This July, we’re brushing up on all things dental. And there’s so much to smile about! From milestone moments in the dental world to fun health awareness days, here’s what’s happening in and around Mid North Coast Dental Centres.
Celebrating 50 Years of Dental Hygiene in Australia!
This year marks a golden anniversary: 50 years of dental hygiene and dentistry as a recognised profession in Australia. Our care keeps our communities healthier and our smiles brighter.
We are so proud of the amazing team of dentists we have at Mid North Coast Dental Centres, who are bringing their experience, expertise and empathy to everyone in the family in our communities. We will be spotlighting different experts in our newsletter. To start us off, meet Dr Ben!
Dentist Spotlight: Dr Ben on Wisdom Teeth
Got a niggle at the back of your mouth? It could be your wisdom teeth.
Dr Ben is your local expert when it comes to assessing and managing wisdom teeth concerns. From pain relief to gentle extractions, you’re in safe hands.
Learn more here about his approach and why patients trust him.
Dental Health Week 4–10 August 2025
This year’s Dental Health Week is all about giving your gums the love they deserve!
Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong smile, yet gum disease often goes unnoticed until it’s advanced. Now’s the perfect time to prioritise your oral health. Book a check-up with our friendly team and keep your smile healthy from the roots up.
Fun Fact: Gum disease has been linked to heart conditions, diabetes, and more. Prevention matters. Don’t delay your next visit.
A healthy mouth is a kissable mouth!
July 6th was a playful day, yes, International Kissing Day which reminds us that fresh breath, clean teeth, and healthy gums are the best way to prep for a smooch – any time of the year!
Tip: Book your clean and polish to make every kiss count. 😘
