🦷 Dental Health Week 2026 – Day 5: Sports Drinks 🦷

This year’s Dental Health Week campaign focuses on 18–25 year olds with the theme “My Smile”. Today’s topic is about sports drinks, based on information from the Australian Dental Association (ADA).

Sports drinks are used to rehydrate during or after exercise being made of water and electrolytes such as potassium and sodium and added sugar and food acids. Frequent consumption of sports drinks may increase the risk of tooth decay and tooth erosion due to their sugar and acid content.
What is tooth decay?

🥤 Sugar from foods and drinks can mix with the plaque already on our teeth, creating acids
🥤 These acids then hit our teeth and over time cause tooth decay
🥤 Early tooth decay may appear as white spots, brown marks, holes in the teeth

What is tooth erosion?
🧃 Tooth erosion is the loss of tooth structure caused by acids coming into contact with the teeth
🧃 Frequent exposure to acidic drinks over time may increase the risk of tooth erosion
🧃 This leads to a softened and weakened tooth surface which can wear away by rubbing forces, such as chewing and tooth-to-tooth contact

To minimize risks of tooth decay and erosion from sports drinks you can:
🦷 Swap for water to stay hydrated
🦷 Do not swish or hold sports drink in your mouth before swallowing it
🦷 Have a sip of water after drinking your sports drinks
🦷 Wait 30 mins after you eat or drink anything to brush your teeth

If you have any concerns about your teeth, speak with your dentist for advice and keep up with your regular dental check-ups and professional cleans as recommended by your dentist.

🦷 Dental Health Week 2026 – Day 4: Sports Mouthguards 🦷

This year’s Dental Health Week campaign focuses on 18–25 year olds with the theme “My Smile”. Today’s topic is about sports mouthguards, based on information from the Australian Dental Association (ADA).

Sports mouthguards can help reduce the risk and severity of trauma to your teeth and gums. Sports and leisure activities such as cycling, skateboarding and scooter accidents account for 44% of dental injuries. While other sports including football, boxing, basketball, netball, cricket, hockey and soccer account for 14% of dental injuries 📈

Sports can cause severe and sometimes irreversible damage to teeth, including:
💥 Chipped, cracked or fractured teeth
💥 Teeth become loose
💥 Teeth are pushed into gums, backwards or sideways
💥 Teeth are knocked out of the jaw

If any dental injuries occur during sports games or training, seek a dental assessment as soon as possible to review the trauma.

Using mouthguards:
🛹 Mouthguards need to be worn during both official game and training
🙅‍♀️ Many Australian sporting clubs promote a "No mouthguard, no play" policy
🦷 A custom-made mouthguard provided by your dentist is generally considered to offer a better fit and greater protection than over-the-counter alternatives.
🥊 Mouthguards are designed to absorb and distribute impact forces, helping to reduce dental trauma.

As many sporting injuries occur after hours or on weekends, the ADA Find a Dentist service may assist in locating available dental care or head to your local hospital.

🦷 Dental Health Week 2026 – Day 3: Cosmetic Dentistry 🦷

This year’s Dental Health Week campaign focuses on 18–25 year olds with the theme “My Smile”. Today we’re sharing information about cosmetic dentistry, based on resources from the Australian Dental Association (ADA).

Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures that may improve the appearance of teeth and smiles, including changes to tooth shape, colour or position, or replacing missing teeth.

Procedures that may have cosmetic benefits include:
🦷 Whitening teeth
🦷 Orthodontics with braces or aligners
🦷 Veneers
🦷 Crowns
🦷 Implants
🦷 Dentures

Online information can be a helpful starting point, but your dentist can provide advice tailored to your individual needs, including suitable options, benefits, risks and considerations.

Questions to discuss with your dentist include:
❓ What options are available and what are the pros and cons of each option?
❓ What results can be reasonably expected?
❓ What costs, time and ongoing care are involved?
❓ Are there any possible side effects or complications?

For complex procedures, you may wish to seek a second opinion or specialist advice, and take time to consider your options.

🦷 Dental Health Week 2026 – Day 2: Wisdom Teeth 🦷

This year’s Dental Health Week campaign focuses on 18–25 year olds with the theme “My Smile”. Today we’re sharing information about wisdom teeth, based on resources from the Australian Dental Association (ADA). Wisdom teeth are usually the last teeth to develop and appear at the back of the mouth, commonly between the ages of 18–25.

Sometimes wisdom teeth do not have enough space to come through properly and can become impacted (trapped or positioned at an angle). This may contribute to issues such as:
⚠️ Infection
⚠️ Pain or discomfort
⚠️ Gum inflammation
⚠️ Tooth decay
⚠️ Ulcers
⚠️ Cysts (in some cases)

Imaging such as an OPG radiograph 📷 (and in some cases a CBCT) can help assess the position of wisdom teeth, their roots, and their relationship to nearby structures such as the sinuses.
Removal of wisdom teeth may be recommended if they are associated with problems such as:
🦷 Impaction causing symptoms or risk of complications
🦷 Tooth decay that cannot be managed conservatively
🦷 Recurrent infection around the tooth
🦷 Increased risk of damage to neighbouring teeth
🦷 Cyst development

Every patient is different, and the best management option depends on your individual circumstances. Wisdom teeth removal may be performed by a general dentist, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or in a hospital setting depending on the complexity of the case.

If you have concerns about your wisdom teeth, we recommend booking an assessment with your dentist.

As the Fifa World Cup 2026 ⚽️ comes to an end, we thought we might do some red card DIY social media dental hacks that make our dentists cringe and yell NO, DON’T DO THAT!

Moe, Dina and Nik are throwing up their red cards after seeing videos of people:
🟥 Using superglue to put their crowns/veneers back on or even supergluing gems onto their teeth.
❌️Buying DIY filling kits to use at home.
🚩 Using a nail file to file down a recently chipped tooth.
⛔️ A big NO to buying orthodontic tools online to remove their own braces.
🚨 Putting tiny hair elastics around teeth to try and close gaps.
🚫 Unsafe homemade teeth whitening mixtures.

Mixtures that should never be used to whiten teeth at home include:
🛑 Lemon juice and baking soda
🛑 High concentration hydrogen peroxide
🛑 Apple cider vinegar and salt
🛑 Activated charcoal pastes
🛑 Household bleach dilutions - Household bleach should never be used on teeth. It can cause severe chemical burns and significant damage to oral tissues and may be harmful if swallowed.

These DIY dental hacks from social media trends can cause significant damage to teeth and gums and may increase the risk of infection, tooth decay, pain, chemical burns, or the need for more extensive dental treatment. If you have dental concerns about your oral health, seek advice from a registered dental practitioner. If appropriate, you may also wish to obtain a second professional opinion.

✨Thinking about teeth whitening? 🦷

Everyone’s smile is a little different, and tooth discolouration can happen for lots of reasons like diet, lifestyle, and natural ageing.

Because of that, results vary from person to person and depend on things like your natural tooth structure and the type of staining.

If you’re interested, book a consultation and we can check whether a dentist prescribed take home whitening kit might be suitable for you.

Bleeding gums aren't something to brush off. 🦷

Healthy gums generally shouldn't bleed when you brush or floss. Gum disease can develop gradually and often without pain, many people don't realise there's a problem until it progresses.

Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene habits can help support healthy gums. If you've noticed bleeding, swelling, or persistent bad breath, speak with your dentist to discuss your concerns.
