- [Bleeding Gums](https://medlanddental.com.au/bleeding-gums/): Bleeding gums are one of the most common dental symptoms people experience - and one of the most commonly overlooked. You might notice a little pink in the sink when brushing or flossing and assume it’s nothing to worry about. However, bleeding gums are often an early warning sign that something isn’t quite right with your oral health. At Medland, we believe understanding your symptoms is the first step toward prevention and long-term dental health.
- [Chipped Tooth](https://medlanddental.com.au/chipped-tooth/): Chipping a tooth can happen unexpectedly — whether from biting into something hard, an accidental knock, or gradual wear over time. Sometimes a chipped tooth is obvious, but in other cases the damage may be small and only noticeable when you feel a rough edge with your tongue or experience sensitivity. Sometimes a chip is more than “just a chip” though and it may be a significant fracture, and sign that something deeper like a crack is affecting the strength of your teeth. This type of damage may lead to eventual loss of the tooth if not managed effectively. Understanding why teeth chip and when to seek dental care can help protect your smile and prevent further damage.
- [Jaw Pain](https://medlanddental.com.au/jaw-pain/): Jaw pain is a common symptom that many people experience — but it’s not always clear what’s causing it. For some, it’s a dull ache after a long day of chewing; for others, it’s a sharper pain that comes with clicking, locking or discomfort when opening the mouth. At Medland, we see jaw pain linked to a range of issues, and the good news is that most causes can be diagnosed and effectively managed with the right approach.
- [What Sixty Years in Dentistry has taught us about Dental Fear Part Two](https://medlanddental.com.au/what-sixty-years-in-dentistry-has-taught-us-about-dental-fear-part-two/): These rates are concerning given the direct correlation between oral health and overall health.
- [Play it Safe this #Mouthguard March](https://medlanddental.com.au/play-it-safe-this-mouthguard-march/): Every March, Medland Dental, in conjunction with the Australian Dental Association, aims to spread the word - Play it Safe this #Mouthguard March
- [To seal or not to seal? What are fissure sealants?](https://medlanddental.com.au/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 way to help prevent decay from developing in these teeth is to place a ‘fissure sealant’.
- [When should my child see an oral health therapist, dentist or paediatric dentist?](https://medlanddental.com.au/when-should-my-child-see-an-oral-health-therapist-dentist-or-paediatric-dentist/): It's school holiday time again!
- [What Sixty Years in Dentistry has taught has about dental fear – Part One](https://medlanddental.com.au/what-sixty-years-in-dentistry-has-taught-has-about-dental-fear-part-one/): While Dentistry has moved forward in leaps and bounds, it seems that some people are still avoiding regular dental care. In fact, the Australian Dental Association (ADA) reported that only 60.7% of Australian adults attended a Dentist in the twelve months prior, and only 55.5% completed a dental examination and professional cleaning*, or "active maintenance" as we know it at Medland Dental. The importance of regular active maintenance is far more apparent now than it has ever been. Not only have advancements in knowledge and technology allowed oral health practitioners to practise pain-free dentistry, but we now know there is a direct correlation between oral health and overall health.
- [Focus on: Fractured teeth](https://medlanddental.com.au/focus-on-fractured-teeth-2/): New toys, trampolines or just kids being kids can lead to a broken or chipped tooth over the holiday period. If you or your child chips or knocks out a tooth, click here for emergency information and details of what to do to minimise the trauma.

- [Active Maintenance Is The New Check-up](https://medlanddental.com.au/active-maintenance-is-the-new-check-up/): Most of us don’t think twice about taking our cars for regular servicing and maintenance. We understand that the time and effort of booking a service is outweighed by the inconvenience and cost of having a breakdown.
- [Focus on: School Lunches](https://medlanddental.com.au/focus-on-school-lunches/): Coming up with healthy, tasty and kid-friendly lunches can be a challenge, as every parent knows. Keeping these lunches tooth-friendly as well can make it even more of a challenge!
- [The Significance of Adequate Chewing](https://medlanddental.com.au/the-significance-of-adequate-chewing/): While brushing, flossing, and regular active maintenance appointments at Medland Dental are vital for maintaining oral health, we shouldn't overlook the importance of adequate chewing. Thoroughly chewing your food not only aids in digestion but also plays a crucial role in preserving optimal dental health. This article will delve into the importance of chewing your food correctly, uncovering its remarkable benefits to your dental health and overall well-being. So, let's dive in and discover the hidden power of chewing!

- [Increasing hydration: or the risk of tooth decay?](https://medlanddental.com.au/increasing-hydration-or-the-risk-off-tooth-decay/): Our Oral Health Therapist Eliza recently received a newsletter from her son's daycare which featured an article that captured her interest. 
- [Finger or thumb sucking: Is it a habit worth breaking?](https://medlanddental.com.au/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, calm and soothe themselves, and shut out undesired stimuli. This soothing and calming effect also helps them fall asleep.  
- [To seal or not to seal? What are fissure sealants?](https://medlanddental.com.au/6665-2/): 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 way to help prevent decay from developing in these teeth is to place a ‘fissure sealant’.

You might think it doesn't really matter if you miss a bit of flossing, skimp on the thoroughness of your brushing, or tell your dental professional "thanks, but no thanks, I'll see you in 2024".  But of course, like anything that's necessary and good for you, it does matter and it's definitely worth adding to your list of daily To Do's.

- [Is your mouth making you unwell?](https://medlanddental.com.au/is-your-mouth-making-you-unwell/): For too long our oral health has been considered to be a separate entity to our overall health. The typical belief is that having good oral health means having a nice smile, and that tooth decay or gum disease are an inevitable part of life. The reality is, in fact, that oral health and general health are inexplicably linked, the appearance of your teeth is only one aspect of good oral health, and there is nothing inevitable about oral diseases.  For too long we have ignored the importance of good oral health and its significance in safeguarding general health and well-being. 
- [Dental Health Week 2021: Keep your smile for life!](https://medlanddental.com.au/dental-health-week-2021-keep-your-smile-for-life/): At Medland Dental, we’re passionate about partnering with our patients to support their oral health.

- [12 Makings of Medland Dental](https://medlanddental.com.au/12-facts-of-medland-dental/): We have had a fantastic year celebrating our sixtieth birthday, and have loved looking back at our history.

- [Lifestyle Risks – Smoking](https://medlanddental.com.au/lifestyle-risks-smoking/): Nicotine affects your saliva and reduces the way that it can protect the teeth. Saliva can become thick and slow moving, reducing its ability to neutralise dietary acids and flush away food debris. This change to saliva is why some heavy smokers can get decay even though they may be brushing and flossing effectively.
- [Medland Masterchef: Winter Wellness Frittata](https://medlanddental.com.au/winter-wellness-frittata/): Dr Sarah Kam and our Oral Hygienist Shannon both love to cook and often swap delicious new recipes. With a focus on clean eating, this Silverbeet, Potato and Truss Tomato Frittata from Jessica Cox Nutrition has become a favourite in both their homes. This frittata is loaded with eggs, potatoes and greens, making it an excellent balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates.
Did you know that when potatoes are cooked and then eaten cold, they contain high amounts of resistant starch, a type of fibre which has been shown to have positive effects on human health (Birt, DF et al., 2013). We didn't either!
Serves: 4 serves, or 6 with a side salad
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 60 - 65 minutes
Ingredients
450g kipfler potatoes, skin on
1 large bunch of silverbeet
1 clove garlic, crushed
8 free range eggs
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast (or parmesan)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
6 spring onions (green shallots), finely sliced
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
150g baby truss tomatoes
extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Method
Preheat your oven to 180c fan-forced.
Bring a medium sized pot of water to the boil and add in kipfler potatoes. Boil till just tender, drain then set aside. When the potatoes are cooled enough sliced them into 1/2 cm rounds.
In the interim, prepare the silverbeet by removing the hard stalks and roughly chopping up. Add the silverbeet to a medium heat frying pan with some extra virgin olive oil and sauté till nicely wilted. In the last few minutes add in the crushed garlic and stir through. Set aside.
Add to a medium-sized bowl the eggs, milk, nutritional yeast, dill, salt, pepper and mayonnaise and whisk well.
Take a deep-dish baking pan and start by placing a layer of the sliced potatoes using around one-third of them. Top with some of the spring onions and then 1/2 of the wilted greens. Repeat the potato layer again followed by the spring onions and the greens. Finish with the remaining potatoes and any leftover spring onions.
Pour over the egg mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the frittata. Now top with the truss tomatoes still attached to the vine. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with some more pepper then place in the oven for 60 - 65 minutes till cooked through in the centre. The frittata is cooked when you press on the centre and no egg oozes out.
Serve the frittata warm or cold as is or with a fresh green salad.

- [Causes, Risks and Management of Dry Mouth](https://medlanddental.com.au/medland-dental-blog-post-2/): A Decrease in Saliva Flow Can Impact Your Oral Health.
Xerostomia, commonly known as dry mouth, can happen at any age and can be caused by simple
things like not drinking enough liquids or from side effects of a medication or illness. Whatever the
cause of your dry mouth, if left unchecked it can put you at an increased risk of tooth decay and gum
disease. The increased risk of dental issues is due to a lack of saliva, or the right quality saliva, in your
mouth to fight bacteria. Everyone will experience a dry mouth at some point, upon waking after fasting all night, or after
drinking beverages like coffee or alcohol. Occurrences like these are normal and generally resolved
after consuming water. Should you experience a dry mouth at other times, or for prolonged periods,
you may need to seek advice from a good dentist. Medland Dental have been caring for patients in
Brisbane, and around Australia, for almost sixty years and are very experienced in helping to treat
this condition.
Causes of Dry Mouth include: Dehydration Side effects from a medication or polypharmacy (multiple medications) Smoking cigarettes Infections Side effects from particular diseases Nerve damage after injury or surgery  
The Effects of Dry Mouth
Prolonged dry mouth can have a devastating impact on your teeth and gums. Imagine saliva as a
constant bath for your mouth, washing away debris and bacteria. Our teeth are in a continuous
demineralisation-remineralisation cycle. Minerals become depleted from our teeth by everyday
eating and drinking, and it is our healthy saliva that helps to replenish these lost minerals which
prevent tooth decay. It also provides lubrication for your delicate gum tissue and assists in the action
of swallowing. Without enough saliva, you may experience mouth ulcers, a reduced sense of taste
and have difficulty swallowing.  
How to Alleviate Dry Mouth
If you suffer from dry mouth, it is important not push through it, and not to think that it will go away without
assistance. Reach out to your dentist or medical professional to get advice. You can also try: Increasing your water intake. One of the biggest causes of dry mouth in older adults is the lack of
water consumption. Chew sugar-free gum or sugar-free mints. The action of sucking and chewing will promote saliva
production. Brush and floss twice a day. Good oral hygiene prevents plaque build-up and fights tooth decay. Avoid tobacco and dehydrating drinks such as caffeine and alcohol. Ask your doctor or dentist for advice. They may be able to suggest additional or alternate
medications or a product that helps fight dry mouth. If you struggle with excessive dry mouth, talk to your Medland Dental dentist in Brisbane about your
symptoms. It is best to get on top of the problem before it has a toll on your teeth, as the adage
goes; prevention is better than cure! If you would like any further information on treating a dry mouth or any other dental concerns,
please don’t hesitate to call the exceptional team at Medland Dental on 07 3426 5777.

While these are all fantastic endeavours, the focus most often rests on the health benefits or physical changes, perhaps without consideration of this may impact your teeth.

- [Occlusal splints](https://medlanddental.com.au/occlusal-splints/): Occlusal splints can be a very effective treatment for Bruxism and/or pain associated with TMD (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction).  What might be interesting to know, is the fact that often people are oblivious to the fact they grind their teeth (they have no symptoms).  That's why a dental examination is so crucial to determine if any signs of Bruxism are present and if any serious damage has already occurred.  Without early diagnosis and treatment, patients can sometimes end up needing to have teeth extracted that would have otherwise been able to be saved.  If you're a patient who has symptoms of TMD or signs of Bruxism, you might be a good candidate for an Occlusal splint. 
- [Clear Aligners](https://medlanddental.com.au/clear-aligners/): Invisalign® clear aligners are a contemporary orthodontic treatment option designed to gradually move teeth into improved alignment. Using a series of custom-made, removable aligners, treatment is tailored to your individual dental needs and goals.
- [Toothaches and Dental Emergencies](https://medlanddental.com.au/toothaches-and-dental-emergencies/): Below are some of the frequently asked questions we receive regarding toothaches and dental emergencies at Medland Dental.
- [Dentures](https://medlanddental.com.au/dentures/): If missing some, or all of your teeth,  dentures may be either a temporary or permanent tooth replacement option. Dentures are artificial substitutes for missing natural teeth and adjacent soft tissues. Medland creates acrylic resin (plastic) or lightweight metal (cobalt chrome) dentures. 
- [Professional Scale and Clean](https://medlanddental.com.au/professional-scale-and-clean/): Why choose Medland for your professional scale and clean??
- [Periodontal Disease](https://medlanddental.com.au/periodontal-disease/): Periodontal disease.
- [Wisdom Teeth Removal](https://medlanddental.com.au/wisdom-teeth-removal/): Below are some of the frequently asked questions we receive regarding wisdom teeth removal.
- [Fissure Sealants](https://medlanddental.com.au/fissure-sealants/): What are Fissure Sealants?
- [Restorations](https://medlanddental.com.au/restorations/): At Medland, we will always recommend the most conservative and minimally invasive option for your tooth. Composite restorations (also called fillings) are often the first course of action when dealing with tooth decay, and are an excellent option and minimally invasive solution for small or moderate-sized areas of decay. 
- [Bridges](https://medlanddental.com.au/bridges/): A Medland bridge looks like your normal teeth and is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges are supported by crowns on the teeth on either side of the space, effectively linking them together. Bridges can effectively fill the gap left by missing teeth and restore both aesthetics and function.
- [New Patients](https://medlanddental.com.au/new-patients/): We strive to provide what many think is impossible – an enjoyable trip to the dentist!
- [Bruxism and TMJ Pain](https://medlanddental.com.au/bruxism-and-tmj-pain/): Below are some of the frequently asked questions we receive regarding bruxism and TMJ pain at Medland Dental.
- [Restoration of Damaged Teeth](https://medlanddental.com.au/restoration-of-damaged-teeth/): Teeth may become damaged due to many factors like decay, large or deep fillings, cracks, trauma, grinding or acid erosion, or a combination of these factors. Your Medland dentist will take the time to work out what has caused the damage to your tooth, and if anything can be done to prevent it in the future. 
- [Teeth Cleaning and Gum Health](https://medlanddental.com.au/teeth-cleaning-and-gum-health/): Successfully maintaining a healthy mouth involves an ongoing partnership between you and your dental professional.  Working together, a plan which meets your individual needs can keep you and your teeth healthy for life.
- [Replacement of Missing Teeth](https://medlanddental.com.au/replacement-of-missing-teeth/): Whether you have a single missing tooth, or multiple missing, there may be several options available to replace them.  Your Medland Dentist will take the time to understand how your tooth or teeth were lost, and help you to decide which option will be the right fit for you.
- [Covid Safety](https://medlanddental.com.au/covid-safety/): We also want to be able to continue to provide our patients with the treatment they need as planned and scheduled throughout this period in a safe and secure environment for other patients and our Medland team.
- [Care for Anxious Patients](https://medlanddental.com.au/care-for-anxious-patients/): Dental anxiety is a common issue that many people face. By openly communicating your fears, utilising relaxation techniques, and working with our supportive dental team, you can gradually overcome your dental anxiety and receive the dental care you want or need.  At Medland Dental our Dentists, Hygienists and Oral Health Therapists are highly experienced and will create a tailored strategy for you. This may involve: 
- [General Dentistry](https://medlanddental.com.au/general-dentistry/): At Medland, we have a multi-disciplinary team of experienced dentists, hygienists and oral health therapists that allow us to offer the full range of general dental services.  General dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common dental conditions and maintaining overall oral health. 
- [Health and Safety during COVID-19](https://medlanddental.com.au/health-and-safety-during-covid-19/): Medland Dental has implemented a comprehensive strategy of measures to protect our patients and our team, and ensure that we are taking exceptional care of everyone during the COVID-19 Pandemic and beyond.
- [Exceptional Team](https://medlanddental.com.au/exceptional-team/): Following many years working in Dental in Melbourne, Susanne joined the Medland team in 2014. Susanne is passionate about preventative dentistry, where patient’s comfort is a priority. Susanne likes the personal interaction that working in dentistry allows and finds teeth interesting. Although she finds the person attached to the teeth much more interesting.  
- [Dental Fees](https://medlanddental.com.au/dental-fees/): The Australian Dental Association does not set fees. Nor is there a “recommended” fee for any given treatment. This can be confusing to dental patients as there can be a significant variation in fees especially between practices that choose to be contracted to health insurance companies and therefore work off a fee schedule set by the insurance company, those that are owned by the big dental corporations, and the fees charged by independent dental practices.
- [Medland History](https://medlanddental.com.au/medland-history/): Built on over 60 years of exceptional dentistry and service.
- [Dental Emergency Treatments](https://medlanddental.com.au/emergency/): Delaying treatment may not only make it more complex, but may also increase your discomfort. If your dental emergency occurs within office hours, please contact us to ensure prompt management of your concern, we’ll do everything we can to see you as soon as possible.
- [Onsite Laboratory](https://medlanddental.com.au/onsite-laboratory/): Working with an on-site laboratory staffed by highly qualified and talented dental technicians and ceramists is yet another way that we provide technical excellence and exceptional care. It is all part of the Medland Difference.
- [Teeth Whitening](https://medlanddental.com.au/teeth-whitening/): Professional Teeth Whitening
