Growing, Cooking & Eating

Hi, Heidi here, many of you see me in my role as Practice Manger of Mendelsohn Dental on Royal and this is a major part of my life and has been for the last 4 years.  I love working in the Dental industry alongside my business partner and husband Saul but before this I worked as a teacher specialising in Health and Science.  So Health has always been a major priority in my life.  But what a lot of you don’t know about me is I have a great passion for Growing, Cooking and Eating!

Growing, Cooking and Eating-So what exactly does this all mean?

Growing

I have always loved gardening and from a young age my parents let me have my own garden bed to grow herbs and vegies in.  As soon as Saul and I moved into our current house I proceeded to remove every single plant that was there and replace it with fruit trees, berry bushes and a vegetable and herb garden.  I love spending the early hours of the morning watering and many happy hours on the weekend weeding, planting and just generally spending time in the garden.

 

Cooking

Whether it be cooking for my family of 4 of for larger groups of friends and family I get a lot of pleasure out of seeing people eat the food I have cooked.  I get a lot more pleasure when the food I have cooked includes something I have grown in the garden or preserved.  I enjoy cooking many different types of food whether it be traditional Jewish recipes, Asian influenced cuisines through to deserts.  More recently I have started canning and preserving things like jams, chutneys, spice mixes as well as dehydrating produce from the garden.

 

Eating

At the end of the day if you love growing food and you love cooking you need to also love eating!  I get a lot of pleasure from cooking for my family and providing them with Healthy and nutritious food and I love that my children enjoy doing it with me.

 

So I thought I would start to share some of my journey with you and hopefully along the way you will share in my gardening successes and failures, get some recipe ideas and most of all I would like to share my passion for providing my family with healthy food  whilst still having a bit of fun on the way.

Why choose Invisalign over Braces?

Diving with Sharks in Perth

Diving with Sharks in Perth

I have been diving for many years now and have from time to time come across people who report pain from their teeth while diving. This is usually followed soon after by a Facebook argument of the possible cause culminating in experts (every man and his dog) reporting things such as exploding teeth and jaws

So what is the truth behind the pain felt in teeth during a dive?

The quick and simple explanation is it’s probably just sinus pain referred to the teeth. This is due to how close the teeth are to the sinus. It could also be decay or dodgy fillings, and yes it might be a bubble under the filling expanding and contracting with the changing ambient pressure.

As a rough rule of thumb, if the pain occurs while going down, it’s your sinuses, if it occurs when surfacing, it’s your tooth.

 

So what’s the most likely explanation?

The most likely reason for tooth pain during diving is sinus pain. Everyone’s anatomy is different but in most people the upper teeth in the premolar to molar regions can be very close or commonly even inside the sinuses. This makes people’s ability to localise sinus and tooth pain poor. Just because you feel it in your tooth doesn’t mean it is in your tooth.

The other likely causes;

Air pressure changes in the root canal system or near porous dentine, Ischemia due to inflammation, Ischaemia due to increased intrapulpal pressure from vasodilation and fluid movement, Expansion of intrapulpal gasses produced by inflammation, Hyperaemia due to fluid movement from decompression…

What most of these explanations have in common is the presence of pre-existing pathology. You already had a dodgy tooth, diving just made you notice.

BUT…keep your sinuses clear and equalise often and you will avoid most diving “tooth” pain

This video is from March 18th 2017.  But i though as it is currently diving season it was a good time to share it with you.

Dental Veneers

What are Dental Veneers?

Porcelain Veneers are very thin pieces of specially shaped porcelain matched to the ideal colour and contours for your teeth. They are bonded to your existing tooth surface to improve the appearance of your smile. Dental Veneers can be used to change the shape, colour, spacing, alignment, length, proportion and shape of your teeth helping you achieve the smile you have always wanted.

A Smile is the first thing that you notice about a person and everyone knows how important the first impressions are as they cannot be remade. A lot of people, however, do not like what they see when they look in the mirror and see their teeth and this can be because of a lot of things. However, there is a way to get the smile you have always wanted in a very short period of time.  Using Dental/Porcelain Veneers.  Dr Mendelsohn has a passion for giving people a new Smile and Dental veneers are one way of transforming your smile in a very short time.

Below are some examples of patients who have had veneers at our clinic.
