What Are Dental Bridges and Implants?
Unless you have had them fitted or know someone who has had them fitted exactly what dental bridges and implants are is a bit of a mystery to most people.
Dental bridges and implants are two different products, but they are both designed to replace missing teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth that is physically connected to adjoining teeth or dental implants.

The Importance of Dental Hygiene
When we are small, dentists, parents and teachers all teach us about the importance of dental hygiene. We are taught to brush our teeth twice a day and to floss for a perfect smile, with the hope of having perfect teeth in adulthood. The good thing about dental hygiene is that it is so easy to do and takes just minutes out of our day, but the importance of it should not be underestimated.

Invest in teeth whitening – and change your life
If you feel that your physical appearance is being blighted by dark-coloured teeth, you could consider having them whitened – or ‘bleached’. Doing this can have many positive effects besides just improving teeth colour, like boosting self-esteem.
Though teeth tend to be brilliantly white during childhood, these teeth often fade in colour throughout adulthood due to teeth mineral structure changes and foodstuff, bacterial pigment and tobacco stains. This is when you should start to consider teeth whitening.

Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Part II
Some of the more advanced causes and solutions to snoring and sleep apnoea can include obesity. Today, many people are overweight. However, there is a big difference in health terms between being overweight and obese. For example those who are obese will generally carry excess fat around their neck and face which can block the airway.
If you think your weight could be the cause of your snoring consult a GP or even a fitness instructor at your local gym who will check your height to weight ratio and inform you of the level of your weight problem.

Snoring And Sleep Apnoea
Snoring and sleep apnoea can be a serious problem which affects thousands of people in the UK. For the snorer, it reduces the oxygen in the blood and, particularly, the brain, which may predispose them to such things as high blood pressure, heart attacks and even strokes.
It also means you don’t get a good, restful night’s sleep which can cause drowsiness or tiredness during the day-a potential danger to yourself and others.
For anyone living in the same household as a snorer, it can be a problem which keeps the whole house awake. In a close relationship, it can cause even bigger problems.

Dentistry is more than just teeth, gums, fillings & false teeth!
Dentistry is more than just teeth, gums, fillings and false teeth!
Your mouth is where many things go both in and out.
1. Eating. Teeth are necessary to chew your food. Chewing increases blood flow (and therefore oxygen) to the brain so living on McDonalds and baked beans isn’t going to do your brain much good. You also need to be able to swallow.

Is your jaw causing your headaches?
It is now known that over 70% of headaches and migraine type headaches are related to the jaw joint and over 70% of those are in women.
Why is it worse in women? Oestrogen is necessary for the production of the lubricant (synovial fluid) in the joints because it affects the availability of magnesium to help in the production. So, when the oestrogen level drops, as it does on a monthly basis-and even more so at menopause-the amount of synovial fluid is reduced. This is why some women take large doses of magnesium for PMT headaches.

Children should know that dentists aren’t scary
People often ask when they should first bring their children to the dentist.
I always say that, ideally, they should come when they are pregnant. There are good reasons for this. The main reason from the mother’s point of view is to maintain a healthy mouth during pregnancy. She also needs hygienist care after the birth of the baby and during lactation.
