✨Composite Bonding by Dr Ciara Sutherland ✨

A small change can make a big difference! In this case, Dr Ciara used white filling material (composite) to enhance the shape and appearance of the canine tooth, creating a more even, natural-looking smile.

No drilling, no damage — just a quick, minimally invasive treatment with instant results. 🦷

🦷 Did you know? Diabetes and dental health are closely connected! 🩸

If you have diabetes, keeping your blood sugar under control is not only important for your overall health but also for your mouth. High blood sugar can increase your risk of gum disease, dry mouth, and infections in your mouth.

Here’s how diabetes can impact your dental health:

- Higher chance of gum inflammation and infection

- Slower healing after dental procedures

- Increased risk of cavities due to dry mouth

- More frequent infections like thrush

💡 Tips to protect your mouth if you have diabetes:

- Maintain good blood sugar control

- Brush twice daily and floss regularly

- Visit your dentist at least twice a year

- Stay hydrated and avoid sugary drinks

Your mouth is a window to your overall health — take care of it! 😁✨
