Woollahra Dental would like to share an Oral B article about how the lack of Vitamin C can show in your gums. Gum tissue conditions can have many causes, but don’t forget to consider poor nutrition. Inadequate vitamin C can promote bleeding gums that can develop into gingivitis if left untreated. Vitamin C also helps the body perform maintenance and repair on bones, teeth, and cartilage, and it also helps wounds heal. If you suffer from bleeding gums and your dentist rules out poor dental hygiene, reassess your diet. Be sure to consume plenty of foods rich in vitamin C. They aren’t hard to find. Oranges, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red peppers are especially high in vitamin C. Try to get your vitamin C from actual fruits and vegetables, instead of fruit and vegetable juices. Besides being high in sugar, most fruit juices are quite acidic, and they can promote erosion of the tooth enamel. Fruit juices are fine in small amounts, but drink them with meals, or use a straw if possible ...

For both adults and children to help alleviate anxiety. Basic breathing exercises that encourage breath control can help release stress. Feel free to modify it so it suits your comfort level and needs.

Find more about Dr. Anthony Ancell  Many people think that “body type” just describes the way someone looks. In fact, your body type can also provide information about how you respond to food intake and about your hormonal and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) characteristics. Physique characteristics can thus be linked to metabolic differences between individuals. Once someone establishes their body type, they can then adjust nutrient intake to maximize body composition and health related goals. There are three general categories of body types (somatotypes): ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. Very few people fall perfectly into one of the three categories. People are often a mix of characteristics. Additionally, years of training and good nutrition can change the outward appearance of one’s body. For instance, a bodybuilder might be mistaken for a “natural” mesomorph when in fact, s/he is really an endomorph who’s trained and dieted hard; or an ectomorph who’s spent ...

We would like to share something we encounter in our patients often and it's the importance or breathing. People underestimate the immense power of breathing and this becomes a crucial part of the way they live and handle life.

These debilitating challenges can be meaningfully impacted with ten to twenty minutes of breathing exercises per day.

This is one of the best videos we have found that explain what happens with mouth breathers. We see it all the time in our practice. If your child is a mouth breather you do need to see a Dentist/Doctor/Ear Nose and Throat specialist as soon as possible to see if you can change it back to the correct nasal breathing. Read more about what we can do to help and give us a call 0293635690 or email us to discuss further our approach to your health. www.woollahradental.com 

At  Woollahra Dental Practice  we realise that the oral cavity is not treated separately from the rest of the body. Our field is linked in many ways to whole body health. Breathing is essential for all our body functions. We would like to share a diaphragmatic breathing technique: Breathe in slowly and deeply so that you feel your belly rise under your hand. You may also notice your lower rib cage move wide under your other hand – remember the focus is upon keeping the upper chest muscles relaxed and using the diaphragm to breathe. This technique can be cued by thinking to “breathe into the belly”. Breathe out by letting the rib cage fall back to resting. You should feel a gentle rise and fall of your belly under your hand. www.woollahradental.com Our Mission is to work in partnership with our patients, team members and other health practitioners to provide a holistic approach to dental care. We serve our patients with compassion, excellence and value. We...
