Wedding Photo Tips Wedding photo tips are usually about angles and lighting but your smile is the most important part of the picture!  Here’s some wedding photo tips from your dentist, for looking your best in those all important photographs! Lippy on the teeth – no we’re NOT kidding Clear lip gloss or Vaseline on your front teeth will make your teeth shine on camera.  Back in the day, it was the hot tip of Hollywood actresses and directors!  Apply a very small amount to your front teeth and you’ll be sparkling! Wedding photo angles for wonky teeth See our bride above? She’s got an imperfect smile! You need to look very closely to tell though, don’t you?  She has a crooked tooth right in the front.  If it’s too late to get some straightening work done, speak to your photographer for tips on beautiful images taken from your best angle! Bright in a sea of white! A big tip for wedding day photos is about colour. If you’re wearing a white dress, your smile may come off as “yellow” if you’re not careful.  If you’re planning on wearing white, off-white or a pale cream, consider having a Zoom Teeth Whitening treatment before your big day.  Best of all, it’s quick because we know that brides don’t have much time!  If money is an issue (who knew a wedding could be SO expensive!) consider asking mum and dad for a dental gift voucher, or check out our easy dental payment plans. Lipstick, Flowers, Teeth, Dress Wedding photo tips are often about colour and your smile is no exception! Your photographer will be keen to get those bold matching colours together.  If you’re planning on a white dress and white teeth, be sure to choose lipstick and flowers that also match perfectly (or compliment beautifully).  Wedding photos tend to be about black suits and white dresses so every colour will leap from the image. Smile even though your feet hurt Yes, you’ll be photographed for at least an hour.  During that hour, your feet will hurt, you’ll be thirsty, it’s Brisbane so you’ll be hot…. meanwhile, your guests will be drinking champers and talking about how beautiful you are.  You might be dying to get back to the party and celebrate your future together.  To make the process easier, carry water, lipstick, powder, a fold out fan and even some band-aids with you.  When the photographer says smile, think about your fabulous future together, not the pain in your toes! Smile from the heart If you’ve got wonky or discoloured teeth, you might find yourself covering your face when you smile.  You may even feel like your smile could ruin your...

Don’t set your kids up for dental fear – choose the gentle dentist in Brisbane! Healthy teeth are essential for your child’s overall wellbeing and growth.  We’ll help your child develop healthy tooth care habits that will stay with them for a lifetime.  Healthy teeth don’t just look great, they help your little one to speak clearly, chew correctly and have positive social experiences.  We want what’s best for your kids, just like you do.  We’re Brisbane’s gentle children’s dentists and we’re all about helping your child grow into a healthy adult! Your Child’s first visit to the dentist! The team at Robert Duhig Dental in Sandgate are here to make children feel comfortable and relaxed during their visit.  The ideal time for a child’s first visit is before their first birthday.  We’ll not only help them feel at home at the dentist but we can also detect any issues early.  We recommend another visit to the dentist around 3 to 3.5 years old.  Like adults, kids should have a dental check-up twice a year.  We can also help avoid costly dental procedures in their teens by keeping an eye on potential problems with their adult teeth long before the tooth fairy starts visiting! We recommend bringing your child along to your own dental appointments to help: familiarise them with your dentist and hygienist them see what happens in a dental appointment show them there’s nothing to be scared about! Typically, your child’s first visit to Robert Duhig Dental will involve a quick play in the reception area followed by an adventure in the moving chair with the crazy water machine.  Not even kidding.  Rob gets himself sprayed by excited kids far too often!  Little kids love “a ride in the chair” and Rob and the team do our very best to help kids have a positive experience.  We encourage parents to bring their children early, as you don’t want your child’s first-ever dentist visit to involve dental procedures.  A fun check-up, with a little play and an introduction to the team is the perfect way to start a positive life-long attitude to dental health.  We’ll make your child feel right at home. What will your child learn on their first dental visit? We’ll spend time with you and your child discussing toothbrush skills and food choices that prevent tooth decay. We’ll review your child’s medical and dental history and if possible, we’ll count and examine their teeth. Our biggest aim is to...
