With many Australians facing the silent epidemic of poor oral health, a new program known as Healthy Smiles for Life is providing free dental care for people in need across the country.

Healthy Smiles for Life is a community support project sponsored by Colgate and organised in partnership with The Salvation Army, Barnardos, The Benevolent Society, and Youth Off The Streets.

The program matches volunteer dentists who donate their time and their skills free of charge with the support of Colgate to clients nominated by the partner charities. More than 220 have volunteered so far to help Australians in need.

Dental partners include the National Dental Foundation, a group of volunteer dentists who provide care for people in need, and Dental Care Network.

Originally providing free dental care for needy children under the name Bright Smiles, the successful pilot program has been extended this year to include adults.

“Healthy Smiles for Life will provide a very real overall health benefit for some of the most vulnerable people in our community,” said Major Marina Randall from the Salvation Army.

“We will be able to treat some of their pressing dental problems which will have a positive impact on their general health and I hope will help prevent further health concerns”.

“Addressing poor dental health can be a heavy burden, particularly for people who find themselves in financial difficulty,” Major Randall said.

Many Australians suffer from poor oral health[i], according to the Australian government’s National Health and Hospital Reform Commission report.  Read more...

In times of economic crisis, there are many things that we tend to go without.  Unfortunately, since it is not deemed completely necessary, dental care is one of those.  Yes there are dental clinics that provide low cost and free dental care, but if you have ever been to one, you know that those clinics are stacked to the ceiling and lined around the block with patients, all of which are in extreme agony and distress over one dental emergency or another.  

This is all too common a problem here in the United States.  We have excellent healthcare, and we have great plans for those who are under-privileged, but that healthcare does not always include dental care.  Dental care is much more of a necessity than most people realize.  It is becoming more widely knows, that a lack in dental care has serious repercussions.  These dangerous problems include complications with the heart, kidney, immune and circulatory functions. These complications can be deadly. In fact, it is estimated that a large percentage of those suffering from heart disease, got the heart disease from a complication of a severe dental infection.  In addition to this, some people can develop sepsis, which is a very dangerous and deadly infection of the blood, from neglected dental issues.  It is not like people are simply ignoring their teeth; it is the fact that they cannot afford the dental care they need, so they simply go without.  As mentioned before, there are free dental care clinics, but there are simply not enough of these to go around, and what seems like a small painful tooth problem, can turn into an extreme health issue in a matter of a day.  In order to maintain good physical health, good dental health must also be maintained.  Read more...

A few decades ago, there were insurance policies that cover almost a thousand dollars of dental fees. Today, this hasn’t changed a bit in spite of the fact that the dental care services these days cost double or even triple as it did before. The truth is that only a small number of people can afford dental care even if it covered by insurance. It is surprising that some have started opting for tooth extraction rather than paying for the dental work just because of this reason.

The search for free dentistry has been the quest of many. Finding affordable dental care within your area is an easy task. However, the problem lies when it comes to finding a dental care specialist who offers free plans for you and your family. This may take a while but it could be done if you know the exact places to search for.

The first step in searching for <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://getfreedental.com/” target=”_blank”>free dental care</a> is to ask people around you. Word of mouth is the quickest and easiest way to find good dental care centers that provide free service. Friends, colleagues and family members may happen to come across these kinds of services. It is best to inquire about the dental care units’ services, the process to avail it, appointment settings and even about their emergency services, if they provide any. Ask about the clinic’s environment and make sure that they offer a relaxing one. This is highly important especially while requesting treatment for your children.

Another great idea to search for such dental care centers is to check out for hospitals and government aided clinics that may use the services of a dentist. Dental schools are another great resource that offers <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://getfreedental.com/” target=”_blank”>free dental services</a>. These kinds of institutions offer to do a free dental check up and cleaning.  Read more...

You may be worried about using an oily anti-aging facial moisturizer, particularly if you have oily skin. It seems to make sense that using a skin care product without oil should be good for your skin. What are the pros and cons of using an oil free anti-aging facial moisturizer?

Many moisturizers containing oil don’t work well and aren’t good for your skin. That’s because there are many types of oil that aren’t particularly good for your skin, and so using them has negative effects.

Oil in an anti-aging and skincare product can lead to clogged skin pores, acne flareups and other skin disorders or skin problems. And the oil isn’t essential to moisturize in many cases because most oils used in skin care and anti-aging products don’t work successfully.

One of the most common oils used in moisturizers and other skin care and facial products is mineral oil. Why mineral oil? It’s cheap. However mineral oil isn’t at all good for the skin. It clogs pores and leaves your skin feeling oily and heavy. And mineral oil isn’t particularly successful to add moisture.

However your skin has it’s own oils which can be leached out, and an oil based skin care product can be useful. It isn’t necessary to use oil free anti-aging moisturizers.

But there’s one crucial point to remember. If you use a anti aging product with oil it has to be the right kind of oil, not mineral oil.

What are the right kind of oil? The company that produces the worlds best skincare products uses 2 specific oils that are proven to be good for moisturizing, and not lead to the kinds of problems that mineral oil in moisturizers can result in.  Read more...
