Heavy rain can disrupt Cairns’ water supply. With some reservoirs offline and treatment plants affected by dirty water, short interruptions are possible.

✔️ Store drinking water in clean, food-grade containers
✔️ Keep it in a cool & dark place and refresh every 3 months
✔️ Save non-drinking water (rain, shower, or pool water) for toilets and gardens

A little preparation means you can still drink, cook and clean if water services are disrupted.

🦷 Dental Health Week | 4–10 August 2025
✨ Help kids reach every Smilestone! ✨

From first tooth to confident teenage smiles — every oral health milestone matters. One important Smilestone many parents miss? An orthodontic check between the ages of 7 and 10!

✅ Early checks can identify crowding, bite issues, and jaw growth concerns
✅ Treatment is often easier (and shorter!) when started early
✅ Healthy smiles go beyond looks — they support speech, chewing & confidence

📅 This Dental Health Week, take a moment to book a check-up or ask your dentist if it’s time for an orthodontic visit.

📲 No referral needed – book an orthodontic consultation with us online anytime: nqortho.com.au/make-appointment
📘 Learn more about this year's Dental Health Week: teeth.org.au/dental-health-week

Let’s help kids reach every smile milestone — and set them up for a lifetime of healthy, happy teeth! 😁

Dr Rhonda in her element on stage at Orthotech Forum this morning!

📣 NQ Ortho will be closed this Thursday 24th & Friday 25th July ✈️

Our team is heading to Sydney for the OrthoTech Conference in Manly – a few days of learning, staying up to date with the latest in orthodontic tech – and of course, a bit of team building fun!

📬 Need to reach us while we’re away?
You can text our messaging centre on 0439 965 450 or email at info@nqortho.com.au.
We’ll be checking messages periodically while we are away and will do our best to respond as soon as we’re able – otherwise we’ll get back to you when we return to the clinic on Monday 28 July.

🎤 And no surprise... Dr Rhonda is back on the stage!
The team are excited to see her presenting alongside Dr Angela Coombe (Coombe Orthodontics, NSW) and Dr Brittany Shearn (Bayside Orthodontists, VIC) on how three different doctor perspectives come together to create a digitally diverse orthodontic practice – featuring their use of Angel Aligner.

🧠 Curious about what we’ll be learning?

Thanks for your understanding – we can’t wait to bring back some fresh ideas! 💜
