-- Every year during the first full week of August, Australia’s Dental Health Week - a campaign sponsored by the Australian Dental Association (ADA) - kicks off to increase efforts to “Keep your smile for life”.
TLC Dental, a leading cosmetic dental clinic in Sydney’s central business district has partnered with Smile Docs, a leading dental directory, to support and encourage good oral health habits, including brushing twice per day, flossing and cleaning between teeth, and getting routine check ups to prevent more expensive dental treatments.
As a busy dental practice, TLC Dental encounters many people who are concerned with preserving their teeth and creating a better smile both visually and structurally. But what about those who don’t regularly see a dentist? This is where the campaign will have the most effect. Utilising social media, as well as other media outlets, dental clinics may be able to reach more people than in the past and to have conversations around good oral health practices.
Dental Health Week is only one week a year, but the goal for the ADA is to create more opportunities and to encourage conversations to continue past August. It is estimated that only 1 in 4 people floss or clean in between their teeth. Combined with regular twice daily brushing, healthy food and snacks and consistent dental visits, the expectation is that everyone can keep their smile throughout their lifetime.
The main oral health messages and the key messages of this year's Dental Health Week campaign aims to reinforce the importance of maintaining good oral health. Australians should expect to keep their teeth for their lifetime and practising the ADA’s four key messages above can help people to reach this goal.
Dr Leonard Hoffenberg, owner of TLC Dental, has been practising locally since 1998. His office provides dental treatments of the highest quality for long term successful results. He says, “I have been described as a perfectionist. The key is communication and I spend time with my patients, ascertaining their goals and concerns regarding dental care.”
His office and team have a special interest in long term restorative, aesthetic and implant dentistry. This falls perfectly in alignment with the current campaign and can help ease the stress and anxiety associated with many people and their hesitance in getting dental treatments. To help area residents overcome their dental anxiety, TLC Dental is offering a free smile assessment and consultation through Smile Docs, so patients who have put off going to a dentist due to fear or anxiety can come into their practice, meet the staff and have a conversation with Dr Hoffenberg about their dental concerns and goals.
TLC Dental proudly serves Sydney’s Central Business District area, with convenient office hours for busy professionals. The experienced team offers a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures including: smile makeovers, teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants, Invisalign and ClearCorrect orthodontics.
