ADA NSW is the peak body for dentists in NSW and the ACT. From time to time, we are approached by members of the public with questions about oral health care, clinical treatment and dentistry. View our frequently asked questions here.

Establishing good oral hygiene and dietary habits helps you keep your teeth as you get older, preventing tooth decay and gum disease. With poor oral health a contributor to major health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, maintaining good oral health is an essential part of what keeps the whole body healthy.
