It is estimated that up to 10,000 Aussies head overseas each year seeking cheaper dental alternatives and dentists are now warning us against the increasing trend of travelling to Asia in an effort to save money on dental treatment with the caution that fixing shoddy workmanship will end up costing more in the long run. The Australian Dental Association fears people are falling victim to underqualified, unsafe practitioners. The association's Leonard Crocombe said “while some of the work might look good in the short term, patients were likely to have trouble in the future and it can be six months, 12 months after the treatment has been done, long after they've left the facilities and then things flare up on them.” (Baines R, 2015) If you have any concerns about work that you may have had done overseas, do not hesitate to contact us at any one of our three practices.

Orthodontics Orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance, health and function of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontics means “straight teeth” and is the branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment involves the use of corrective appliances including braces, plates, or Invisalign and these appliances move the teeth by exerting gentle forces on them. Full treatment can take 18-24 months. In most cases the best time to start treatment is when all the baby teeth are gone, but adults can be treated as well. At the completion of treatment retaining appliances (retainers) are fitted to hold and support the teeth in their new position. Please come ask one of our dentists about orthodontics for you or your children.

Natal teeth are teeth that are present in the mouth at birth, whereas neonatal teeth are teeth that erupt within the first 30 days of life. While the exact cause is not known, it is believed that the tooth simply develops in an abnormal position that is much closer to the surface of the gums. Natal teeth occur in approximately 1 in 716 births and 85% of all natal teeth are lower central incisors, 11% are upper incisors, 3% are lower canines and molars, while 1% of natal teeth are upper canines and molars. Many times, parents don’t need to do anything regarding the teeth, they can simply relish the fact that they don’t have to go through the teething process for the natal teeth! We look forward to providing you with more information in our winter edition. From the team at the Oral Experts Group!
