-- Just Smile, the Ramsgate Road dental practice serving Ramsgate Beach and the wider Sutherland Shire, is supporting this year's Dental Health Week (3–9 August 2026), which turns the spotlight on the oral health of Australians aged 18 to 25 through the Australian Dental Association's “My Smile” campaign.
For a beachside community built around weekend sport, surf lifesaving and social sport leagues, Just Smile says two of this year's Dental Health Week themes hit particularly close to home for local young adults: sports mouthguards and wisdom teeth.
“Ramsgate Beach and the Shire have such an active, outdoor culture, and we see a lot of sports injuries that could have been avoided with a proper custom-fitted mouthguard,” said Dr Abir Rammo, principal dentist at Just Smile. “A chipped or knocked-out tooth from footy, touch football or surf sport isn't a quick fix — it can mean years of ongoing treatment. It's such a simple thing to prevent.”
The ADA's Dental Health Week materials also highlight wisdom teeth, which typically emerge between the ages of 18 and 25 and can cause pain, crowding or infection if left unmonitored. Dr Rammo says this is an age group Just Smile sees often, particularly young adults who have moved out of home for the first time, whether for study, work or independence, and no longer have a family dentist keeping an eye on things.
“That's really the heart of this year's campaign — young people are moving out, starting jobs, learning to manage their own money, and dental care quietly slips down the list,” Dr Rammo said. “We also know this generation often turns to social media before a professional when something doesn't feel right with their teeth. Our message for Dental Health Week is to come and see us first, before a small issue like an emerging wisdom tooth turns into an infection or emergency.”
Just Smile has built its practice around making that first visit as an independent adult a comfortable one, using laser dentistry and Digital Smile Design technology that the practice says reduces discomfort and gives patients a clear, visual plan before any treatment begins — an approach Dr Rammo says is particularly reassuring for younger patients who may be nervous about dental visits or unsure what a treatment will involve.
The practice, located at Unit 4-160 Ramsgate Road, Ramsgate Beach, also offers a free smile assessment and consultation for new patients, along with same-day crowns and veneers, Invisalign, and children's dentistry, making it a practical option for young adults and families throughout the Sutherland Shire, including nearby Sans Souci, Kogarah and Rockdale.
Dr. Rammo is encouraging young adults working or living in the Ramsgate Beach area to use Dental Health Week as the prompt to book a check-up, particularly those who haven't seen a dentist since finishing school. In conjunction with Dental Health Week, patients are invited to schedule a Check and Clean appointment.
“Dental Health Week is a great prompt for anyone in our area who's been putting off a check-up,” Dr Rammo said. “Whether it's getting a mouthguard sorted before the next sports season or finally getting those wisdom teeth looked at, we'd rather see you now for a five-minute check than in six months for an emergency.”
Just Smile is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, and Thursday from 8:00am to 6:00pm. New and existing patients can book an appointment by calling (02) 9159 3764 or visiting www.justsmile.com.au.
