We are feeling festive here at The Red House Dental Practice! And with that festive feeling comes the indulgence in Christmas goodies for a lot of us so it feels appropriate to share some advice to keep your teeth happy over the holiday period.

Everyone has plaque bacteria in their mouth and when this mixes with sugary foods and drinks, sugar acids are produced which can cause tooth decay. That’s why you should limit the amount and number of times you consume sugary snacks or drinks each day.

Treats such as Haribos, Jelly Tots, Jelly Babies, other jelly sweets, raisins and lolly pops are all foods that tend to be consumed over a period of time and not all at once. They can stick in teeth and cause long periods of sugar attacks, increasing the risk of tooth decay. A ‘SAFER’ treat would be to have something that is eaten all in one go for example a small bit of chocolate or a biscuit. These treats are cleared from the mouth a lot quicker.

Lots of drinks contain sugar too. It is always best to stick with water and milk. If a cordial is drank, then making up a sugar free drink very weakly would be advised. Cordials (even sugar free) can be highly acidic, adding to the risk of tooth wear and loss of enamel.

As well as keeping the volumes of treats down, it is best to keep our sugary treats to meal time too. Doing this reduces the frequency and number of sugar attacks on the teeth. Choose things like fruit, vegetable sticks, plain rice cakes or even a slice of wholemeal toast at snack times are healthier snack options.
Remember… by making these swaps you can help improve your dental health and help preserve the special gift of our teeth for many years to come!!

Should you have any problems over the holiday period, we are always here and happy to help.

This Monday afternoon we had the pleasure of being joined by Jenny Nixon, a Dentisan representative, to complete training on one of the largest and most relevant areas of dentistry... infection control.
Infection control refers to the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases between patients, dental staff, and the environment. We covered hand hygiene and PPE (personal protective equipment), sterilization and disinfection of instruments and clinical environments, proper handling and disposal of waste in the dental practice, and much more.
All of the team here at The Red House Dental Practice take these matters very seriously and do our upmost to maintain a high standard and do everything we can to keep our patients safe.

Rather fittingly, we then enjoyed a soap making class at Cosy Cottage in Malton.
Don't forget to wash your hands! :)

Mouth Cancer Action Month is a charity campaign organised by the Oral Health Foundation. Taking place throughout November, the campaign raises awareness of mouth cancer.

We don’t know what causes most mouth cancers but there are several factors that are likely to increase your risk, most being linked to lifestyle. Therefore, with a few small changes, you can help cut your chances of developing mouth cancer.

The below causes are linked to mouth cancer:
• Smoking increases your risk of developing mouth cancer by up to ten times compared with non-smokers. This includes smoking ci******es, pipes and ci**rs. Around two in every three mouth cancers are linked to smoking.
• Drinking alcohol to excess increases your risk of mouth cancer. Alcohol is linked to just under a third of all mouth cancers.
• Smoking and drinking together trebles a person's mouth cancer risk.

Things you can do to reduce your risk of Oral Cancer:
• UK guidelines recommend a maximum of 14 units of alcohol a week for both men and women.
• Stop smoking – your dentist may be able to put you in touch with organisations and self-help groups who will have the latest information to help you stop smoking.
• Eat a balanced, healthy diet with at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. This can also help protect against many other cancers.
• Visit your dental team regularly, as often as they recommend, for a thorough examination of your soft tissues to make sure that your teeth and gums and whole mouth are healthy. We check your cheeks, tongue and throat for any signs of other conditions that may need more investigation.

Please visit Oral Health Foundation for more information.

Mouth Cancer Action Month is a charity campaign organised by the Oral Health Foundation. Taking place throughout November, the campaign raises awareness of mouth cancer.

By spotting mouth cancer early, we have a much better chance of beating it. Therefore, we are promoting the message ‘if in doubt, get checked out’. We encourage everybody to be mouthaware and pay close attention to what’s going on with their mouth.

Look out for:
• Non healing ulcers.
• Red or white patches.
• An ulcer that has been there more than three weeks.

If you notice anything out of the ordinary, do not hesitate to make an appointment with your dentist or doctor to get it checked by a professional. We are always happy to see you!

This month at The Red House Dental Practice we completed our annual Basic Life Support and Medical Emergency training with Raw Specialist Training.
It was a great opportunity to refresh our memories and spend some time as a team developing our skills and knowledge. Also a fantastic way to welcome our newest member of staff, Ruby, who has started her apprenticeship as a Trainee Dental Nurse.
Thankyou Mike!

Guided Biofilm Therapy 🪥🦷

Did you know that we use Guided Biofilm Therapy during our hygiene appointments? 😁

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a treatment protocol created and used by leading gum specialists throughout the world. This more effective and minimally invasive therapy is now the gold standard for treatment of gum disease.

The system has two parts, airflow and ultrasonic scaler. The airflow is used first, which easily and gently removes stains that may be caused by tea, coffee, smoking and other dietary factors. Followed by the ultrasonic scaler, which gently and effortlessly removes tartar from the teeth. The whole system has been designed for comfort and uses heated water to prevent tooth sensitivity! 🦷

So far we've had a lot of positive feedback since moving to Guided Biofilm Therapy! 🪥😀
