Sports drinks are now seen as an indispensable part of playing sport and exercising. Unfortunately, these are high in sugars and acids that over time can cause tooth erosion and decay. You don’t have to avoid them all together, but understand how to minimise the risks.

1300SMILES Ltd has completed the acquisition of Dentalplus, a long established (15 years), multi-dentist practice in the northern Brisbane suburb of Brendale, Queensland. 

Did you know snoring could be a symptom of a serious medical condition called sleep apnoea? This results in frequent pauses in breath then restarts with a loud snort or gasp. It is caused when muscles supporting the airway relax during sleep, allowing the airway to collapse inwards and becoming blocked.

Regular check-up and clean visits to your dentist at 1300SMILES are vital, as the removal of tartar from your teeth will help keep your teeth and gums in good health. If we see you at six monthly intervals we will be able to detect and correct any small problems before they cause any major discomfort or pain, and provide preventative treatment options that will be more cost-effective in the long run.
