Resuming hygienist care at Oakthorpe

Since opening again on the 9th June we have worked as a small team to treat the emergencies accumulated during the lockdown , and also placing into action a set of operational procedures so we can provide a safe environment. These procedures have been continually revised and refined to allow us to now introduce routine treatments and the long-awaited hygienist service.

Healthy Sleep Habits

Do you ever wake up from a night's sleep with sore teeth and jaws? You could be grinding your teeth. This is known as bruxism and is usually done unconsciously in your sleep, but it can also occur when you are awake.

Teeth Grinding

Charging up your electric toothbrush

Batteries should be discharged before recharging but we often find that as the battery runs down electric toothbrushes get slower and slower.

Beware….”No Added sugar”

Beware….”No Added sugar” means there is still sugar! We wanted to bring up this topic as we are asked the following question regularly;

What is tongue scraping?

Debris, bacteria, and dead cells can build up on your tongue over time. This can lead to bad breath and have a negative impact on your overall oral health. Tongue scraping removes this build up.

Anon

I do tell friends about this practice if they ask for a recommendation. I have always found it a lovely peaceful place to visit, and staff are friendly and professional, and so far as I can judge, highly competent. The magazines are good, and current, though you seldom wait long enough to do more than glance at them. It does seem expensive, but then I suppose any high-tech dentist would cost as much (I haven't looked into this because at present I can afford the needs of my teeth, and I like going there...)
