baby teeth hold space in the jaw for permanent teeth that will eventually replace them. If a baby tooth is lost prematurely due to decay or other reasons, the surrounding teeth may shift and block the space required for the eruption of permanent teeth. This can lead to alignment issues and the need for orthodontic treatment later on.

2. Chewing and Digestion: Baby teeth are essential for proper chewing of food, which is the first step in the digestion process.

3. Speech Development: Baby teeth play a crucial role in speech development. They help children learn to pronounce different sounds and form words correctly.

4. Esthetics and Confidence: Baby teeth contribute to a child's facial appearance and smile. Healthy baby teeth can boost a child's self-esteem and confidence, allowing them to interact socially without feeling self-conscious about their smile.

5. Jaw and Bone Development:Baby teeth stimulate the growth and development of the jaws and surrounding bone structures. The pressure exerted by chewing on baby teeth helps promote proper bone growth and development.

6. Oral Health: Maintaining good oral hygiene habits from an early age is crucial for overall oral health. Baby teeth act as placeholders for permanent teeth and are susceptible to dental decay and cavities.

It is important to note that even though baby teeth are temporary, they play a vital role in a child's overall development and should be cared for properly. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining the health of baby teeth and ensuring the smooth transition to permanent teeth.

If you have any concerns or specific questions about your child's dental health, speak with us for more personalised advice and guidance.

At Verve Dental, we offer Medicare CDBS covered treatments to eligible patients.

Fun fact! Your tongue serves so many functions. It’s the source of your sense of taste. It plays a vital role in your ability to chew, swallow, and speak. Your tongue also can have a significant impact—for good or bad—even when it is doing nothing but resting in the mouth. Specifically, the resting posture of your tongue can play a significant role in your appearance.

It’s Dental Health Week!

Dental Health Week (DHW) is the Australian Dental Association’s (ADA) major annual oral health campaign. It takes place each year in the first full week of August. The campaign focuses on the importance of taking steps to care for your teeth and gums to help you keep your teeth and smile for life.

This year, DHW is focusing on the mouth and whole-body connection. There are links between diseases in the mouth and diseases in the body. Bacteria in the mouth can travel to different sites of the body and inflammation in the mouth can increase the body’s overall inflammation. Six conditions have been explored in how they link with the mouth:

- Heart Disease
- Diabetes
- Alzheimer's Disease
- Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes
- Lung Conditions
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease

To learn more about the link between these conditions and the mouth visit teeth.org.au

Happy Birthday Dr. Raj!!! 🎂🥳
