Leyburn Dental Practice

22/11/2025

The 22nd November marks National Dental Nurse Day – a day to thank and celebrate the important role of dental nurses. Our fantastic dental nurses are critical in delivering the best patient care and keeping Leyburn Dental Practice running smoothly.
Dental nurses play a vital role in ensuring the operation of dental practices. From assisting dentists during procedures to comforting anxious patients, their skills and expertise are invaluable. Their ability to create a warm and welcoming environment helps patients feel at ease, making their dental experience more comfortable.
Their knowledge and attention to detail are crucial in maintaining high standards of infection control and sterilisation. Their commitment to following protocols and guidelines ensures the safety and wellbeing of our patients and staff.
Our nurses definitely go above and beyond their job descriptions with additional roles such as ad hoc maintenance and IT engineering! Dealing with patients’ dental anxieties and managing challenging situations requires patience and empathy.
Their hard work and commitment to excellence make a significant difference and we appreciate all that you do and want you to know that your efforts are recognised and valued.

November is Mouth Cancer Awareness Month. In preparation for Blue Wednesday tomorrow we are sharing a useful video showing how to self check at home for mouth cancer. During examination/oral health check appointments at the practice our clinicians perform these checks. Questions about use of to***co and alcohol are also important to answer as both will increase the risk of developing oral cancer.
If you notice anything abnormal please contact us and we see you outside of your routine appointments.

A Monthly 2 minute check can save your life! Spread Awareness: Record your self check Upload on your social media platforms Use the hashtag and tag...

🚭 It’s Stoptober!

Giving up smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health and your smile. 💙

Smoking doesn’t just affect your lungs and heart, it also increases the risk of:

 ✨ Gum disease

 ✨ Tooth loss

 ✨ Oral cancer

 ✨ Staining and bad breath

We know it’s not easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. 💪

 If you’re thinking about quitting, this October is the perfect time to start and we’re here to support your oral health journey.
