Dentists have revealed more people are grinding their teeth than ever before - and it's because of the pandemic. To discuss, @mikeamor7 spoke with @ADAVB CEO @Matt_Hopcraft.

It’s been a tough two years for Australians who have had to endure months of lockdowns, anxiety around getting COVID and the second season of Tiger King that did not live up to the hype of the first. MORE: fal.cn/3nGbm

Every day between now and the election I will post a photo showing what we commonly see in aged care facilities, and why a Medicare Seniors Dental program is urgently required. Residents deserve to have access to #dental care. The mouth is part of the body. #MyMouthMatters

Another Federal Budget that is light on for oral health. Once again we see an extension to the National Partnership Agreement for adult dental services - another Band-Aid to a system that is broken.

Such a shame. our public waiting lists her in Vic average 25 months and in some areas 4 years . oral health shunned again. What about the seniors that can’t afford or access to dental care. We’ve spent two years protecting the vulnerable from covid but not there for them now!

Lowering the eligibility age for CDBS to <2yrs is good news, considering kids should have their first dental visit by the age of 1. Unfortunately no announcements related to aged care - disappointing given the recommendations from the Royal Commission. Something for the election.

Not much in the Federal Budget specifically for #dental. The National Partnership Agreement funding extended for another year, which will be welcomed by the public sector but doesn't provide the sustainable funding certainty that's required. 🦷

Get sugar savvy this #DentalHealthWeek This year the ADA is helping people come to grips with how much sugar is hiding in the food and drink they routinely consume so they can reduce their sugary consumption and increase their oral healthiness. ada.org.au/Get-Sugar-Savvy-D…

While they may seem cheap and refreshing, in the long run these super sugary drinks can lead to unhealthy weight gain, increasing the risk of serious health problems #rethinksugarydrink

The UK sugary drinks levy has seen sugar in soft drinks reduced by 1/3 and people’s sugar intake decline by 1 teaspoon per day. Time for an Australian health levy on sugary drinks.

Latest paper from @BMCMedicine with @Pete_Scarbs, @harringr and @MikeRayner at @Oxford_NDPH shows 34% reduction in mean sugar content of soft drinks in UK since 2015, equating to 4.6g reduction in sugar sold per cap per day bit.ly/3a1Xjaq

Energy drinks lead to tooth decay and tooth erosion, and are not suitable for kids. #rethinksugarydrink #dental 🦷
