11th Day of Festive Advent and it's Christmas Jumper Day!

Today the team rocked their best Christmas jumpers, which were proudly paired with some festive headwear. From jingling baubles to sparkling antlers, the Practice was a walking winter wonderland and the team received lots of lovely comments from Patients!

Nothing brings out the holiday cheer quite like a sea of colourful knits and glittery accessories. The countdown is well and truly on… Only 14 sleeps to go!!

On day 10 of our Advent, we're giving you some helpful tips on how to manage sensitivity during these colder months.

Cold weather can make sensitive teeth feel even more uncomfortable, but don't worry. We’ve got you covered with some helpful tips!

1. Use a Desensitising Toothpaste.
This can help block the dentine tubules and reduce sensitivity over time.

2. Avoid Extremely Hot or Cold Foods.
Opt for lukewarm drinks and foods to prevent triggering sensitivity.

3. Brush Gently but Thoroughly.
Use a Soft Bristled Toothbrush to avoid damaging enamel and gum tissue.
Brushing 2 x daily for 2 mins and not rinsing afterwards can help with any sensitivity.

4. Visit Your Dentist and Hygienist.
Regular check ups can help identify any issues before they become painful!

Please do not hesitate to call us if you are at all concerned about sensitivity.

On day 7 we are talking about tooth friendly festive snacks, and what you can do to help keep those cavities at bay over the Christmas period.

The festive season is full of delicious treats, but not all of them are kind to your teeth. The good news is there are plenty of mouth watering, tooth friendly snacks you can enjoy without worrying about that unwanted sugar.

Here are some festive snack ideas that are both tasty and smile safe:

A Cheese Platter is one of our favourites.
Cheese isn’t just delicious. It’s great for your teeth too!
Cheese helps neutralise acids in the mouth by raising the pH level and stimulating saliva flow. This makes cheese a perfect end of meal snack, especially after indulging in festive foods.
A chunk of cheese after your meal is actually encouraged to help protect your enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.
Try adding festive favourites like brie or cheddar stars, to your table.

Walnuts, almonds, and pecans are packed with nutrients and low in sugar. They’re a great crunchy alternative to sticky sweets that cling to teeth.

Veggie Sticks with Dip are a great snack. Carrot, cucumber, and pepper sticks are refreshing and help stimulate saliva. Serve with hummus, yoghurt dip, or festive beetroot tzatziki.

Clementines are a festive classic! Though citrus is acidic, it’s still a healthier option than many sweets. Just remember to wait about 30 minutes before brushing your teeth after citrus fruits though.

For any other advice, please do ask one of the team the next time you're in, or give us a call. We're always happy to advise.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Day 3 of our Festive Advent.

The holiday season is full of delicious drinks , but many are packed with sugar and acids that can be detrimental to your oral health. Here are a few of our favourite festive beverages for you to enjoy whilst keeping your teeth healthy and at a lower risk of developing cavities.

Spiced Warm Milk
It's cosy, comforting, and naturally low in sugar. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a festive twist!

Herbal Teas
Peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, or chamomile teas bring all the seasonal vibes without the added sugar. Delicious warm in your favourite Christmas mug, or cold in a glass.

Mulled Spice Water (No Added Sugar)
Simmer cloves, cinnamon sticks, and sliced oranges in water. You’ll get the gorgeous scent and flavour without the added sugar.

Sugar Free Hot Chocolate
Choose a sugar free mix or make your own with unsweetened cocoa powder and your preferred milk. Still delicious and very festive!

Festive Tip: If you do enjoy a sugary or acidic treat, try to have it with a meal and rinse with water afterwards to help protect your enamel.

Day 2 of our Festive Advent and we're talking about Dry Mouth.

As the temperature drops, humidity falls and this can often lead to dry mouth, which can put your teeth and gums at greater risk.

Saliva is your mouth’s natural defence, so staying well hydrated is essential to keep everything healthy and comfortable throughout the winter months.

To give your oral health an extra boost, we’re now stocking Dr. Heff’s Remarkable Mints. These mints are designed to freshen breath and support enamel health at the same time.

If you would like to try them first, we have some samples to give away. Please
ask one of our team, who we will happily give you a packet to try before you buy!

Stay hydrated and keep smiling!

Curaprox Christmas Toothbrushes are bright, cheerful, and perfect for adding a festive touch to your daily brushing routine.

We're also stocking Curaprox Gin & Tonic Flavoured Toothpaste. This is a fun, refreshing twist for the party season (alcohol free of course)

Last night, our team had a wonderful time at St Richard’s Hospice Snowdrop Ball, and we couldn't be more proud to have been the sponsor for the 8th year running!

For one special evening, we swapped our scrub tunics for elegant dresses and suits, and traded in our busy dental routines for fun, fizz, and delicious food. It was a night full of laughter, dancing, and making memories, all in support of an incredibly important cause.

We’re so honoured to continue supporting St Richard’s Hospice and the incredible work they do for the community. The event was a beautiful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together, and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of such a meaningful evening.
