Today is World Cancer Day 🎗️ did you know your dentist can help spot early signs of oral cancer?

We stand with those affected and are committed to raising awareness around prevention and early detection.

Your mouth is closely linked to your overall health, which is why we care for more than just teeth. During routine dental check-ups, we also screen the tongue, cheeks, gums and jaw for changes that may need further investigation.

Oral cancer can be difficult to notice on your own, especially in the early stages. Regular dental visits play an important role in identifying concerns early, when treatment is most effective.

This World Cancer Day, prioritise your health, a simple check-up could make a life-changing difference.

Preventive Dentistry: A Clinical Approach 🦷🪥

Preventive dentistry forms the cornerstone of sustained oral health. Many dental conditions develop gradually and remain asymptomatic in their early phases, making regular clinical assessment critical for early detection and intervention.

A comprehensive dental examination typically includes evaluation of:

🦷 Enamel health
Initial enamel demineralization represents the earliest stage of dental caries. When identified promptly, these non-cavitated lesions can often be managed through fluoride application, dietary modification, and optimized oral hygiene practices.

🦷 Periodontal health
Plaque-induced gingival inflammation (gingivitis) can advance to periodontitis if left untreated, leading to irreversible loss of periodontal attachment and alveolar bone. Periodontal probing and radiographic analysis are essential tools for early diagnosis and disease monitoring.

🦷 Occlusion and functional wear patterns
Occlusal discrepancies, bruxism, and other parafunctional habits may contribute to progressive enamel wear, tooth fractures, dentin hypersensitivity, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders over time.

🦷 Radiographic assessment
Dental radiographs provide critical insight into interproximal caries, periapical pathology, alveolar bone levels, and the condition of existing restorations that may not be detectable through clinical examination alone.

🦷 Soft tissue evaluation
Routine soft tissue screening supports early identification of abnormal mucosal changes, including oral pathology, significantly improving clinical outcomes.

Preventive dentistry is not optional, it is a fundamental element of comprehensive, evidence-based healthcare.

Farewell, Dr Dorien De Sousa 🥹

It is with mixed emotions that we bid farewell to Dr Dorien De Sousa. While we will sincerely miss her presence at Shoreline Dental, we are delighted for her as she embarks on this new journey with her family in the UAE. ✈️

We would like to thank Dr De Sousa for her years of dedication and the meaningful impact she has made on our practice.♥️

Dr De Sousa’s commitment, leadership, and professionalism have made a profound and lasting impact on both our team and her patients. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure every patient received attentive, compassionate, and personalized care, always leading with empathy and integrity.

Her thoughtful approach earned her the respect of colleagues and the loyalty of patients, and her contributions will be remembered with gratitude.

Wishing you the very best as you begin this exciting new chapter. Good luck and may your journey ahead be filled with success and happiness. 🥳

📌 During this transition, Dr Kevin Maguire will be overseeing the care of Dr De Sousa’s patients, ensuring a seamless continuation of treatment until our new dentist joins the team.

Electric Toothbrush Vs Manual Toothbrush 🦷🪥

Should I use and Electric or Manual Toothbrush? 💭

Both electric and manual toothbrushes can clean your teeth effectively when used the right way. The best option depends on your personal needs and brushing habits.

Electric Toothbrushes: often make brushing easier and more consistent. Their automated movements help remove plaque more efficiently, and many include timers to ensure you brush for the full two minutes. They are especially beneficial for people with braces, limited hand movement, or those who tend to brush too hard.

Manual Toothbrushes: are also very effective when proper technique is used. They are cost-effective, easy to find, and simple to use. A soft-bristled brush combined with gentle, circular motions help protect your gums while keeping teeth clean.

Ultimately, the most important factor is brushing twice a day with a toothpaste of your choice. Whether you choose an electric or manual toothbrush, consistency and correct technique matter. ✨
