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!

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!

Last night we held our Periodontic training evening with Lama Brown. The evening went very well, Lama discussed all aspects of periodontics and the different ways of treating periodontal disease including non-surgical and surgical regenerative procedures. We would like to thank everybody for coming and hope they enjoyed the evening as much as we did! After great feedback from all of our delegates we will be organising more lectures on endodontics, dental implants and advanced cosmetic dentistry for next year. We are also looking into running study clubs for our referring dentists and Helen, our hygienist, would like to start a study club for hygienists and dental nurses. If you are interested please get in touch. Likewise if you would like to receive any information about periodontal disease or any information on Lama get in touch!
