Learning from Dr Tony Medland
Dr Tony Medland founded Medland Dental in 1959, working with his mother initially until his sister joined the practice shortly after. He changed the face of dentistry with his focus on taking exceptional care of each of his patients during a time where the dentist was feared more often than not. Dr Medland instilled these values in his team, and while it has been over ten years since he retired from Dentistry, these values remain as relevant today as they always were. The clinicians and staff at Medland Dental have remained focused on providing the very best service, and technical care…

What do your teeth and the bottom of a boat have in common?
Have you ever seen the bottom of a neglected boat? Even though it started out perfectly smooth, after a short time it gets slimy, and then barnacles form. This process is exactly like what happens to teeth when not cleaned professionally.
Just like a boat, the problem this causes to your oral health is not always visible on the surface. Over time, barnacles on a boat can silently erode its hidden surfaces. Similarly, our teeth may appear healthy, but …
Are antibiotics the answer? Why you should always consult a healthcare professional before taking antibiotics.
What do you do if you have a splinter in your arm that is causing redness, swelling and pain? Would you see your Doctor expecting they would write you a script, or would you prefer they removed the source of infection? There are times when taking antibiotics is not the final solution, and the following article discusses how this is relevant to dentistry, and why our Dentists at Medland Dental take the time to address the sources of infection, instead of doing a ‘quick fix’ and offering a script.
Antibiotics are a drug used to treat bacterial infections. They can work in different ways and…
Meet the ‘New Bev’
Many of you will remember our beloved Bev, who took fantastic care of our patients throughout their appointments until her retirement at the end of 2013. Bev had such a unique and special relationship with our patients, that for a long time after she retired we were not sure if we would ever find a ‘New Bev’.
During her role as Front Office Coordinator over the last five years, however, Sue’s gentle and nurturing nature has been so apparent that we felt she was perfectly suited to care for our patients in the same way Bev did. Our ‘New B…

You’re Never Too Busy To Brush!
“I’m just too busy”, one of the most common reasons given by people surveyed for not regularly brushing and flossing their teeth. It is a fact that many Australians are working longer hours and balancing more extra-curricular activities than ever before, making time for brushing and good dental care even harder.
But, do you have 2-3 minutes (less time than a commercial break!) twice a day? That’s all that’s required to look after your teeth and save yourself the pain, cost, and inconvenience that comes with dent…
