Her passion for volunteer dental work was inspired by her parents' experiences working as a doctor and nurse in Papua New Guinea. In 2012, an opportunity presented itself when a doctor working next door to her practice approached her. His wife was a Solomon Islander, and her father, the chief of an area, wanted to build a dental clinic with the help of Dr Leung. Without hesitation, Dr Leung packed her bags and headed to the Solomon Islands to provide dental care to remote communities.

Upon arrival, the situation was a bit overwhelming

She flew to Honiara and then to the province, where she was met with a local government official and taken by boat to the area. The boat ride was rough.

The locals had not seen a dentist in over two years. Her anaesthetic supplies ran out by lunchtime on her first day, as people had heard overnight that there was a dentist there, creating a queue of about 20 people outside the house. Despite these challenges, Dr Leung was determined to help, and since then, she has been working tirelessly with the local community to improve oral health.

It's been more than 10 years since Dr Leung's journey began in the Solomon Islands

The impact she has made is truly meaningful. She has built a dental clinic, trained locals to help with education, and worked with schools to educate the community on oral hygiene. She also brought other volunteer dentists to the islands and connected with the local community.

One of the things Dr Leung noticed during her work in the Solomon Islands, is that the younger people in the rural area didn't have much decay, whereas the older folks had some infections and gum disease. When she was working in the capital, she saw a couple of 13-year-olds who needed about 10 or 12 teeth extracted. Unfortunately, they were not fixable, even if they had been in Australia and had all the technology available.

During her time in the capital, Dr Leung also noticed that there were no toothbrushes available for the kids to buy, and that they had no education around how sugar causes decay. This further highlights the importance of not only providing dental care to remote communities, but also education on oral hygiene and preventative measures to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Education was also a priority for Dr Leung

Dr Leung has also made it a priority to work closely with the schools in the area, providing educational materials and workshops on oral hygiene, and the importance of regular dental check-ups. She also made sure to make toothbrushes and toothpaste available to the community, and to provide education on the importance of reducing sugar intake to prevent decay.

Dr Leung's story is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can make. Her selfless acts of kindness have changed the lives of many in the community. Her work in the Solomon Islands is a true example of making a difference in the world. She not only provides dental care, but also educates and empowers the community to take control of their oral health. Her dedication and commitment to the people of the Solomon Islands is truly admirable and inspiring.

We should all strive to make a difference in the world!

Dr Leung’s passion and dedication to helping others is truly admirable and inspiring. She is truly an inspiration, and a shining example of what one person can accomplish when they are committed to making a positive impact in the world.

Introducing the absolutely incredible Dr Som-Ling Leung!

Valentine's Day is often associated with romantic love, but it's important to remember that it's also a time to love and care for yourself, no matter your relationship status.

Oral care and self-love go hand-in-hand for maintaining your overall wellness. Taking care of your teeth and gums is not only important for your physical health, but plays a pivotal role in your mental health and self-esteem. If you’re stuck for ideas on how to love your teeth, we’ve got some handy tips for you.

A mindful oral health routine is a crucial aspect of self-love. It not only ensures the maintenance of good oral health, but it also helps you to really value and take care of yourself. A daily oral health routine includes basic habits such as brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and limiting sugary and acidic foods and drinks. These habits help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, and promote a healthy and attractive smile.

Additionally, incorporating self-care activities into your oral health routine can really help to relax your mind and boost your mood. Perhaps next time while you’re brushing your teeth, take the time to meditate or listen to music to make the experience more pleasant, fun and less of a chore.

Another great way to love your teeth is to visit the dentist regularly. A dentist can help you prevent and treat oral health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease, which can cause pain and discomfort, and even lead to serious health problems if left untreated. Regular check-ups and cleanings can also help you maintain a healthy smile and improve your self-confidence.

In addition to the physical benefits, seeing a dentist can also have mental benefits. For many people, visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety. But, by facing and overcoming this fear, you can show yourself love by taking care of your oral health. Whether it's finding the ‘right’ dentist for you or learning relaxation techniques to use before and during dental appointments, you’re showing yourself that you are worth the investment of time, energy and resources to take care of your oral health.

It’s no secret that yellow or stained smile can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Whitening your teeth (with something like our Home Teeth Whitening Kit) can help you overcome this self-consciousness and help you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.

A bright, white smile can make you feel more attractive and self-assured, while boosting your overall confidence in social settings. When you feel good about your smile, you are more likely to show it off and interact with others in a more positive and confident way. This can lead to better relationships, which can in turn lead to a more fulfilling life.

So whether you’re at a dinner with a special someone or taking yourself out for a nice movie night, there’s never a moment where you can’t look your best!

In addition to these basic oral care habits, it's also important to practice self-love when it comes to developing your oral care routine. This means being kind and compassionate to yourself, even if you have neglected your oral care in the past. Instead of beating yourself up, focus on making positive changes. You can start today by purchasing our new Twin Pack, which comes with 2 x Mosobrushes, 2x Moso Dental Floss and 4 x Zero-Waste Whitening Toothpastes.

Share the love around and gift a spare pack to a loved one, or keep both packs and give your teeth and gums the pampering they deserve.

Learn how to love your teeth this Valentine’s Day.

Love is in the air (and in your oral care)

When you’re waking up bleary-eyed in the morning, it’s easy to skip some pretty important steps in your oral health routine. But it’s worth remembering that healthy teeth and gums are an important investment in your health and well-being.

We’ve done some research on what oral care professionals believe are some key steps of an ideal oral health routine.

You probably wonder why we started off with flossing rather than brushing, right? In our previous article, “Should you brush or floss first?”, we found that it’s flossing that should be done before brushing:

“Dental flossing helps loosen the larger pieces of trapped food, which can then be swept away by your toothbrush bristles”.

If you’re using traditional floss (such as our refillable Moso Dental Floss), wind the floss around your index fingers and gently lower it between your teeth. Follow the natural curve of each tooth. When the floss gets dirty, use a clean section for the next tooth. Be sure to get all the way back to those big pearly molars!

If using a long piece of floss is awkward for you, we totally understand. You can try out our Bio Floss Easy Picks. These picks “hold” the floss for you, making your job a lot easier, especially for those rushed mornings.

Did you know that acid from certain morning foods and beverages (such as orange juice or grape fruit) weakens tooth enamel? When your teeth’s enamel is weakened, brushing too soon can damage your teeth! This is why if you’re the type to brush after breakfast, it’s important to wait at least an hour before you brush.

When brushing teeth, it is recommended to brush for 2 minutes at a time, staying for 30 seconds in each quadrant of your mouth. Brush softly in circular motions, making sure your brush comes into contact with all surfaces of your teeth including the top and sides.

If you’re looking for a new toothbrush for the New Year, try our eco-friendly Mosobrush. With options for soft or medium bristles, as well as a number of fun colours, you’ll find the right one for your morning brushing.

After you’ve thoroughly flossed and brushed your teeth, try using an antibacterial mouthwash. Using mouthwash helps to clear those bits and pieces of toothpaste and food hidden in your mouth, cleaning your entire mouth and keeping your breath minty fresh. It’s always good to pick a flavour you like - it will make you more likely to use it. Follow the instructions on your mouthwash bottle. But generally speaking, you should pour out a capful of mouthwash and swoosh it in your mouth for around 30 seconds.

If flossing and brushing don’t wake you up, a refreshing and thorough mouthwash certainly will!

These are the basic steps of good oral hygiene. But if you want to take it a step further, some dental clinics recommend cleaning your tongue. Like how your bacteria builds up in your teeth, your tongue is no exception. Remove clingy bacteria by scraping your tongue with floss or scrubbing it with the back of your toothbrush. You can even purchase a tongue scraper from your local store or pharmacy. Even though this is not a crucial step in your busy morning, it can make a world of difference in your overall oral health.

And there you have it! A quick yet effective morning oral health routine as recommended by oral health experts online.

Is it Best to Floss Before or After Brushing Your Teeth?

What your Oral Hygiene Routine should consist of

When you’re waking up bleary-eyed in the morning, it’s easy to skip some pretty important steps in your oral health routine. But it’s worth remembering that healthy teeth and gums are an important investment in your health and well-being. We’ve done some research on what oral care professionals believe are some key steps of an ideal oral health routine.  1. First things first: Floss You probably wonder why we started off with flossing rather than brushing, right?

A new year, a new morning oral health routine

Here at Pearlii HQ, we still can’t believe it’s another New Year.

Of course, with the New Year comes classic chats about our New Year’s resolutions. Making resolutions is a great way to reflect on achievements and challenges from the past year, and set out meaningful intentions for the year ahead.

We asked the Pearlii Team what their New Year’s resolutions are, and since we’re all about healthy teeth, we just had to ask about their oral health goals too! Read more to find out.

Claudia (UX researcher who’s trying to become an avid reader and flosser)

This year, I want to be more consistent with doing pilates. I feel like pilates really helps to maintain my core strength and keeps me mentally refreshed. I also received a Kindle for my birthday last year, so I’m really looking forward to reading lots of interesting stories, novels and memoirs this year!

My “oral health” resolution is to get into the habit of flossing most days. After some teeth-related injuries, I’ve wound up at the dentist a few more times than I’d like to in 2022. But thankfully, through chats with the dentist, I got some really good tips on flossing such as purchasing the right floss (no two brands are the same!) and following the natural “curves” of my teeth. I’m really looking forward to implementing my new flossing routine soon.

Color (Designer with a love for self-paced projects and fixing fillings)

Throwback to the end of 2021, my resolution was to overcome my fears. I enrolled in a scuba diving course in Cairns in December, and because of the tight schedule, I only expected myself, at least, to complete the pool training part. Long story short, I spent three days completing the two-day training, and don’t think I will go back to complete the boat diving part anytime soon. Surprisingly, I found myself happier once I made the call.

I wouldn’t say my 2022 goal has failed, but it has helped me make my 2023 New Year’s resolution: Some things are just not my things! I should focus on how I feel at every moment. I’ll keep working on projects that give me some fear, but without rushing myself.

Finally, one resolution for oral care is to fix the fillings as my dentist suggested months ago …. so 2023 is all about feeling & filling. ✌️

Etienne (Developer with a penchant for sporting activities and flossing daily)

For me, my new year’s resolution is to get fitter and play in some kind of sport competition. I’ve already begun by trying a whole bunch of different sports last year, like beach volleyball and badminton. In terms of oral health, I’m aiming to floss every day again.

Fredricia (Marketing wiz and soon-to-be a swimming & flossing wiz)

In general, I want to swim more - at least once a month. For my teeth, I want to FLOSS. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Jhonny (Developer with goals for increasing stamina and decreasing sugar)

For 2023, I want to improve my stamina by doing more exercise and get healthier. I would also like to stop eating sugar and whiten my teeth.

Kylie (Product manager striving to live in the present and looking forward to brighter teeth)

This year, my aim is to live in the moment and be more present. Oral health-wise, I want to whiten my teeth!

Larissa (Designer with a hope to hold handstands and eat less sugar)

In 2023, I want to be able to hold a handstand for 30 seconds. On an oral health-related note, I’d like to eat less sugar - it’s bad for your teeth!

Mark (UX researcher with a passion for music and now, flossing more)

Some of my general New Year’s resolutions are the same as every year: read more, play the guitar more, eat healthy and exercise, meditate more and learn to do new things. For my oral health-related goal: again, the same as every year… floss more.

Miguel (Developer with a love for running and bamboo oral health products)

For the new year, I resolve to consistently go to the gym and to train for a running race. Here's to a healthy and active 2023! My oral health-related goal: Try a bamboo electric toothbrush.

There you have it. From handstands to bamboo toothbrushes, these are the Pearlii Team’s New Year’s resolutions.

We hope that you’ll smash whatever your 2023 New Year’s resolutions are. And if you’re like us and looking for ways to improve your oral health this year, check out our new bundles. We’ve got all the oral care tools you need to help you smash your oral health goals too.

Why subscribing to an oral care routine makes sense

Somehow, it’s the end of the year already…

…and holiday season is so close, we can taste it!

At the Pearlii HQ lunch table, we got talking about what we all had planned for the upcoming break. And we all had different tales to tell.

That’s because we’re a diverse bunch, with many of us coming from all around the world.

From Spain to Taiwan, France, Colombia, Indonesia, New Zealand, the United States, and of course, Australia!

So we sat down with the team and asked everyone what some of their favourite end of year holiday traditions are.

Claudia (half of UX, and the carer in the team)

Coming from the tiny island of Singapore, my family and I didn’t really celebrate Christmas growing up (the Lunar New Year that comes a couple of months after is a bigger festivity there). So when we moved to Australia, I was always a bit sad that I didn’t get presents or a visit from Santa when all my friends at school did!

Now that we’re all older, my family and I celebrate each year by having a big feast with a good ole Christmas ham and putting on some classic tunes (”All I want for Christmas” by Mariah Carey is a banger).

Since moving in with my partner this year, we’re both really excited to put up our first Christmas tree together, having a few bevs and celebrating with our families and friends. 🍗 🍻

Color (our colourful, creative designer, all the way from Taiwan)

My parents separated when I was little, so we don’t really celebrate any holidays. But something I treasure a lot is growing up with cousins, who are all similar in age (age differences are between 1-4 years, with another much younger cousin).

EVERY single one of them knows at least one musical instrument, except me. So a family concert becomes our Lunar New Year’s Eve tradition. It always turns into a jamming session, with keyboard, guitar, vocals, violin, and even double bass. All genres covered, from classical, jazz, country, to pop.

This becomes my favourite memory of the holiday season, because I am the only one not doing any performances! (well, I can perform life drawing if anyone wants to watch…)

Etienne (say bonjour to our favourite French software engineer)

For me, Christmas is really nice for the kids. It was a magical time for me when I was young, and I now enjoy it because my nephews/niece are present. As long as they believe in Santa, we like to dress up like him and surprise them, or leave a bowl of hot chocolate that will ‘magically’ end up empty when we are not around.

But THE most important is the meal of course. We did simplify it though, because the eight course meal we had as kids were too much (prawns, oysters, foie gras, beef, fish, cheese and the Bûche de Noël).

“The Bûche de Noël—or yule log—cake, is a French Christmas tradition that dates back to the 19th century. The cake represents the yule log that families would burn starting on Christmas Eve, symbolising the new year to come and good luck ahead. While no one is positive on exactly how the yule log turned into a cake, we think everyone can agree, it's a delicious tradition we never want to end”.

Fredricia (leading marketing and sales, like a boss)

Before I came to Australia, our family would usually go to Christmas church services on Christmas eve. On Christmas day, I would always wake up to presents under the Christmas tree, that we would always open as a family. Followed by the whole family getting involved in preparing lunch.

We would always have my Dad’s side of the family come to our house for Christmas lunch. Mandatory family pictures around the Christmas tree and in a little corner nook of our house.

Christmas jingles would always be playing in the background and of course a live piano mini concert by my Father.

I am so looking forward to Christmas at home this year!

Jhonny (our friendly Columbian software engineer)

One thing I really miss from my childhood is going to my neighbour’s houses to attend that specific houses ‘novena’, which is a tradition that begins exactly nine days before the 24th of December, and runs every night until Christmas eve. So we visit different houses each night to pray, sing, and eat traditional Colombian Christmas food.

When we do the “novena”, we pray in front of the “pesebre” of the house, which is a small town (some people make it really big) made of basic materials such as paper, paint, glue and small figures of religious characters or animals.

Pesebre - a small town made of basic materials such as paper, paint, glue and small figures of religious characters or animals.

Kylie (our favourite product manager, keeping us all on track)

Christmas has always been very magical time for me, but it is even more special now that I have a toddler. This is the first time she understands the concept and is very excited by all the Christmas lights and decorations.

Santa will visit us on Christmas morning and I can’t wait to see her face when she opens up the ‘Frozen’ electric toothbrush she has been asking for.

Larissa (our dearest design lead, showing us the way)

My family spend Christmas Eve together. We always end the night singing Christmas carols. As the least musical person in my family - the only one who can’t sing or play an instrument - this has always been my most dreaded part of the night! But it wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t do it.

Some of my happiest memories as a kid come from Christmas time.

Christmas eve would come around and the excitement was unbearable. We’d leave out carrots and a bucket of water for any reindeer who might be passing by, and some biscuits and a glass of milk for the big white bearded fella.

The next morning my sister and I would rise with the sparrows, to find glitter sprinkled around the house (or magic dust obviously left by Santa), carrots half eaten, and leftover biscuit crumbs. We’d open a couple of presents from Santa, and then wait around for the ‘cuzzies’ and the rest of the family to come over - at which point we’d all share presents, feast on Dad’s delicious cooking, and enjoy the day together.

Nowadays, as a “adult” and an orphan living in Melbourne, I try to head back to New Zealand for Christmas, where I enjoy watching my young niece and nephews experiencing the same excitement I once did. If I don’t head back, my partner and I will escape Melbourne for a relaxing night far away from all the madness.

Sending a warm thank you to everyone who has supported us this year.

We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, and smash your 2023 goals.

And if you do happen to be looking for gifts for your loved ones this holiday season, we recently released our Pearlii Seasons Greetings cards, and gift cards!

Read what the Pearlii team love doing for their end of year holidays

The Pearlii team’s favourite holiday traditions

The holidays are here and it’s time to start purchasing that special gift for your loved ones! No matter the occasion, a Pearlii gift will make it extra special. Not only will you be delighting your loved ones with eco-friendly oral care products, you will also be helping the vulnerable people and communities receive much needed dental care.

What’s the big problem with dental care?

The lack of access to dental care is sadly still a global health issue. According to the World Health Organisation, it is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people around the world. Oral diseases can make life difficult (imagine feeling pain in your teeth every time you had a crunchy snack!) and even life-threatening in some cases.

Despite having a world-class health-care system, not everyone can afford or conveniently access a dentist in Australia. This is mainly because dental care is not fully covered by the government. As a result, many individuals who cannot afford a private health insurance or expensive dental bills are left on long waiting lists on the public system if they want to see a dentist.

4 in 10 people delay or avoid seeing a dentist because of the cost

1 in 4 children (aged 5 to 10) have untreated decay in their baby teeth

1 in 25 people (aged 15 and over) have no natural teeth left.

Additionally, certain population groups really struggle to access dental care. These include people who are socially disadvantaged or on low incomes (such as refugees and individuals experiencing homelessness), people living in remote areas, and people with specialised health care needs.

This is a real shame because oral health diseases are largely preventable with regular check-ups at the dentist.

So what is the Pearlii Foundation (and what is a “Dental truck”)?

We decided to do something to tackle this issue. Through the Pearlii Foundation, we donate 50% of our profits to community dental projects that will help vulnerable people and communities access dental care.

People living in some states and territories have generally poorer oral health than others. For example, it has been found that the prevalence of cavities in children were significantly higher in the Northern Territory and Queensland than other states and territories.

Dr. Jalal Khan, an ambassador of the Pearlii Foundation, has sought to fix this problem. In 2018, Dr. Khan purchased his very first dental truck, a fully equipped and operational dental clinic on wheels. Since purchasing the dental truck, Dr. Khan has been driving his truck to remote regions in Queensland and NSW so that he can provide dental care to those who need it.

In an interview, Dr. Khan expresses that he finds his work in remote communities in Australia to be extremely fulfilling. By doing this job, he has been able to help individuals who have experienced years of teeth pain, fulfilled a dying man’s last wish to eat his favourite food and helped a young mum living in the outback to conveniently get her fillings done. When asked about a memorable experience, he recounts:

“I once had a patient that was in palliative care in his 70s with only a few months to live. He was really struggling to eat steaks and sausages because of the dental pain he was experiencing in his lower mouth. It was upsetting him because he had only had a few months to live because of a cancer, and all he wanted to do was to “eat a steak”.

In about an hour, I was able to do a few fillings and give his teeth a general clean. This helped to get him up and running for the rest of his days. He was so happy to comfortably be able to eat food for the rest of his days.”

At Pearlii, we’ve made it our mission to help build a whole fleet of Pearlii Dental Trucks. Our Pearlii Dental Truck will provide dental services to even more communities and locations all around Australia, so that many more people can receive the oral care they need. By 2023, we hope to have our first operational Pearlii Dental Truck!

This is why Pearlii products are the perfect gift for your loved ones this Christmas. Not only can you gift someone sustainable oral health products that will help keep their smile healthy and bright, but you are truly giving smiles to others in need.
