In the first complete week of each August, the Australian Dental Association and all of Australia recognise Dental Health Week. This year, that week is from the 5th to 11th. The week is dedicated to topics that might help Australians improve their dental health, and of course, DonEast Dental fully supports that goal. In previous years the themes have been as broad as ‘oral health’, and as specific as women’s oral health, oral hygiene and diet, and oral hygiene and sport. This year, the topic is another general one – How’s Your Oral Health Tracking? This question asks two things; first, how is your oral health doing in a broad sense, and second, how well are you keeping track of it? After all, it is easy to believe we are doing well at oral hygiene, but how do we know if we are? And given that we live in busy times, this is a great topic. Most of us carry a wide range of responsibilities, tasks, hobbies, jobs, etc., that keep us busy enough to put oral hygiene and dental care off, sometimes. But did you know it could be those with the least busy schedules who have the hardest time keeping their dental care ‘on track’?
