When you attend one of our Shorecare Clinics, our reception staff will provide you with a face mask to wear for the duration of your visit.

While mask wearing is not essential in most areas at New Zealand Alert Level 1, including most public hospitals, it remains mandatory in certain situations such as public transport. Most Auckland General Practices and Urgent Care Clinics have elected to continue mask use in order to increase the level of protection for our patients and staff from respiratory infections, including COVID-19.

We recognise that mask wearing is unpleasant for many people, but ask that you comply with this request, during this difficult time. If you are unable to wear a mask, please let the staff know and we may be able to isolate you in a vacant room, or request that you wait in your car until the doctor is ready to see you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Please be aware that Flavours increase their usual Takeaway prices when on the Uber Eats website and then with the cost of delivery etc the final cost was just over twice the cost compared to if I had simply picked it up myself. Seems like an overly inflated price for convenience. (I wasn't feeling well otherwise I'd have gone and got it myself).

Brush Your Teeth.
The best Bachmannsmile lasts only as long as you keep your teeth healthy.
It is important to brush your teeth to prevent gum disease. Refusal to brush one's teeth for several days can lead to the onset of gum disease. Brushing ensures the removal of plaque, which is the primary cause for tooth decay and gum disease; it also arrests the build-up of any plaque formation.
Tips on Proper Brushing
Dentists say that the minimum time you should spend brushing your teeth is 3 minutes twice a day. Here are some tips on how to brush properly:
Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle against your gumline. Gently brush from where the tooth and gum meet to the chewing surface in short (about half-a-tooth-wide) strokes. Brushing too hard can cause receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and, over time, loose teeth.
Use the same method to brush all outside and inside surfaces of your teeth.
To clean the chewing surfaces of your teeth, use short sweeping strokes, tipping the bristles into the pits and crevices.
To clean the inside surfaces of your top and bottom front teeth and gums, hold the brush almost vertical. With back and forth motions, bring the front part of the brush over the teeth and gums.
Using a forward-sweeping motion, gently brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth to remove the decay-causing bacteria that exist in these places.
Use an egg timer or play a favourite song while brushing your teeth to get used to brushing for a full 3 minutes. Some electronic toothbrushes have timers that let you know when 3 minutes are up.
Please, please, please, brush Your Teeth.

Hi Auckland,

Auckland has topped the global rankings of liveability, rising 11 places to take the top spot.

The survey, commissioned by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), gives mathematical weight to such a claim. New Zealand's world-leading response to the spread of Covid-19 has been cited as one of the leading factors in the significant jump in rankings.

The EIU's index rates the living conditions and comprises 30 factors grouped into five categories: stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.
