It is Dental Health Week from Monday 7^th to Sunday 13^th August.

This year for Dental Health Week, the Australian Dental Association is helping everyone understand that your MIND and your BODY and your MOUTH are all connected.

If you haven’t had a dental check-up in a while, now is the time to schedule an appointment.

Contact our helpful staff on 03 5134 1311 to make a booking.

Remember Prevention is better than cure!

 

The Child Dental Benefit Scheme (CDBS) provides $1,052 of Medicare funded dental treatment over a two-year calendar period for eligible children.

Check-ups, x-rays, cleaning, fissure sealants, fillings and extractions are among the services provided.

Children whose parents hold a Health Care Card or who receive an eligible Centrelink payment may be eligible for the CDBS. All parents can check their eligibility for the CDBS via the Services Australia website.

Good health starts with what you put in your mouth!

Poor oral health can not only ruin your teeth, but lead to various other chronic and life-threatening conditions, as well as unnecessary pain, suffering and potentially expensive treatment.

School holidays can be the perfect time to book your child in for a general dental check-up. You can call our helpful staff on (03) 5134 1311 to see if your child is eligible under the CDBS.

Over the Easter long weekend our dental surgery will be closed from Good Friday (7^th April 2023) and reopen on Easter Tuesday 11^th April at 8:30am.

The team at Dr Caprara Dental Surgery wish all our patients and their families a safe and enjoyable Easter time.

According to the Australian Dental Association (ADA), sports related injuries account for almost 40 per cent of dental injuries, yet only 36 per cent of Australians wear a mouthguard when playing contact sport.

Most winter sports are associated with physical contact- some quite excessive. Too often we have seen a number of trauma patients who have not been wearing mouthguards while engaging in contact sport. The results can sometimes be devastating.

A customised well fitted mouthguard is an essential prerequisite for anyone involved in any contact sport. If you’re not wearing a mouthguard, or if you have an old poorly fitting one, now is the time to make an appointment to have a customised mouthguard constructed. 

Don’t wait until you suffer major dental trauma to think about prevention!

Call us today on (03) 5134 1311 to schedule an appointment for your custom-fitted mouthguard.

Our dental surgery will be closed for the Victoria Labour Day public holiday on Monday 13^th March 2023, and we will re-open Tuesday 14^th March at 8:30am.

For any appointment needs, you can call our Morwell surgery on (03) 5134 1311 and speak to our friendly staff.

The team at Dr Caprara Dental Surgery wish all our patients and their families a safe and enjoyable public holiday weekend.

The key messages aim to reinforce the importance of maintaining good oral health throughout the entirety of a person’s life, which include to:

– Brush teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste;

– Clean between your teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes;

– Eat a healthy diet that is low in added sugar;

– Use your teeth only for their intended purpose; and

– Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and preventive care.
