• Why are we here?

    Our Missions and Vision

    What is our aim?

    Our aim is to provide correct and the most updated oral health information for the Australian population, so as to address the disparity of knowledge between different age groups and avoid the practice of inappropriate/incorrect oral health habits.

     
    We believe that the patient is the most important member of the dental team, and a slight modification of oral health behaviors can make a significant difference in the prevention and control of oral diseases, such as tooth decay and gum diseases.
     
    However, this website CANNOT be used as an alternative tool for clinical diagnosis or treatment planning.

    How do we strive for the best? 

    + We are qualified and registered dental practitioners in Australia

    + We aim to provide the most up to date information in dentistry

    + We collect information from valid sources e.g. research from educational institutes and peer-reviewed papers

    + We consulted registered and experienced dental practitioners in Australia and the United Kingdom to validate the information before releasing it


    **Oral hygiene techniques and use of products may vary according to actual needs and clinical conditions - consult a qualified dental practitioner before using or practicing**
