Central Canberra Dentists announces their spring and summer “Love Your Teeth” promotion, with encouragement and incentives that include a special offer for an oral check-up, teeth cleaning, teeth scaling and x-rays, plus discounts for followup visits.
Dr. Lois Jun, a gentle and very thorough dentist in Canberra, Australia, is teaching her patients to love their teeth. “Love your teeth and they will love you back,” she says. Dr. Jun received all of her training in Adelaide, acknowledged as the best dental school in Australia, where she learned that good preventive dentistry plus regular oral hygiene practices at home keep smiles bright, and mouths happy and healthy.
Acting as a teacher and not just a dentist, Dr. Jun helps her patients understand that lack of care results in poor oral health, namely, decay, worn teeth, gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), periodontal disease and, in the worst case, even oral cancers. Poor oral care can also cause the loss of a tooth or several teeth. Then, depending on the decision taken to handle a missing tooth or teeth, it is likely to affect facial appearance such as sunken cheeks or shrinking gums, and can affect functioning, such as chewing or speaking.
Dr. Jun says in many cases, poor oral or facial appearance has a great influence on self-esteem. For example, a person may not be willing to smile openly or speak as often as they would otherwise do.
In addition, some medical conditions can cause poor oral health, such as smoking or endocrine disorders, for example, uncontrolled diabetes. In most cases, combining moderate drinking and moderate smoking results in poor periodontal conditions.
For women, oral health is especially important before and during pregnancy. There are known associations between oral disease and heart conditions and premature birth.
Realising that people sometimes need both encouragement and an incentive, even to take care of themselves, Dr. Jun decided to introduce her own special rewarding program to encourage patients to take regular care of their oral health.
“Be loyal to your teeth, and your teeth will be loyal to you,” Dr.Jun says. “My patients learn that regular visits with me, plus their own regular attention, really improves the quality of their lives and saves them a lot of money.”
Dr. Jun’s aim is to emphasize the prevention side of dentistry, which results in happier and healthier people. She says that prevention is much better than treatment and prevention costs less than receiving treatment. This definitely will be proven over time, however, it does require some determination and time.
As part of her spring and summer promotion, Dr Jun has a special offer for check-up, cleaning, scaling and x-rays. For follow-up treatment, there will be a discount on the gap payment not covered by insurance. Plus, a discount voucher at the next scheduled check-up will be given to those who complete the simple steps. The website at centralcanberradentists.com.au contains the exact details and conditions.
Dr. Lois Jun, at Central Canberra Dentists, loves to take special care of her patients. Central Canberra Dentists are always welcoming to new patients and are willing to extend the current promotion to them. Appointments can be made online, at the website or by calling 02 6249 8551.
