Protect those knashers!

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

The kids are back to school (hooray!!) and we are all back to our daily routines. Today Nae has been seeing children and teenagers for their dental exams before they go back to school. She has also been talking to them, and their parents, about sports mouthguards. When taking part in school sports, especially rugby and hockey, the children should be protecting their teeth with a bespoke mouth guard. The dentist will take impressions and send them off to the lab for them to be made. A mouth guard is a great investment for your children, as we have seen many kids that have knocked front teeth out and chipped them due to playings games and sports. This can then result in having extensive treatment, such as Root Canal Therapy, Crowns or Implants.

If you have any questions about sports mouthguards or what to discuss it further with your dentist then please ask us. We want to keep you and the kids smiling

“All I want for Christmas is my front teeth”

Monday, December 21st, 2009

We have made one of our 17 year old patients happy this week, by giving him a new front tooth for Christmas (excuse the pun). Like many teenage boys, he is very keen on contact sports, and unfortunately due to a sporting injury he managed to knock and chip his front tooth. Due to the accident, the front tooth started to become painful and discolour, and Raquel had to perform Root Canal Treatment on his front tooth. After this, we started to prepare a new front crown for him, as the tooth needed to be protected. After a couple of trips to see us, several impressions and “trimming” of the tooth, we were able to fit his new crown. What a difference it has made!! He even took a trip to our laboratory for a custom shade, so we were able to match the colour and appearance of the tooth exactly. He has walked out of the practice smiling again, due to a brillant crown. Let’s hope he remembers that mouth guard now when playing sport!!

If you have questions regarding cosmetic dentistry, crowns, root canal, or mouth guards for sports, please ask your dentist or our team. We will be happy to help.

Bon Voyage!

We all waved goodbye and farewell to Sarah and Nick as they fly off to Australia to visit friends and family for the Christmas period. They have both been hectic finishing treatments, fitting crowns, and making sure all their patients are happy before they went away. Pangbourne won’t be the same without you. All the team at Woodborough House want to wish them a very Merry Christmas and a very happy (and hot) New Year. We are not sour…………. honest. Have a fab time!

Funky Finance!

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

It has been manic at the practice today! All the team have been working really hard to get all our patients sorted and happy before the Christmas Holidays.

Sen had a lovely lady in interested in improving her smile. She has had a crown on her front tooth, but wants to have it redone for cosmetic reasons. The only thing that is holding her back is finance. Here at Woodborough House we can offer our patients a 0% finace scheme,  when treatment costs reach a certain threshold. This enables you to start treatment, but spread the cost over the year. You can use the finace to help pay for crowns, dentures, bridges, veneers, implants, and cosmetic treatment. This is just one the many things Woodborough House can do for you to help make you visit here more pleasurable, and to keep you all smiling.

As many of you will be aware we now have intra-oral cameras in all of the surgeries.  This allows us to show you exactly what is going on inside your mouth!  We can take before and after shots of your teeth when being treated and keep a record of soft tissues, old fillings and crowns.  This allows us to monitor any development of decay and show you any areas where you may be missing plaque to help you with your oral hygiene. At your next dental examination you may notice your dentist snapping away!  And remember …….. at Woodborough House we keep you smiling!
