Due to the popularity of our Birthday special… we’d like to announce our next whitening promotion…
Gum disease is a common problem that many of us suffer from without even knowing it. It is important to identify the early signs of gum disease before the problem is to worsen.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Following on my earlier post on caring for your children’s teeth, I thought it would be useful to touch on the topic of tooth eruption sequence.

Underwood Dental Care are having our 2nd birthday on the 13th of October. (how time flies!) To celebrate, we will be rewarding our patients with $100 off our take home whitening kits for the month of October.This means you can have that brighter, whiter smile for $200.
Causes of Bruxism
Teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching is a very common problem that affects most people at one point or another. There are many causes of bruxism, with the most common cause believed to be stress.
Bruxism often occurs in sleep exacerbated by sleep-related conditions such as snoring, sleep paralysis, night terrors, sleep apnea etc. However, wake bruxism can occur from medication use (high caffeine), anxiety and, depression.
