Good brushing and flossing at home are essential, but professional hygiene appointments do even more.

They protect against gum disease, freshen your breath, and leave your teeth feeling cleaner.

Our hygienists also provide advice specific to you, helping make your at-home routine even more effective.

It's National Stress Awareness Day! Is stress affecting your smile?

Many people don’t realise that stress can show up in the mouth, too.

Clenching or grinding your teeth, known as bruxism, often happens subconsciously, especially during sleep or moments of tension.

Over time, this can lead to:
βœ”οΈ Jaw pain and stiffness
βœ”οΈ Headaches or earache
βœ”οΈ Worn, chipped, or sensitive teeth

If this sounds familiar, don’t ignore it. There are ways to protect your teeth, relieve pressure, and help you sleep more comfortably.

πŸ’¬ Do you ever notice jaw tension after a stressful day?

Book your Dental Health Examination today and give your smile the care it deserves.

πŸ’™ Early detection saves lives.

November is Mouth Cancer Action Month, a vital reminder to stay aware of the signs and prioritise your oral health.

In the UK, more than 10,000 people are diagnosed with mouth cancer each year. Early detection can make all the difference to your treatment and outcome.

During every Dental Health Examination, we carry out a thorough check of your mouth, tongue, and soft tissue, giving us the chance to spot early signs of concern.

If you notice ulcers that don’t heal, red or white patches, or unusual lumps, please don’t wait. Book an appointment and get them checked.

πŸ’¬ When was your last dental health examination?
πŸ“Œ Save this post as a reminder to book your next visit and help spread awareness this Mouth Cancer Action Month.

Mouthguards do more than protect your teeth. They help prevent jaw injuries, lip damage, and even reduce the risk of concussion during contact sports. πŸ‰

If you or your child takes part in sport, a custom-fitted mouthguard offers comfort, durability and far better protection than an over-the-counter version.

πŸ’¬ Do you or your child currently use a mouthguard for sport?

Book a Dental Health Examination with our team and ask about custom mouthguards to make sure you’re fully protected.

Halloween treats don’t have to be scary for your teeth if you enjoy them the smart way.

Eating sweets with meals (instead of snacking between them) helps limit how long sugar sits on your teeth. Your saliva is more active during meals, too, which helps protect against acid attacks.

And of course, brushing before bed is non-negotiable, especially on sugar-filled days!

When we asked Louise what her favourite part of the job is, she told us she couldn’t choose just one.

She enjoys working alongside her team, supporting them every day, and also values working with patients, helping them feel welcome and cared for from the moment they arrive.

It’s this mix of teamwork and patient care that makes her role so rewarding and keeps the practice running smoothly.

A recent patient told us how supported they felt from start to finish.

A friendly, reassuring welcome from the team at reception set the tone for the visit.

Sam then took time to explain each step clearly, answer questions, and make sure the patient felt comfortable throughout.

That’s exactly the kind of care we want every patient to experience: professional, reassuring, and centred on their needs.
