Take a look outside and it becomes obvious – spring is here!
Sunny, warmer days, birds in the air, blooming flowers, and the idea of a new start dominates the season. As a part of clearing out the old and dusty and ringing in the new and sparkly, spring cleaning begins.
We all know this is an excellent time to deep clean your house, reorganize, and re-design.

We don’t much think about fractured jaws, but they are the second most common fracture on the human head (behind only the nose) and the 10th most common fracture on the entire body. And because the jaws are important in breathing, eating, and talking, when they break it can be terrible news.

Everybody knows that drinking water is vital for your health. But staying hydrated can be difficult – and sometimes boring.
As a rule of thumb, you are told to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. But after the first few glasses of water, you might begin to find the taste gets boring. And after eight glasses? You may never want to drink water again!
This is why people sometimes get tired of drinking plain water or look for something a bit more exciting. And sometimes, this choice is sparkling water.

Dental Health Week (Aug 6-12), is the Australian Dental Association’s (ADA) annual oral health promotion. EK Dental Surgery enthusiastically supports Dental Health Week as it is a week specifically set aside to focus on why oral health is so important.
Oral health is related to ALL health – it can affect more than just your teeth – it can also lead to infection, inflammation, and cardiovascular and other systemic diseases. This means that proper oral health care technique is a key part of your total health.

Your health is important to you, right? And if your health is important to you, fighting gingivitis should be important to you. This is because to keep yourself healthy you need to prevent toxins and bacteria and from entering your body.
Because your mouth is such a target for bacteria, poor oral hygiene or preventive care can cause the early stages of gum disease, also known as gingivitis.

Teeth can suffer damage from a wide range of causes, including untreated cavities, gum disease, and even injury.
Modern dental medicine provides many ways to treat these issues and in cases of serious damage, one of the most common restorative and protective treatments is the root canal.
For some patients, however, the very mention of a root canal causes anxiety, even fear. The fact is, however, that root canals are extremely safe, effective, and most often simple – they are just often misunderstood.

Physical activity is a key part of childhood (and is good for adults as well!), but the Australian Dental Association warns that playing sports without appropriate protection can be detrimental to teeth.
Estimates are that 20% of Australian children will suffer a dental trauma by age of 14, with much of the trauma occurring during sports activities.
This is why EK Dental Surgery strongly believes that mouth guards are an indispensible piece of athletic equipment for children, teens, and adults who take part in high-risk/high-contact team sports.
