Earlier this week, our Federal and State governments in conjunction with the Australian Dental Association (ADA) announced that there would be an easing of restrictions on dental services as of Monday 27th April 2020.
Commencing Monday our dental surgery will be operating in accordance with the revised guidelines for dental practice.
We would also like to advise patients that as well as employing standard precautions to prevent cross infection, we also use ozone extensively in the dental surgery as an antimicrobial agent. Please refer to our website for further information about ozone.

At this time was are only performing non-routine and emergency services.

We ask our patients and their families to stay safe.
The surgery would like to inform our patients that we presently remain open and continue to operate in accordance with the government shutdown regulations and ADA guidelines.

It is extremely important to maintain sound oral hygiene after having an extraction. The mouth is the “dirtiest” environment in the body, teeming with microbes.
An extraction site is a wound. We are asking the body to heal a wound in a sea of microbes! Therefore, make sure you are cleaning the entire mouth at least twice a day, carefully brushing the teeth in the region of the extraction. You can also use a saltwater mouth bath several times a day to assist hygiene, making sure you do not swish vigorously (we need to preserve the friable blood clot!).
Don’t forget sound nutrition – the body needs a balanced array of vitamins and minerals to aid the process of healing.
Simple steps will make all the difference!
If you have any other questions regarding your dental care, you can call our Morwell dental practice on (03) 5134 1311.
We will be closed for Australia Day public holiday this Monday 27th January 2020.
We will re-open on Tuesday the 28th January at 8:30am.

We wish you all an enjoyable and safe long weekend!
Some patients choose not to eat anything before having a dental extraction. This can sometimes result in patients feeling lightheaded in the surgery, and occasionally fainting. Its always best to eat something which is nutrient dense before an extraction. If a patient is unable to eat, at least ingest a drink that contains sugar such as a sweetened cordial. This will ensure blood sugar levels will not fall too low during a procedure so we can avoid this sort of complication.
If you have any other questions regarding your next procedure you can call our Morwell dental practice on (03) 5134 1311.
