Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 18 and 25. As they come through, they can cause pain, swelling, infections or crowding, especially if there isn’t enough space in the mouth. https://teeth.org.au/dental-health-week

Cosmetic dentistry is becoming more common, especially if you're someone who wants a brighter or straighter smile. But with so many treatments promoted online, like whitening, veneers and at home aligners, it can be hard to know what’s safe and what might damage your teeth. Making choices without the right information can lead to long term problems for both your teeth and gums. https://teeth.org.au/dental-health-week

✔️ Floss between your teeth daily
✔️ Eat a healthy, balanced diet
✔️ Wear a custom mouthguard for contact sports
✔️ Visit your dentist for regular check-ups

Sports and energy drinks might seem like the go to option when you’re active, but they’re usually high in sugar and very acidic. This combination can wear away tooth enamel and increase your risk of decay. Dehydration can also dry out your mouth, which raises the risk of gum disease, decay and tooth wear. You're far better to stay hydrated with water which is the safest choice for your teeth. https://teeth.org.au/dental-health-week

Playing high impact or contact sports without a mouthguard can result in serious injuries involving broken or chipped teeth, nerve damage, jaw injuries or even losing a tooth altogether. These injuries often don't come with quick fixes, and they can lead to years, sometimes decades, of ongoing dental treatment. Fortunately, many injuries are entirely preventable with a custom-fit mouthguard created by your dentist. https://teeth.org.au/dental-health-week

During Dental Health Week (3–9 August 2026) this year, the Australian Dental Association (ADA) is focusing on the oral health of young Australians aged 18–25 through the ‘My Smile’ campaign.

This stage of life is full of change, with young Aussies moving out, studying or starting a job, learning to budget and taking care of their own health. Something has to give, and it's usually their oral health which means that many young adults put off going to the dentist until something is seriously wrong.

Gen Z also gets health information differently from older generations, often turning to the internet or influencers ahead of qualified professionals. That’s why this year’s campaign, along with giving young people reliable information and good early care habits, is stressing the importance of seeing a dentist before small issues turn into big problems. https://teeth.org.au/dental-health-week
