Lama, our in house periodontist is fully booked today treating all her lovely patients. Lama is with us at Woodborough House, every Friday, to help maintain and treat our patients that are suffering from gum disease. Many people are unaware of the signs and symptoms of Periodontal disease, and surprisingly more teeth are lost due to gum disease, than decay. Lama is able to discuss a treatment plan with you, deep scale, apply antibacterial solutions to the gums to help healing, and help with Oral Health education. All of Lama’s patients have been very pleased with the outcome after treatment. The healing and improvement is amazing!
If you have any questions or queries regarding periodontal disease please feel free to ask our team. We want to keep you all smiling!!

Today at the practice it’s all hands on deck!! We are preparing for the village Christmas Evening, and today we are adding some extra sparkle to the practice. We are having twinkle lights put up outside! This is just one of the ways we are spreading a bit of Christmas cheer around Pangbourne.
Another way of adding a little sparkle to our lives, is by visiting our Dental Hygienist. Helen has been extremely busy today cleaning, polishing, and motivating all our patients in Oral Health. Regular visits to the hygienist will help to improve dental health and prevent Periodontal disease, bleeding gums, and dental decay. Just another way that Woodborough House can help to keep you all smiling.

Well, who said you can’t have a white Christmas? One of our lovely patients from Pangbourne walked through the practice door today and dazzled us all with her “pearly whites”. Every time she visits us for her 6 monthly dental check up, she always comments about having her teeth whitened. Well, she recently decided to go for it! Sarah took impressions of her teeth, sent them off to the lab, and within a week we had her bleaching trays back for her. We can not believe what a difference it has made, and she is smiling from ear to ear since she had the whitening done. Christmas 2009 will definitely be a white one for her! Woodborough House has kept her smiling.

Today has been a very busy day at the practice! Sen and Hayley have had one of their most favourite patients in. She originally came to see us for a dental check up. We then found out from her, that she was suffering with sore gums. After doing a thorough examination we discovered that she had severe gum disease. Sen discussed with her what periodontal disease was and how we can help her. Many people are unaware of what periodontal disease is, and how it may start, so it is essential to have these dental examinations to help prevent such disease starting.
Since then, she has been in a number of times to see us. Under local anaesthetic, we was able to dosome deep scaling. We took radiographs and photographs to help explain to our patient what was happening. We gave her loads of oral health education and goodies such as tepes, floss and corsodyl, and she has been doing a fantastic job!! She really has come a long way since the day we originally saw her!! Woodborough House has kept her smiling.

Today we have been flat out with dental checkups. Everybody is coming in for their regular ” dental mot’s”. Sarah has even had some of her most loyal patients travel all the way from London to see her! At these check up’s we are looking at soft tissues, radiographs, old fillings and restorations, and general dental health. It is important to see us regularly as we can help prevent you needing major restorative treatment, and prevent problems from arising. We also like to touch base with our patients on a social level. We all know Sarah likes a chat!! So come and see us! Because at Woodborough House we keep you smiling!
