🥶 Love chewing ice? Your teeth don’t!

It might feel refreshing, but crunching on ice can crack or chip your enamel, cause tooth sensitivity, and even damage fillings or crowns. Once enamel is gone, it doesn’t grow back — leaving your teeth more vulnerable to pain and decay.

💡 Tip: If you crave that crunch, try chilled water or crushed ice instead — it’s gentler on your smile!

😬 Do you grind your teeth at night? You’re not alone! Many people clench or grind (bruxism) in their sleep without even realizing it. Over time, it can cause:
✔️ Headaches & jaw pain
✔️ Worn or cracked teeth
✔️ Poor sleep quality
What can help?
✨ A custom-fitted night guard from your dentist
✨ Limiting caffeine & alcohol before bed
✨ Good sleep hygiene—consistent routine, no screens right before sleep
👉 If you wake up with sore jaws, headaches, or notice tooth wear, it might be time to have a chat. Small changes now can protect your smile long-term! 🦷💤You can make an appointment via Visage’s website or call 3123 4848

Love your coffee but worried about your smile?
Here’s why sipping coffee all day isn’t so great for your teeth:

➡️ Stains – Coffee’s dark pigments cling to enamel, leaving teeth yellow over time.
➡️ Acid erosion – Frequent exposure weakens enamel, making teeth more sensitive and cavity-prone.
➡️ Dry mouth – Caffeine reduces saliva, which normally protects teeth from decay.

💡 Tip: Enjoy your coffee in one sitting instead of sipping all day, rinse with water afterwards, and keep up with brushing and flossing. Your teeth (and your dentist) will thank you! 😁

💡 Thinking about replacing a missing tooth? Dr Rod has just come back from another implant course (yes, he’s obsessed!) and wants to share the differences between bridges and implants so you can make the best choice for your smile.
✨ Bridges
A bridge is a row of crowns joined together and cemented onto the neighbouring teeth. This usually means filing down healthy teeth to create “pegs” for support. While the process is fairly quick (around 2 visits over 2–3 weeks), if those supporting teeth aren’t strong, complications may arise in the future.
✨ Implants
An implant acts just like a natural tooth — it’s anchored to your jaw, so it doesn’t rely on neighbouring teeth. This helps maintain the natural shape of your jaw and gives you the look and function of a real tooth. The process can take a little longer (around 3 months), but the results are worth it!
💰 Cost?
We know this is a big factor. That’s why at Visage Dental and Dermal, we keep our implant prices reasonable — so you don’t have to compromise on your smile.

Dental implants can last a lifetime if taken proper care of. Unlike dentures, they generally do not need to be replaced after a certain amount of time.
    •    Dental bridges rely on neighbouring teeth for support, whereas dental implants are fused into your jawbone. This protects your remaining healthy teeth from damage or strain as the teeth are not drilled down to pegs. If the sporting teeth are not sound then drilling them down to pegs can increase the chances of needing more extensive treatment in the future.
    •    Caring for dental implants is generally quite easy as you would practice the same oral care as you would for your normal teeth. This entails brushing, flossing and regular dental visits.
       •  Here at Visage Dental  the cost of implants is comparable to that of a bridge so cost is not a prohibitive factor.
