Did you know an adult should help their child to brush their teeth until they are around 8 years old? Young children lack the manual dexterity and coordination to brush effectively on their own.

Did you also know that in NSW if you have kids aged 0 – 17 years old they may be able to get free dental care through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS)? Find out more here: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/cdbs

Heart disease is not just a men’s issue. It’s one of the leading causes of death in Australian women.

Symptoms of a heart attack can be different in women — and they can also have additional risk factors.

There hasn’t been much research into how heart disease affects women. Women are also under-represented in clinical trials. As a result, women are often diagnosed and treated for CVD based on data about men.

It’s important to understand female-related risks and symptoms of CVD, and to take control of your heart health by asking your doctor about heart health checks.

Head to our link in the comments to learn more about cardiovascular disease in women and what to look out for.
