The first complete week of August (6-12) is the Australian Dental Association’s (ADA) Dental Health Week! Dental Health Week is the ADA’s annual oral health event, and My Local Dentists Northmead is happy to work alongside the ADA during the week and as the year continues.
If you’re thinking about investing in braces, there are a variety of things to take into consideration.
Your dentist may suggest orthodontic treatment if misaligned teeth begin to affect your or your child’s oral health, or if you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth.
From ancient Egyptian "toothers" to the highly trained dentists and staff at My Local...
Have you ever wondered why your dentist recommends that you visit at least twice a year?...
Cavities are more common than many other childhood ailments, and they can cause a range of other problems as well. That’s why many dental professionals recommend that children receive dental sealants to protect against decay. Dental sealants give parents peace of mind by protecting their children’s teeth.
The most likely location for a cavity to develop in your child’s mouth is on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. These surfaces are filled with tiny grooves that trap bacteria and food particles. A toothbrush can’t always reach these dark, moist little crevices. This creates the perfect conditions for tooth decay.
The most common cause of bleeding gums in ALL cases is gingivitis or gum disease. But the fact is that braces can make it easier for gum disease to take hold in your mouth.
At My Local Dentists Northmead, we want you to know why braces may make your gums bleed, and what you can do about it.
There are multiple possible causes of swelling and bleeding related to braces.
We get one set of permanent teeth and if we lose them, they can only be replaced with temporary, although durable, restorations. The three main options for tooth replacement are dentures, dental bridges, and dental implants.
With the holiday season here, sweet treats are all around us. As delicious as they are, unfortunately, they are the leading cause for tooth decay.

When we think about gum disease (which is probably not that often!), we normally think about how to avoid it.
The best way to tackle the problem, or course, is to brush and floss your teeth and keep up regular visits to your dentist.
But if you do have gum disease, what can be done to cure it and to ensure that it does not return? At My Local Dentists Northmead, we have answers for your questions!
