Dental Care Week 2018 in Beenleigh

Dental Care Week 2018 in Beenleigh

Dental Health Week (6 to 12 August) is the Australian Dental Association’s major annual oral health promotion event, and this year it comes with the semi-cheeky slogan, “Watch Your Mouth”.

The aim of the week is to educate Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health by promoting four key messages:

  • Brush teeth twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
  • Clean in-between teeth once a day (with floss or interdental brushes)
  • Eat a healthy balanced diet and limit sugar intake
  • Regularly visit the dentist for check-ups and preventive treatment.
