Did you know that a dental checkup is recommended for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive? Your body goes through so many changes, including in the mouth, and it is a good idea to treat any problems early, before the baby arrives! Give our clinic a call to make an appointment with any of our dentists for a full checkup and clean.
As a member of the Australian Dental Association (Victoria) Oral Health Committee, I was recently invited by the Victorian Australian Medical Association to contribute an article in their member magazine VicDoc on the topic of Pregnancy and Oral Health.
The timing was perfect as I have been on maternity leave and the personal experience was fresh in my mind! Preventive oral health is a huge passion of mine, and it was a great opportunity to share a dental perspective with medical doctors.
I would like to thank all the dentists and staff at Brighter Smiles for their hard work over the last year while I have been away. I look forward to catching up with all my regular patients again in April, and meeting some new faces too!
