May 31 is World No Tobacco Day, and here at Smiles First Dental in Northmead, we are using the World Health Organization’s observation of the day as an opportunity to educate our community on how detrimental tobacco products of any kind can be to dental health.

Mother’s Day, the holiday honouring all mothers, is observed across much of the world. While dates and celebrations vary, Mother’s Day usually falls on the second Sunday in May and traditionally involves presenting mothers with flowers, cards, and gifts like perfume and jewellery. Continue Reading
It’s that time of the year again, time for the Easter Bilby/Bunny to make his annual visit. This means lots of treats for your little ones. While sugary treats from the Easter Bunny can bring lots of joy to your children (and you!), they can also make teeth more susceptible to tooth decay and cavities.… Continue Reading
If you are missing a tooth, teeth, or even all your teeth, you may have looked around to see how they could be replaced.

During spring-cleaning, we clean our houses, desks, offices, and even our cars, but we neglect to think about our teeth. Which is a shame, because the start of spring is the natural time to get your smile and oral health in tiptop condition for the summer that lies ahead. Continue Reading
Cold sores are an extremely common condition that affects our lips and mouth. In fact, more than 50 per cent of us carry the virus responsible, and 25 per cent of us suffer from recurring cold sores. Cold sores are recognised by the small blisters they cause on lips and are often confused with canker… Continue Reading
In the past few years, the percentage of Australians drinking drinks such as colas and juices has dropped by more than 10 per cent. This drop in consumption of highly-sugared drinks may be the result of consumers enjoying a broader range of drinks. And this seems to make sense, as Australians have become increasingly aware… Continue Reading
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 Smiles First Dental is happy to work alongside the ADA during the week and as the year continues.
