Did you know you only grow 2 sets of teeth in your life? Unlike sharks or crocodiles who have multiple sets of teeth that are constantly being replaced, humans only develop 2.

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

South Western Sydney Local Health District hosted the annual Dying to Know Day Expo on Friday 8 August. Dying to know Day is about starting honest, empowering conversations around death, dying and grief - topics we all face, but often avoid.

At this year's expo, we brought together experts, carers and community voices to explore how we can better plan, support and connect before, during and after the end of life.

We encourage you to ask yourself the following questions:
How can we support our ageing parents?
How do we care for a loved one with a life-limiting illness?
How can we prepare for a good end of life - whenever it may come?

Having these conversations are essential in helping us make informed, compassionate choices for ourselves and those we love.

See highlights from the Expo below!
