Focus on: School Lunches

Coming up with healthy, tasty and kid-friendly lunches can be a challenge, as every parent knows.

Finger or thumb sucking: Is it a habit worth breaking?

The infant-sucking instinct is essential for survival and can start in the womb. Sucking fixations in infancy provide stimulation that is essential and normal for a baby’s growth and development. Thumb and/or finger sucking can help infants adjust to their new world. The behaviour allows infants to gain a sense of control, cal

To seal or not to seal? What are fissure sealants?

Naturally deep grooves or ‘fissures’ occur primarily in the back teeth (molars and premolars) in both the primary and permanent dentition.  Despite our best toothbrushing efforts, these teeth can retain food and plaque (bacterial build-up) placing them at a much higher risk of developing tooth decay.  One

What can I do about bad breath?

Don’t toss the floss!

It only takes 2 minutes a day.  So why is daily flossing such a big hurdle to overcome?  Let's be honest, it's an annoying chore.  One we are required to perform at often inconvenient times of the day.  It's not especially easy to complete and seems to make little difference to how our mouth functions on a day to day basis.
