New Horizons Dental celebrates Dental Health Week 2024, a major annual oral health campaign. This campaign focuses on the importance of taking steps to care for your gums and teeth and to help you keep your teeth and smile for life!

This year’s dental week focus is on gum health, encouraging people to think about how they can care for their gums as well as their teeth. 75% of Australians admit that they rarely or never floss. Just brushing your teeth isn’t enough when it comes to your gums. Bacteria can get trapped in the spaces between your teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. These bacteria can potentially cause serious problems like gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss.

This is why it’s important to clean between your teeth and keep your gums healthy by using floss or interdental brushes as well as regular tooth brushing. Now is a great time to book an appointment with Dr. Stringer for face to face advice and get your questions answered.
