A small change but look at these happy colours ~
Keep on smiling!

😁well

Just a bit of fun on Halloween 🎃 we had a bowl of treats ready but we were amazed at how dentally health conscious most of our patients were… looks like we might end up “treating” ourselves!

Dental care is more than fixing tooth decay and gum disease.

We love helping children grow well-balanced faces and healthy smiles. Trust your mother’s instinct, come see us if you have any concerns about your child’s teeth.

Take advantage of our expanding knowledge and skills that help us better provide holistic dental care.

Today, we met with holistic health practitioners including medical doctors, Chiropractors, naturopaths, homeopaths, breathing experts, and nutritionists at the Raising Healthy Families Seminar so that we can enhance our patients’ journey to their myofunctional health.

Team Dental Wellness feeling extra Merrily this Christmas 🤶
Thanks to all hustled with us throughout the hurdles of pandemic and adjusting to our “new normal”.
Looking forward to more smiles and sunshine 🌞
Happy holidays 💚🍵🎄

We love Christmas!! Last week of festive decorations and Santa surprises!!

Last day of our 2022 NZDA Smile Dental Day… well we went one better and done a whole week of free dental service!

This week is proof that oral health is a team effort.

Thank you to our awesome Dental Wellness Team for organising this event.

Thanks to our dentists who volunteered their time and expertise. Without them, there could not have been a free dental week.

Thanks to Southern Cross Health for their sponsorship.

Special thanks to Dr Peter Ng for the daily floral displays to cheer us on. Today’s one was especially cheerful and in tune with October colours!

Finally, thank you to the wonderful patients who showed up and took an interest in their oral health. 👍 ❤️

What are your thoughts?

As a non-drinker I’ve often found it challenging to find “grown-up” drinks when out at events or in bars. The last couple of years has seen a huge increase in the options available.
AF is one of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks and I recently chatted to James Hurman on the AF Drinks podcast about my choice to do life without alcohol.

Wouldn’t you want to know what story is your teeth collecting? Having your teeth examined by the dentist not only help you understand your dental conditions but also can give you a perspective of your dental development.

Here is an educational article about dental anthropology written by Dr Marija Edinborough, University of Melbourne.

https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/stories-teeth-can-tell

Stories teeth can tell Research led by the University of Melbourne describes a new approach for a more detailed understanding of life history by analysing the structure of our teeth.

What an interesting idea to learn about human biology!

?treat?

Almost Halloween 🎃...are you looking after your teeth🦷 or are your teeth looking after you? Our Frankenstein has some toothpastes to make sure it is you looking after your teeth after all those treats!

What age should your child have a dental check up?

Answer: As early as 6 months or soon as you see teeth.

Why?

1. Builds your child’s confidence in the dental clinic and reduces dental anxiety

2. EARLY detection and correction of orthodontic problems from as young as 3 years old can ensure your child’s face grows to its most beautiful potential.

3. Builds a good active dental maintenance habit through life and reduces risk of dental disease eg. lowers chance of fillings in the future

Who doesn’t love looking at beautiful faces and smiles?

Take the first step to help your child’s face grow to its full potential.
