You’ve probably heard of the words ‘plaque’ and ‘tartar’ when you’ve come in to see us (we hope anyway!) and you might know that neither are particularly desirable, but what exactly are they? Arming yourself with the facts can help you care for your teeth.

Please note we are in the process of upgrading our telephone system.

Corrective jaw (orthognathic) surgery corrects and treats imbalances of the jaws, facial bones and teeth, which can often cause a strain when it comes to talking, chewing and other day to day activities.

Those above the age of 25 may have vaguely heard of TikTok pre-2020 but perhaps not well versed in the social media app. However, as we all started to stay at home more, TikTok wasn’t just favoured by the under 25s, but kept many of us company through the various lockdowns of the past year.

We would like to reassure our patients that we will remain open as an essential health service throughout this period.

Smile, we made it to 2021!! And just like that the year from hell is over and although we’re still in the midst of the pandemic it’s never felt better to start a new year, a fresh start, turn over a new leaf and all of the other clichés that are dished out during this time of year. Even though the number one thing on our resolution list for 2021 is to make it through, you also might want to take this opportunity to try to lead a healthier lifestyle so where better than to start with your oral health?

Following the announcement about the second national lockdown from Thursday 5th November, please rest assured that CGDP remains open to provide an essential health service. Your oral health is important and screening for oral diseases including cancer is vital. For more information please follow this link COVID-19 RESPONSE.

It’s the ‘chicken or the egg’ equivalent of the oral health world – should you brush your teeth before or after eating breakfast? This one puzzles many people, is debated by the masses and often divides a room with their differing opinions – ok perhaps that’s only us!

Short answer, yes. Long answer, read ahead.
