Importance of a Dental check up
Gum disease (periodontitis) can be associated with an increased risk of developing heart disease.A review of several published studies finds that gum disease is, by itself, a risk factor for coronary artery disease.
Poor dental health may increase the risk of a bacterial infection in the blood stream, which may affect the heart valves. Oral health may be particularly important if you have artificial heart valves.Tooth loss patterns are connected to coronary artery disease.There is a connection between diabetes and cardiovascular disease and evidence that people with diabetes benefit from periodontal treatment.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
