Tooth decay is a diet-related disease. It is almost entirely preventable.

Mouth bacteria use the sugar from our foods and drinks to make acids that attack the teeth. Tooth decay develops when factors that damage the teeth are greater than factors that protect the teeth.

Tooth decay can be stopped if it is found when it is just starting to develop. You may need a filling to replace the part of the tooth damaged by tooth decay.

Who needs a mouthguard?

All children and adults are recommended to wear a mouthguard when playing contact sports. Some sports may not be called a contact sport but there is a high risk of injury to the teeth and mouth. It is important to wear a mouthguard for these sports too.

Wisdom teeth usually grow through your gums in your late teens or early twenties. They are the last teeth at the back of your mouth, at the end of your upper and lower gums.

You can have up to 4 wisdom teeth, and they might only partially come through your gums or may never appear at all. Some people will not develop any wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth may pose problems if they grow at an angle and/or affect neighbouring teeth. It's important to consult your dentist before these issues get more serious.

The Australian Dental Association recommends brushing 2 times every day, for 2 minutes each time.

Use a small amount of toothpaste only. Older children and adults should use a pea-size amount of paste and children under 6 years should use a smear of paste.
Pressing too hard can damage your teeth and wear away your toothbrush bristles.
Replace your toothbrush every 3 months.
No matter how well you brush, your toothbrush bristles cannot reach the spaces between your teeth.

What is dental flossing?

Dental flossing is when you clean between your teeth. It's a way to remove food particles and plaque bacteria from the spaces a toothbrush can't reach.

Food and plaque bacteria left between your gums and teeth can cause inflammation and gum damage.

You can use:

• string dental floss (waxed or unwaxed)
• dental tape
• flossettes
• interdental brushes
• a water flosser

It's best not to use a toothpick because this is more likely to damage your teeth.

There are many reasons that one or more teeth can be sensitive. You should see a dentist if you have a tooth that is sensitive to cold, hot or sweet foods or drinks. This may be a sign of tooth decay or tooth erosion. It is important to make sure there is no tooth decay or other conditions that are making the teeth sensitive.

Bruxism is the grinding or clenching of teeth that is not part of normal chewing movements. It can cause teeth to wear and may damage the teeth and jaw joints. Treating it early is important to avoid significant dental complications.

Bruxism can occur during the daytime or at night whilst sleeping. People who grind their teeth during sleep have no conscious control over the action.

You may not be aware that you grind your teeth whilst sleeping, unless your partner tells you or you have symptoms. If you know you grind your teeth, or if you think teeth grinding causing your symptoms, see your dentist.

There are 2 main types of electric toothbrushes in Australia:

Oscillating-rotating and sonic electric toothbrushes

Oscillating-rotating electric toothbrushes have a small and round brush head. It looks similar to the toothbrush in the picture above. The brush head spins and vibrates to remove the plaque and bacteria from the surfaces of the teeth.

The sonic electric toothbrush looks similar to a manual toothbrush. It vibrates from side to side to remove the plaque and bacteria.
