We continue to operate in accordance with the novel coronavirus restrictions for dental practice.

At this time was are only performing non-routine and emergency services.

For this reason, commencing April 2020, the surgery has decided to temporarily suspend the notification to our patients of the periodic dental recall examination reminder. We will resume this process (including back-dated appointments) once the novel coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

We ask our patients and their families to stay safe.

The surgery would like to inform our patients that we presently remain open and continue to operate in accordance with the government shutdown regulations and ADA guidelines.

We remind patients that the following parameters are considered when contacting us for dental treatment.

Have you,
1. returned from overseas or interstate in the past 14 days, or
2. felt unwell, including but not limited to symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath, or
3. had any contact with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 in the past 14 days.

We ask you and your families to stay safe.
 

The surgery would like to inform our patients that as a healthcare operation we are exempt from the government’s shutdown regulations and hence remain open.

We would also like to advise patients that as well as employing standard precautions to prevent cross infection, we also use ozone extensively in the surgery as an antimicrobial agent. Please refer to our website for further information on ozone.

We ask you adhere to the published guidelines by the Department of Health to prevent transmission of the novel coronavirus.

Our surgery will be closed for the Labour Day public holiday this Monday 9^th March 2020.

We will re-open for normal operating hours on Tuesday 10^th at 8:30am.

It is extremely important to maintain sound oral hygiene after having an extraction. The mouth is the “dirtiest” environment in the body, teeming with microbes.

An extraction site is a wound. We are asking the body to heal a wound in a sea of microbes! Therefore, make sure you are cleaning the entire mouth at least twice a day, carefully brushing the teeth in the region of the extraction. You can also use a saltwater mouth bath several times a day to assist hygiene, making sure you do not swish vigorously (we need to preserve the friable blood clot!).

Don’t forget sound nutrition – the body needs a balanced array of vitamins and minerals to aid the process of healing.

Simple steps will make all the difference!

If you have any other questions regarding your dental care, you can call our Morwell dental practice on (03) 5134 1311.

We will be closed for Australia Day public holiday this Monday 27th January 2020.

We will re-open on Tuesday the 28th January at 8:30am.

You can call our surgery in Morwell for appointments and enquiries on (03) 5134 1311

We wish you all an enjoyable and safe long weekend!

Some patients choose not to eat anything before having a dental extraction. This can sometimes result in patients feeling lightheaded in the surgery, and occasionally fainting. Its always best to eat something which is nutrient dense before an extraction. If a patient is unable to eat, at least ingest a drink that contains sugar such as a sweetened cordial. This will ensure blood sugar levels will not fall too low during a procedure so we can avoid this sort of complication.

If you have any other questions regarding your next procedure you can call our Morwell dental practice on (03) 5134 1311.

 

We hope you all had a happy and safe new year.
