Oral-B Sheds Light on Dental Anxiety
Did you know 49% of Australians suffer from dental anxiety? Oral B’s new commercial helps to raise awareness of this issue…
Up to 49% of Australians suffer from dental anxiety or phobia, and this is costing them their oral health! It is an issue that has become so widespread dental product giant Oral-B is taking it upon themselves to raise awareness and help those with the issue to seek dental treatment. View the video below.
Playing the song ‘Big Bad Wolf’ in the background helps to alleviate the seriousness of dental anxiety. This issue has many Australians avoiding the dental chair, and hoping their oral issues such as decay or periodontal (gum) disease will simply go away. Unfortunately, dental issues such as these do not go away, and will only become more serious.
To combat your dental anxiety, book an appointment at our Clayfield dental practice by contacting us.

HELP PROTECT YOUR TEETH FROM THE EFFECTS OF ACID WEAR WITH PRONAMEL
New PRONAMEL from the makers of Sensodyne is the first toothpaste on the Australian market specially formulated to help protect your teeth against the effects of acid wear.
Acid Wear is a growing problem that contributes to the everyday wear and tear of teeth. The acids in certain foods and drinks can temporarily soften the enamel on the tooth surface. If this softened enamel is not rehardened it may become vulnerable to wear. This process is known as acid wear and can result in teeth appearing yellow.
Many of the foods and drinks that are considered part of a healthy diet contribute to acid wear. These foods and drinks include orange juice, salad dressing, wine and some fruits. To reduce the risk of acid wear, it is recommended that you:
PRONAMEL from the makers of Sensodyne helps protect against acid wear. The optimised fluoride formula rehardens temporarily softened enamel to protect against acid wear. It has a neutral pH of 7.1. It contains 1000ppm sodium fluoride for cavity protection. PRONAMEL’S low abrasive formula makes it suitable for everyday use.
Brush your teeth gently but thoroughly twice a day with PRONAMEL to help protect your teeth from the effects of acid wear.
