Located on a lovely, quiet street in the heart of Chelsea, the Chelsea Green Dental Practice offers a welcoming and professional atmosphere from the moment you step in the door. The dentist in Chelsea was founded in 2017 by Dr Anna Maciag, who has many years’ experience in dentistry and is a Consultant in Oral Surgery with a special expertise in dental implants.

The beautiful dental practice that we see today is the result of a year-long project undertaken by Dr Maciag to convert a rundown, empty Georgian town into an elegant dental practice.

The team at the practice have been hand selected to be the most welcoming and friendliest of people who are also highly respected in their fields. This team includes general dentists and specialists. The aim is to provide the best standards possible in modern dentistry with both general dentistry care and complex specialist procedures all available under the same roof. The patients are the centre of all the decisions made and every patient’s journey is individually tailored to them and their needs.

Teeth are a massive factor in a person’s first impression and according to surveys conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry 48% of adults think a smile is the most memorable feature after they meet someone for the first time. If that smile is attractive, then the first impression is positive and in fact those people with stained or crooked teeth were viewed as less attractive and even less confident than those with ‘perfect’ teeth.

In today’s dental market, there are many things that can be done to change a person’s smile and make them feel more confident in return. A great option for missing teeth is dental implants or a less invasive fix is teeth whitening. Below we explore these options a little further.

Teeth Whitening

At Chelsea Green Dental Practice, they offer both at-home teeth whitening or in-surgery teeth whitening or often advise a bit of both, depending on the teeth shade that is desired by the patient. In-surgery options include Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed or Enlighten. They are both fast working and easy ways to whiten your teeth. The process is to apply the whitening gel to the teeth, being careful not to get it on the gums and using a special activated light to whiten them to the desired shade. The process usually takes around an hour so is great when time is a concern for the patient.

At-home teeth whitening involves having custom-built teeth trays made, which fit perfectly on your teeth and this means the activator will not spread onto your gums, which can be the cause of tooth sensitivity. The teeth whitening process involves wearing the gel-filled trays daily for an hour at a time for approximately two weeks.

Dental Implants

These are often seen as the best solution for missing teeth. One of the reasons for this is that dental implants are the closest thing to your own natural teeth.  Not having all your teeth can not only affect your confidence but it also affects your bite, how you chew, what foods you can eat and even the way you speak sometimes. Having missing teeth replaced can help with all these issues.

The dental implants are tiny screws made from titanium, which is a substance easily accepted by the body. Using a local anaesthetic, the implants are inserted into the jawbone and then left to heal for around 10 weeks. In this time, the implants have fused with the bone and then a crown can be fitted, which emerges from the gum and looks like your missing tooth. The crown can be colour matched with the surrounding teeth, so it doesn’t look out of place.

If you would like to find out more about teeth whitening, dental implants or any of the other treatments on offer at Chelsea Green Dental Practice. Or would like to join a friendly and professional dental practice in the heart of Chelsea please get in touch on 020 3947 8255.

Langdon Hills Dental Care prides itself on providing a high-quality dental service. Situated in High Road in Langdon Hills, Basildon, it offers a warm welcome in a friendly and relaxing environment.

Its team of experienced and professional dentists, dental hygienists and dental nurses is dedicated to providing the very best of dental care. The respected Basildon dental team make it a priority to treat all of its patients as they would like to be treated themselves.

Langdon Hills provides a full range of dental procedures from a basic check-up and hygiene treatment to advanced procedures using the latest in dental techniques including dental implants, tooth whitening, smile makeovers, teeth straightening, crowns and bridges.

Six Month Smiles

If you are looking to improve your smile then Langdon Hills is a leading dentist in Basildon providing orthodontic and teeth straightening procedures. If you feel self-conscious when you smile because of mis-aligned teeth then Six Month Smiles offers a fast and economical solution.

Langdon Hills Dental Care is a dentist in Basildon that is a recognised provider of Six Month Smiles, a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that helps patients to smile with confidence.

How it works

Six Month Smiles uses the latest in orthodontic technology to bring about pain-free tooth movement using braces and wires that are discreet and not anything like standard metal braces.

Once treatment is complete it is necessary to wear a retainer to maintain the position of the teeth but if you don’t want to war a retainer a bonded retainer placed behind the teeth is an alternative solution.

Most patients achieve the desired result in just six months but treatment time can range from 4-9 months. It’s a great way to have straight teeth and the smile you always wanted in an affordable way. An initial consultation at Langdon Hills is free and you can book an appointment by phoning the Basildon dentist’s reception on 01268-414774. A 5% discount is on offer if the total balance is made before the start of treatment. Langdon Hills also offer interest free finance.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth discolour over time and as we get older toothpaste alone is not enough to remove stains caused by red wine, tea, coffee and cola. Teeth whitening is a safe procedure and one method is through a whitening gel placed in custom made dental trays that are worn either at night or during the day.

Dentists at Langdon Hills will recommend the best method for each individual patient following an examination as well as further information on the various types of tooth whitening procedures

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover can transform your smile and give you a real confidence boost. After an initial consultation with one of Basildon’s Langdon Hills expert dentists an individual treatment plan will be created. The plan will be put together following a series of photographs, any necessary X-rays and impressions.

The treatment plan will be discussed at a second appointment and patients are given an estimate for consideration and approval before the start of the Smile Makeover.

It could feature replacing discoloured crowns, whitening teeth or replacing missing teeth. Consultations start from £75.

NW London Smile Centre is a group of three well-established dentists in Swiss Cottage, Kilburn and Cricklewood. All three dental practices in London provide fantastic dental care and they have become a vital part of their local communities over the last 20 years.

The main aim of the practices is to have satisfied and happy returning patients who can enjoy healthy teeth and gums. The practices are friendly and relaxed, yet professional and offer state of the art equipment so their patients know they are in safe hands.

To NW London Smile Centre, every patient is unique and this is how you will always be treated. They will listen to your specific needs or wishes and plan your treatment plan to suit your lifestyle.

All the practices offer general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics and using the latest in computer imaging technology, they can work out the best cosmetic dental solutions for you. It is possible to show you potential results of how your teeth will look following treatment, which allows you to choose your ideal smile.

Do you have a missing tooth or teeth?

If the answer is yes, then maybe it’s time to do something about it. Not only can losing a tooth or teeth knock your confidence, it can also cause problems with your mouth and bite. This is because the teeth surrounding the gap have lost their natural support and can therefore shift and move into the gap, causing problems.

Dental implants are a great solution for missing teeth. They are safe and are perhaps the closest thing you are going to get to your real teeth.

A titanium post is planted into the jawbone and supports a replacement tooth. Titanium is easily accepted by the body and this post acts just as a natural tooth root would. The dental implant treatment usually has two stages. The first stage is the post being placed and then once the jaw has healed, usually after a few months, the replacement tooth or teeth are attached to the dental implant.

If you care for the dental implants, they can last for many years and they are as strong and durable as natural teeth. This means you can eat and chew with confidence and are able to eat whatever foods you wish.

Orthodontics - Invisalign

Adult orthodontics has become big business of late, with more and more people realising their dreams of the perfect smile. You may have heard about the new ‘invisible brace’ and wondered what they are. Well, they are clear aligners, which can be worn over the teeth to gently move the teeth into the desired position.

Invisalign is one such ‘invisible brace’ brand and you can now get Invisalign at NW London Smile Centre. Because it is nearly invisible, people can hardly tell you are wearing braces. They also have the added benefit of being able to be removed when you are eating or if you don’t want to wear them for a particular special occasion.

Overall the aligners should be worn for around 22 hours per day for the braces to take effect and move the teeth. The aligners will be perfectly fitted to your teeth and gums and a new set will be required every few weeks to move the teeth to where they should be.

Invisalign can take between nine to eighteen months to work its magic depending on what work it needs to do.

If you are interested in any of the treatments above or any other dental treatments available at NW London Smile Centre, you can find out more on their Facebook page or contact the practice nearest to you.

People often say it is hard to find a dentist you like in London. You want a convenient London Dentist, which provides friendly and professional dental care in an inviting and caring environment. This is the ethos behind Smilepod. All of their 6 centrally located dental practices are within 5 minutes of a tube station. They understand that Londoners are busy and don’t want to miss work to see the dentist, so they offer Saturday and evening appointments in addition to the usual working day.

The modern central London studios provide walk-in dental appointments for teeth cleaning and treatments. These include dental veneers, dental implants and endodontics. These dental treatments run alongside a full range of cosmetic treatments, including anti-ageing treatments, facial dermal fillers, facial rejuvenation and lip enhancers.

Below, we focus on some of the dental treatments on offer, including dental veneers, dental implants and endodontics.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are a great choice if you have any damage to teeth, irregularly shaped teeth or small gaps or discolouration. They are often fitted to the front upper and lower teeth. They provide a smooth and fault free smile. Dental veneers are very thin porcelain or composite material and as well as improving your smile, they protect an affected tooth from incurring further damage. The treatment is minimally invasive and is very natural-looking as they can be colour matched to your natural teeth.

Dental implants

If you have missing teeth or a missing tooth, dental implants are a fantastic long-term solution. They stay firmly in place once fitted and will not move around as some ill-fitting dentures can. They eliminate chewing issues and speech problems, which can really affect a person’s confidence. They can also help protect the jawbone by keeping it stimulated and they prevent the existing teeth from moving around.

Small titanium posts are surgically fitted into the jawbone. The titanium is very durable and is well tolerated by the body. These cylindrical posts fuse together with the jawbone over several months, which provides a very strong foundation for the replacement crown or bridge to be fitted.

Endodontics

All endodontists are dentists, but only a small percentage of dentists are endodontists. This means they have studied further in medical school and have specialised in the inner pulp of the teeth. They are able to diagnose tooth pain and can perform root canal treatment and other procedures concerned with the interior of the teeth.

Often a diseased tooth can be saved with endodontic treatment and for this very fact, many endodontists would refer to themselves as specialists in saving teeth. If you are suffering from tooth pain, come in to see Dr Daiva Pitkauskiene, the Endodontics specialist at Smilepod.

All of these treatments are available at Smilepod and if you would like to find out more information, please call 020 7836 6866 or visit their Facebook page. The dental practices can also often offer same day emergency dentist appointments for immediate pain relief, routine dental examinations or cosmetic consultations to help you achieve your perfect smile.

Tracey Bell Dental and Aesthetic Medical Clinic has several clinics based in the Isle of Man and Liverpool. The award-winning clinics offer a tailor-made approach and packages as they feel everyone is an individual and should be treated accordingly. The philosophy is to bring health and wellbeing to their clients and to reveal the natural beauty within.

The clinics provide an entire range of routine dental care alongside advanced dental care, such as dental implants, orthodontics, endodontics, CT scanning and restorative dentistry.

This dental offering runs alongside the aesthetic medical clinics, which offer a full medical laser service, including hair, tattoo and vein removal. Other treatments include dermal fillers, Botox, facial volumisers and dermabrasion and chemical peels, which can tighten the skin. All the treatments are used to effectively fight back against the signs of aging.

Below we will explore some of the treatments the Tracey Bell Dental and Aesthetic Medical Clinic has to offer and these include Invisalign and CoolScuplting.

CoolSculpting

Cool Sculpting in basic terms is the process of freezing off fat and is a leading non-surgical fat reduction treatment. It uses controlled cooling to eliminate those stubborn fat areas that are just too hard to shift, even when doing exercise and eating a healthy diet. There are no needles and no surgery, it eliminates fat cells and has minimal recovery time, which is why CoolSculpting is now becoming such a popular choice.

The treatment is now available in over 74 countries and over 5 million treatment cycles have been carried out. The cool sculpting specialists have to undergo in-depth training and the Cool Sculpting systems include built in safety measures such as sensors, which signify if the skin is getting too cold and if detected, will shut down the system automatically.

Usually, people will see a reduction of fat in the treated are after one visit. You can lose even more with additional appointments if the patient or doctor feel it is necessary. The fat cells are naturally eliminated from your body over the following months, which in turn can make you feel more comfortable in your clothes and your skin. If you would like a free CoolSculpting guide, please click here to order one.

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the most popular treatments at Tracey Bell. Invisalign is a revolutionary teeth straightening treatment, which can be used to treat children’s, teens or adult teeth. It involves the patient wearing a series of clear, specially made invisible teeth aligners.

Each aligner is tailor made to the patient and gently moves the teeth to the desired position over a period of months. The results of the teeth straightening is determined before treatment begins and the use of 3D technology allows your results to be viewed immediately.

 The clear aligners are virtually impossible to detect and can be removed for brushing and flossing and eating. They should be worn for approximately 22 hours a day for the best results to be achieved.

Tracey Bell Liverpool and Isle of Man are proud to be a Platinum Practitioner of Invisalign, so you couldn’t be in safer hands. If you would like to find out further information about Invisalign or CoolSculpting, please contact the clinic on the contacts details provided.

Dr Nial Hutchinson and his wife Miriam have many years of experience in running and owning dental practices and are now running Cherrytree Dental Care, a dentist in Wantage, South Oxfordshire.

They were finalists in the Private Dentistry Awards 2017. The practice offers a full range of dental care from simple to more complex treatments. All of which are based on up to date solutions and treatments based on evidence based dentistry.

At Cherrytree Dental Care, the emphasis is on prevention as they believe prevention is better than cure. The team, including the hygienist and dentist, work together to provide optimal dental health for patients.

They also offer services such as ‘Same Day Teeth’ by utilising the in-house CEREC system, alongside cosmetic dental treatments, such as teeth whitening, teeth straightening (orthodontics) and ‘Smile Makeovers.’ Below we explore these treatments further:-

Cerec System

The practice has been using CEREC for some time now and is one of the few dentists in the UK who is using the latest, up to date, OmniCam version of CEREC. The system allows the machine to scan the tooth and mouth and transfer this image to a computer attached to a milling machine. This means a very exact inlay, onlay or full crown can be made and fitted in one single visit.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a great way to enhance your smile. The Whitewash system is used by the dental practice, which has the active ingredient of hydrogen peroxide, which whitens teeth but is safe to use. You need to visit the practice for an assessment and then custom-made trays will be provided for you to apply the whitening gel. The treatment usually shows results within 5-10 days if the gel is applied overnight or for a few hours each day.

Teeth Straightening

Teeth straightening was once seen only for children, but there are many treatments available these days, which can be used by adults and children alike. CFast, for example, is a short-term adult orthodontic treatment, which uses tooth coloured wires and brackets to straighten and align the front six teeth. Treatment time is typically anywhere from five to nine months.

If you are interested in any of the above treatments or would like further information, the practice is currently accepting new, private patients. If you would like find out more or register, please click here.

Pembroke Dental in the heart of Dublin’s Ballsbridge prides itself on its dynamic, state-of-the art practice dedicated to providing healthy teeth and a great smile.

The practice is situated in a central position opposite The American Embassy and provides premium dentistry in a contemporary and relaxed environment that puts patients at their ease as soon as they walk through the door.

The dedicated dental team led by principal dentist Dr David Keenan features dentists, hygienists, and specialists across general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry providing teeth whitening and straightening, facial aesthetics, oral surgery and dental implants.

A whiter smile is one of the most effective and quickest ways to improve your appearance. Stains build up on the teeth with age, smoking and popular food and drinks we all love such as coffee, tea, cola and red wine. Certain medications such as antibiotics can also cause darker stains.

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular dental procedures and it’s a great way to give you a boost and feel more confident.

Pembroke dental uses Phillips Zoom that is a  fast and efficient way of taking your teeth up to six shades lighter in under an hour with little or no sensitivity. Bespoke moulds are made following an initial appointment to make sure that teeth and gums are suitable for the treatment. The custom-made trays can be used at home for top-ups when needed.

Invisible Braces

If you have always wanted a perfect, straight smile but don’t want to stand out in the crowd and let everyone know w`ith a visible fixed metal brace then you can take advantage of a revolutionary new way to straighten your teeth using an invisible brace.

The system used a series of clear aligners which are moulded to fit your mouth perfectly and gradually apply pressure to your teeth to reposition them over time.

Invisible braces are now leading the way in cosmetic dentistry solutions for a better smile. The brace is sometimes called Invisalign or Clearstep.

The see-through aligners will gradually shift the position of your teeth over a period of three or four weeks. This is followed by a new set of aligners until over weeks or months your teeth straighten into their ideal position.

You will need to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours each day and remove them for eating, brushing and flossing.

Retainers

Once you have achieved the smile you always wanted it’s important to maintain the position of the newly aligned teeth with either a fixed or removable retainer. Essix retainers are removable retainers are made of transparent plastic and moulded to the shape of your mouth. The retainer is usually worn at night for nine months to a year. Eventually it need only be worn once or twice a week.

A fixed or bonded retainer uses a thin metal wire to keep the teeth in place and only takes a few minutes. One advantage is they are invisible to others as they are positioned on the inside surfaces of your teeth. A further reason to consider them is it removes the need to remember to use a standard retainer.

Dental Implants

Pembroke Dental Ballsbridge believe everyone deserves a beautiful smile and if you have gaps in your teeth a more permanent solution can be found in dental implants.  The jaw bone needs to be strong and healthy for the procedure and so initial tests are carried out at the practice. If there is not enough bone to support an implant then a bone graft may be needed before placing implants.

 Facial Aesthetics

Pembroke Dental Ballsbridge in Dublin offers a professional service in Facial Aesthetics with first-class results to achieve the desired result of reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Associate dentist Dr Chloe Kelly has trained with the Visage Academy in London and is qualified in the use of wrinkle removal treatments and facial fillers.

Dental marketing is a process to promote your dental practice; ultimately resulting in your dental practice attracting more new patients as well as keeping hold of your existing ones.

Marketing is key to growing any business and for making that business thrive. Here we look at some of the specifics of dental marketing and offer tips to help you get ahead of the game in dental marketing.

If you want further information on any of these marketing aspects, Dental Design can tell you more and get to work on these on your behalf, just give us a call on 01202 677 277:-

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

Dentists heavily rely on local business, rather than national business, therefore getting involved in your local community and local events is key in promoting your dental services. Maybe you could sponsor a local sports team and provide t-shirts with your logo on the back of them, for example.

Attend local events or festivals and get yourself known in your local community. Other options may be to go into your local school and present a talk about good oral healthcare as we all know that starting young with oral health education is essential.

LEAFLET DROP

Sometimes seen as outdated, but the good old leaflet drop can be effective for dental practices. This is because it is 100% hitting your local target audience. It is advertising a local business for local people. The most effective leaflet would probably include a special offer, such as teeth whitening, or you could include a dental implants offer in an area with a higher ageing population.

HAVE A WELL-DESIGNED WEBSITE

Having a well-designed website with clear ‘calls to action’ is essential. With people being increasingly short of time and wanting ever faster and more efficient technology, the site needs to be easy to navigate and the user must be able to see the telephone number, email and contact form pretty much straight away.

At Dental Design, we design websites that immediately let the user know they are in the right place. They demonstrate clear headlines and well written, straight forward information, which is designed in-line with the specific dental practice and meets their aims and objectives.

MAKE YOUR WEBSITE MOBILE FRIENDLY

According to official Google statements, over 50% of search queries globally are being made on mobiles rather than desktop computers. It is vital in this day and age that your website is mobile friendly.

If your site is not mobile friendly it often loses information on the screen or can’t be seen properly. Plus, if your site is not optimised for mobile use it could take longer to load, which could result in you losing potential patients.

FOCUS ON LOCAL SEO

Search engine optimisation is essential in increasing your website’s visibility in online searches. Without SEO your site will find it hard to stay in the top spot and it will fail to show up for those keywords you want to rank for.

Local keywords such as ‘dentist Cambridge’ or ‘Best Cambridge orthodontist’ are the keywords that will bring you new patients through the door. After all, it isn’t helpful if someone based in London finds your site if your practice is located in Cambridge.

Local SEO helps to attract your target audience and is also great if people use a voice search option like Siri or Alexa asking for a local ‘dentist near me’. We have several ongoing SEO packages to choose from if you want expert help with your SEO.

CONTENT MARKETING

If possible, include content on your website such as blog posts or FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). Blog posts can bring visitors to your site and allows you to build a relationship with the user, which could ultimately result in them turning into a new patient. After all, you would rather visit a dentist that seems to be knowledgeable on the latest treatment techniques and technologies.

Fresh content on your site is also a factor in helping your site to rank higher on Google. However, it is important to have the resources to maintain the blogs as it doesn’t look too good if the blog post was posted over a year ago with no further activity.

PAY PER CLICK (PPC)

PPC is the most targeted online marketing channel and is great for new practices who are just starting up. It has a quick return on investment, so if increasing your patient numbers is one of your major goals, then PPC could be right for you.

PPC allows you to target more than one area, so if you are a practice in a large city or are located between locations this could be very beneficial. It is important to write creative adverts that include obvious ‘call to actions’ promotions and special offers are good to use as these will encourage the user to ‘click’ and visit your website.

Maximum daily budgets can be set to help spread the costs over the month as well as maximum costs per click so that you don’t overspend on a particular keyword.

Dental Design offers reports with all the stats you need to monitor your ad campaigns. We have the expertise and experience in creating and running successful PPC campaigns for dentists and the team here are Qualified in Google AdWords so they can always maintain PPC Best Practice.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Social media, such as Facebook is great if you want to grow your dental practice. It can help increase new visitors as well as maintaining return visitors. When done correctly, it is a medium, which keeps the conversation alive with its patients.

The key is to post interesting and engaging information and articles on your social channels. You are increasing the trust of your brand, which in turn encourages return custom. We offer either social media training for your team or a fully managed social media service here to help you keep on top in the social world.

REMARKETING CAMPAIGNS

Remarketing is the process of reaching out to existing patients that you already have a connection with and trying to get them to do something specific. This could be to book their 6 month check-up or could even be used to promote new treatments now available in the practice.

APPOINTMENT REMINDERS

Marketing isn’t just about attracting new patients or customers, it is also about maintaining your customer base. Sending appointment reminders or reminders for them to book a 6 month check-up is a good re-engagement method. Emails and text messages are probably the best methods.

NEWSLETTERS

Another form of remarketing could be to use newsletters to be sent to existing patients. These could be blogs delivered straight to an in-box but the key is not to send them too often as they will more than likely get deleted.

It is also important not to make them too wordy. Snippets, useful facts and top tips are always a good start. Make them topics of interest to the patient about the latest dental treatments or new dental technologies, for example.

REFER A FRIEND BONUSES

Bonuses for friend referrals are a great way to attract new patients. You could create a recommend a friend bonus of £10 off their first dental appointment if they sign up to the practice.

A further £10 discount could be given to the friend that recommended them, which could help maintain your existing patient list. You could also consider referral bonuses for specific treatments if you were hoping to promote a specific treatment such as teeth whitening or Invisalign.

GET INTO THE MINDSET OF YOUR PATIENTS

If you can think like the patients you would like to attract to your practice, then you will have a better chance of attracting them. Think about which local events they are likely to attend. Think about the keywords and search terms they might use to search the internet and make sure that these appear in the text on your website or in your PPC campaign.

In short, use the knowledge you have of your existing patients to maintain your patient base and think like those patients you would like to attract in the future.

The team will ensure that your time spent at the dental practice is as comfortable and stress free as possible.

Crowns, Bridges, Inlays or Onlays

Do you have missing teeth? Or large, deep holes in your teeth or discolouration?  If the answer is yes to any of these, you may need a crown, bridge, inlay or onlay to resolve the issue.

Crowns are a cap or cover for a tooth. They are often used when a tooth is discoloured or broken or if it is heavily filled or if the filling has been lost. A crown is also fitted following root canal treatment.

Bridges are a ceramic structure, which are used to span the gap left by missing teeth or an extracted tooth. A ceramic tooth is fused between the porcelain crowns either side of the missing tooth. These act as anchors and then a bridge is bonded securely over these teeth.

Inlays and onlays are used when a hole is very wide or deep within the tooth. The inlay fits inside the tooth and appears like a normal filling. An onlay covers part of the top of the tooth and also fills the hole.

Endodontics – Root Canal Treatment

If you require root canal treatment, it usually takes around three appointments to complete, not including the fitting of the crown. Root Canal Treatment is a clever process, where the small area in the centre of the tooth can be cleaned out and disinfected and then sealed with a crown. This will allow a patient to keep the tooth, even though the nerve in the tooth is dead or dying.

Tailored Service

There are no one size fits all solutions at the practice and you will be treated as an individual. The team will offer the finest level of consultation and will spend time finding out what matters most to you and customising your treatments to suit your individual needs.

If you are interested in finding out more about any of the aforementioned treatments or would like to find out about joining the dental practice, or about any promotional offers they are running, please see them on Facebook.

We all know sugar is a big no-no when it comes to dental health but how exactly does it go about doing all that damage to our teeth? In fact it’s not actually the sugar on its own that is so destructive, it’s the acid that is produced when bacteria and sugar come together that goes on to wreak all that havoc.

Acid mouth party

Your mouth is jam packed with bacteria that combines with food particles and saliva to form plaque. The bacteria in plaque turns sugary food and drinks into energy and produces harmful acid at the same time. If there is a build-up of plaque, the resulting acid can begin to break down the outer surface of your tooth and eventually enter and damage the inner part of the tooth. That’s why it is so important to keep your teeth clean as this can remove this regularly developing plaque.

Banish plaque 

If plaque is not removed, it will start to soften the enamel by removing minerals from the tooth and if this goes on for any length of time, a small hole will develop. These are cavities and once formed in the enamel, the plaque and bacteria can sneak into the dentine, which is softer than the hard outer layer of the tooth and so the decay process speeds up.

If decay is not treated, it can enter the pulp which is when it all gets a bit painful because this pulp is packed full of nerves and blood vessels. Bacteria can also infect the pulp and cause an abscess.

As well as too much of the sweet stuff (and starchy foods too), there are a number of other factors that can increase your risk of tooth decay including:

Neglected teeth – go on keep ‘em clean and don’t forget to clean between your teeth with floss or an interdental brush. Try using mouth wash too to rinse away all that destructive debris.

Don’t puff your teeth away – think twice before you light up because as well as being a contributory factor for a whole host of diseases, smoking can also lead to gum disease. This is because smokers are more likely to produce bacterial plaque. Also a lack of oxygen in the blood can mean that infected gums don’t heal.

All dried out – as your mouth needs plenty of saliva to stay in tip top health, if you have a condition that leads to a dry mouth such as diabetes, blocked salivary glands or lupus, it can mean that you mouth isn’t kept sufficiently clean and harmful acids are not neutralised.
