🧠🦷 Fascinating (and slightly alarming) research from South Korea: scientists have found strong evidence that oral bacteria can move into the gut and even affect the brain, potentially playing a role in Parkinson’s disease.

The study showed higher levels of Streptococcus mutans (a common oral bacterium) in people with Parkinson’s. Substances produced by these bacteria were found to travel through the bloodstream to the brain, where they may contribute to inflammation and the loss of dopamine-producing neurons.

In mouse studies, blocking this pathway significantly reduced brain inflammation and motor symptoms.

The takeaway? Oral health may be far more connected to brain health than we realised — and targeting the oral-gut microbiome could open new paths for treating Parkinson’s. 🦠➡️🧠

An early Christmas arrives at DenturePoint… 🎄 🤶

07/11/2025

The final VOFS Study Group for 2025 took place at Woodlands Golf Club — such a great evening bringing together colleagues from Rosebud to St Kilda.

We heard excellent presentations from Dr Brent Woods on managing surgical extraction complications and Dr Jason Savage on The Hidden Price of Wisdom.
The talks, dinner, and networking made for a fantastic night.
Thank you

Yet again about

Immediate dentures are a great way to leave the dental chair with a smile right after extractions — they often improve your appearance instantly.

However, as the gums and bone heal over the following months, the fit naturally becomes quite loose. This is completely normal and part of the healing process.

After around 6–12 months, once things have settled, it’s usually time to start on a new, final denture to restore comfort, function, and stability. 🦷

Every smile has its stages — and we’re here for you through each one. 💛

Left vs. Right (Profile Photos)
• Before: The denture teeth sit slightly more forward and flat. This causes the upper lip to stretch a bit and look tense, with less natural curvature at the corners of the mouth. The smile line appears “fixed” rather than flowing.
• After: The teeth are set back just enough and at a softer angulation. This relaxes the lip, reduces the appearance of protrusion, and creates a smoother profile. The nasolabial fold (the crease from the nose to the corner of the mouth) looks softer and the whole lower face appears more at ease.

⸻

🌟 Why These Subtle Changes Matter
• Facial Support: Denture teeth act like a “frame” for the lips and cheeks. Millimeters of difference in tooth position can dramatically change facial tension.
• Natural Expression: When the teeth follow the natural curve of the lips, the mouth closes more easily and the smile feels effortless.
• Confidence: Patients often say they look “less denture-y” and more like themselves when small refinements are made.

At Denture Point we love showing how small, precise refinements can create a huge difference in both profile and smile. In these before/after photos you can see how adjusting tooth angulation and arch form gave our patient a more relaxed lip line, softer profile, and a naturally flowing smile. Sometimes millimeters make all the difference.

😁 Top vs. Bottom (Front Smiles)
• Before: The anterior (front) teeth are slightly more upright and uniform, giving a “blocky” appearance. The incisal edges (biting edges) create a flatter smile line. The lower lip sits a little underneath, making the smile look forced.
• After: The anterior teeth have been slightly re-angled and the smile line follows the contour of the lower lip more naturally. Small adjustments in tooth length and arch form allow the corners of the mouth to lift gently. This makes the smile look broader and more spontaneous, not “stuck on.” The lip now sits comfortably against the teeth rather than being pushed out.

Today DenturePoint reached a milestone I never dreamed would come so soon — 100 reviews on Google! 🥳

Leaving a review for a denture clinic is not the same as leaving one for your favorite café, hotel, or restaurant. It’s deeply personal, and that makes every single word you’ve shared even more meaningful. 🙏

I am 100-fold grateful to each and every one of you who took the time to share your experience. You have no idea how much joy and encouragement this brings me. Your trust and support mean the world. 💕

Here’s to many more smiles together! 😁✨ at Mornington Peninsula

Second gift this week — I’m starting to feel a bit spoilt! 😅 One of my favourite patients surprised me with a diffuser full of little seashells (who even knew that was a thing? 🐚).
Safe to say my Wednesday morning was off to a cracking start. At this rate, I might need a bigger shelf for all the goodies… 😁

Big shoutout to my patient for gifting me a handmade and custom made (especially for me!) golf club! ⛳️
Now, I don’t actually play golf… but with this club I could at least look the part. Just don’t stand too close when I test it out — my swing is more “Happy Gilmore” than “hole in one.” 😆

Another digital conference… another big success!
