It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

 

Whether we are ready for it or not, the festive season is now well and truly upon us – we have already caved in and put on the Christmas songs (much to the delight of the staff!).   With Christmas here and with the end of the year approaching, many of us are starting to look […]

Happy 50th Birthday Dr Who

 

I, like many of you, sat down at 7.50pm on Saturday night to watch the much hyped “Day of the Doctor”. Now I stopped watching Dr Who after the first series with Matt Smith in the lead role, so some of the characters and storylines were a bit beyond me. However, I was soon sucked […]

Getting back to basics with orthodontics – part 2

 

I thought in my second blog about this topic I would do a quick comparison for you so you can see which braces work best for which teeth straightening problem. In a nutshell, comprehensive or full orthodontic treatment is needed if you want; ALL of your teeth straight and level with each other, bite problems […]

Getting back to basics with orthodontics – part 1

The sun comes up in the morning and sets in the evening (except if you live in the far North or South where you get perpetual days and nights!). The earth is round, has gravity and breathable air.

Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness

 

Autumn will soon be well and truly with us. The nights are drawing in, children are back at school and blackberries are ripening in the hedgerows. It’s a time of year I associate with a freezer full of fruit pies and cupboards of homemade jam. We all start looking towards the end of the year as […]

Pay attention to retention

 

It’s a fact of life that tooth position changes as you age. You see this most significantly in the growing child where growth of the jaws and the balance of the lip and tongue muscles will change tooth position. Change one thing and the dominant force will govern where the teeth end up. This is […]
