🦷 Did you know?

Unlike other parts of the body, your teeth can’t fully repair themselves. While enamel cannot heal at all, dentine (the layer beneath) has a very limited ability to repair, but not enough to fix significant damage like cavities or cracks.

This is why early care and regular check-ups are so important. Brushing, flossing, and visiting us regularly help protect your smile and prevent small problems from becoming bigger ones.

Your teeth work hard for you every day. Let’s help them last a lifetime!

🦷 When the Bill Hurts More Than the Drill 😅

Transparency is important to us and this review highlights something we’re all feeling right now, the rising costs across dentistry.
Materials, lab fees, and equipment have all gone up and while we can’t avoid every increase, we’re doing our best to keep our prices as fair and competitive as possible.

We promise:
🦷No unnecessary treatments
🦷Transparent pricing every step of the way
🦷Flexible payment options where we can

While we can’t make a cost-free smile happen, we’ll always aim to ensure we keep smiles affordable.

💙 November is Mouth Cancer Awareness Month 💙

At Hartley Dental Practice, we’re proud to support Mouth Cancer Action Month by raising awareness and encouraging everyone to get routine dental examinations. Your teeth are not the only thing we are checking during an exam but it's important to work together, if you notice anything unusual!

What to look out for:
⚠️ Sores or ulcers in the mouth that don’t heal within 3 weeks
⚠️ Red or white patches on the gums, tongue, or lining of the mouth
⚠️ Lumps or thickening in the cheek, tongue, or neck
⚠️ Unexplained bleeding, pain or tenderness in the mouth or tongue
⚠️ Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or moving the jaw/tongue
⚠️ Numbness in the mouth or lips
⚠️ Persistent bad breath that doesn’t improve with oral hygiene
⚠️ Loose teeth or ill-fitting dentures without a clear cause

💡 Important: Most mouth changes are not cancer, but any persistent or unusual signs should be checked by a dentist or GP . Early detection greatly improves outcomes.

Together, let’s spread the word, because a quick check could save a life. 💙

It’s trick or treat time! 🧛‍♂️
Enjoy your sweets, but don’t let the sugar monsters haunt your teeth tonight! 👾
Make sure everyone brushes before bed . Two minutes of brushing keeps the spooky cavities away. 👻
