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.

We’re helping to protect our patients and staff with DentAir, which offers the highest levels of air purification for our dental practice.  Reaching over 99.99% sterilisaiton rate, the DentAir system draws in and filters out harmful bacteria, viruses and volatile organic compounds, to disperse cleaner, safer air, quickly and quietly.

If you have perused Instagram lately, you’ll no doubt have spotted your favourite ‘grammers covered in a dark peel-off face mask (beauty, not Covid) or indulging in an ice-cream or smoothie with a dark dust makeover. Activated charcoal is the latest health trend that has taken the internet and wellness industry by storm and can even be found in lip balms, deodorants and of course, toothpastes.

Summer has finally arrived and as we’re all still spending a lot of time at home, in the garden or picnicking in parks, we may be more inclined to let healthy food choices slip slightly and reach for the ice-lollies and cocktails to try and compensate for the lack of summer holidays this year. Now, we would never dream of telling you not to enjoy summer treats (especially this year!), just try to be conscious of your choice of snack and give these sugar swaps a try instead.

We are pleased to inform you that we reopened for emergency services on the 11th of June. We are currently booking those patients who contacted us during lockdown with a dental emergency. Following this we will be in touch to rebook the cancelled appointment during our closure. We hope to resume routine dental services soon.

We are pleased to tell you that we are working towards a phased re-opening of our service from mid-June.

It’s a difficult time for everyone at the moment and we realise that not everybody who needs dental care will be able to receive it. Even though our doors are currently closed due to the current pandemic, we’re still here to help.
