I know Dental Week occurred whilst I was away but it is such an important aspect of our overall health I wanted to share the following information with you.                                                        

The health of the mouth influences the rest of the body with a range of medical conditions affected by, or affecting, oral health.

Almost half of the Australian population has one or more chronic diseases … and yet …

70% of people are not aware of the link between their oral health and chronic medical conditions. 

Four key steps for good oral health 

1.Brush teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste.

2.Clean between your teeth every day using floss or interdental brushes.

3.Eat a health balanced diet and limit added sugar intake.

4. Visit the dentist regularly for checkups and preventative care.

This year over 100 students attended the dental van for screening, and preventative treatment with Lisa and her dental nurses.
