About 1 in 3 adults get dry mouth at some point, and it’s worth paying attention to.

Saliva does a lot of the work of protecting your teeth, so when there’s less of it, decay can get going faster than usual.

Sipping water, chewing sugar-free gum, and cutting back on sugary drinks all help. If your mouth feels dry most of the time, mention it at your next appointment. 🦷

Call our Blackwood team on (08) 8278 6858 to book your check-up.

Waking up with a sore jaw or headache? It might not be stress, it might be your teeth. 😬

Teeth grinding (also called bruxism) often happens overnight, without you even knowing it's happening. Common signs include:

🦷 A dull headache or sore jaw first thing in the morning
🦷 Teeth that feel sensitive or achy
🦷 Chipped teeth or cracked fillings you can't explain

It's often linked to stress, but things like caffeine, smoking, and snoring can play a part too.

The good news? A dentist can spot the signs early and, if needed, fit you with a custom night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep.

If any of this sounds familiar, it might be worth mentioning at your next visit to Shepherds Hill Dental.

Brushing your teeth straight after your morning OJ?
You might want to hold off. 🍊🪥

Here's something that surprises a lot of people: brushing your teeth immediately after eating or drinking something acidic (think citrus, soft drink, sports drinks, even w**e) can actually damage your enamel further, not protect it.

Acid softens the outer layer of your teeth. Brushing while that layer is still soft can wear it away faster.

The better move? Rinse with water or milk, and wait about 60 minutes before you reach for the toothbrush. It gives your enamel time to re-harden first.

Little habits like this add up over time and they're part of what we talk through with our patients here at Shepherds Hill Dental. If it's been a while since your last check up, now's a good time to book one in.

We have some bittersweet news to share with our Shepherds Hill Dental community. Our wonderful Dr Jasper Lee will be leaving the practice on 1 July to relocate to Canberra with his family.

Jasper has been an incredible asset to our team, and we are going to miss him dearly. We are immensely grateful for the exceptional, gentle care he has provided to our patients, as well as his fantastic efforts in championing our clinic's environmental initiatives.

While we are sad to see him go, we are so excited for Jasper and his family as they embark on this new chapter in the nation's capital!

We will miss you, Jasper! 💜

We have some wonderful updates to share about our team! Our lovely hygienists, Ash and Jess, are both heading off on maternity leave to prepare for their new arrivals.

We’ve officially said a temporary goodbye to Ash, who finished up with us in early May. Jess will be right behind her, with her last day coming up around mid-June. We are so incredibly excited for them both and wish them all the very best on these next chapters! 💜

While they are away keeping some very important tiny appointments, we are thrilled to welcome Chelsea to the clinic! Our fantastic regular hygienist team is also picking up extra days, so you can rest assured your dental health routines won't miss a beat.

Big news at Shepherds Hill Dental Centre! 🌞🔋

We’re proud to share that we’ve recently installed a brand-new solar and battery system at our clinic. This upgrade will provide backup protection, significantly reduce our power costs while also cutting down our carbon emissions — a win for both our practice and the environment.

By harnessing clean, renewable energy, we’re taking an important step toward a more sustainable future while continuing to provide the highest level of care to our community.

A big thank you to the South Australian Government’s Office for Small & Family Business for co-funding this project through the Powering Business Grants Program. Your support has made this transition possible, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Did you know your dentist checks for more than just cavities?

Oral cancer is a serious disease that often shows no symptoms in its early stages, which is why regular dental check-ups are so important. During your appointment, your dentist checks your mouth, tongue and surrounding tissues for any unusual changes.

Early detection can make a huge difference.

If it’s been a while since your last check-up, now is a great time to book one.

Brushing your teeth the right way doesn’t need to be complicated 🪥

Start by wetting your brush and adding toothpaste. Hold the brush at a slight angle toward the gums and use gentle, small circular motions.

Work your way around your mouth, starting at the top, cleaning the front, back, and chewing surfaces of each tooth. Make sure you brush down to your gums to remove the bacteria sitting in these areas.

When you’re finished, spit out the toothpaste but avoid rinsing so the fluoride can keep protecting your teeth.

Small habits like this can make a big difference to your oral health 😁
