When there isn’t enough space in the jaw, wisdom teeth often grow in the wrong direction.
Instead of erupting normally, they can get trapped (impacted) and press against nearby teeth.

This pressure can lead to pain, swelling, gum infection, and even damage to the adjacent tooth.

What starts as a routine eruption can quickly become a more serious dental problem.

Early evaluation helps detect these issues before complications develop—and makes treatment simpler.

🦷 Fun Dental History Fact:
�Contrary to popular belief, George Washington did not have wooden teeth.
�His dentures were actually made from a mix of materials including ivory (hippopotamus and elephant), gold, lead, and even human teeth—a common practice in the 18th century.

Thankfully, dentistry has come a long way since then!

A quiet visitor in the garden 🦎

We were lucky to spot this native skink in our back garden.

Skinks rely on healthy jaws and teeth to feed and survive in the wild—another reminder that good oral health is closely linked to overall wellbeing.

In dentistry, we see the same principle every day: strong teeth and healthy gums support nutrition, comfort, and long‑term health. Preventive care and regular check‑ups help ensure your smile continues to function well for years to come.

A small moment from nature to start the day.

🦷 Fun Dental Fact!

Your teeth are as unique as your fingerprint — no two people have the exact same set of teeth! 😁✨

That means your smile is one of a kind… so make sure you look after it with regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups. 💙

🌺 Lest We Forget – ANZAC Day 🌺

Today we pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of the ANZACs, and all those who have served our country.

At Johnsonville Family Dentist, we reflect with gratitude on the freedoms we enjoy because of their bravery, and we extend our respect to veterans, service members, and their families in our community.

🌄 At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

📢 Holiday Hours Notice

Our practice will be closed for the Anzac Day long weekend on 25 April, 26 April, and 27 April.
