We thought we would share with you some information from another of our leaflets. Preventative dentistry is the practice of caring for your teeth and keeping them healthy. This helps to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear and more. There are many forms of preventive dentistry, such as daily brushing and annual trips to the dentist. Children should be taught proper oral hygiene and preventative dentistry from an early age. If you want to find out more and would like some help, please get in touch, we would love to see you. Leaflets are published by the British Dental Health Foundation
At Bridge Dental Clinic we have some lovely books for your children to read as they wait to see the dentist. Peppa Pig a great favourite with youngsters talks about the tooth fairy and losing a tooth. The book also gives some lovely tips on nice healthy teeth for youngsters.

We are delighted to continue supporting the David Sheldrick Wildlife Foundation with our sponsorship of Kamok. Kamok was only 1 day old when she was orphaned and rescued, without the work of the Foundation she would have died. Now she is a healthy, naughty 2 year old. These orphan elephants gave us the inspiration for our theme at the Dental Clinic and mean a huge amount to us. To find out more about Kamok read here

The Bridge Dental has an excellent range of leaflets on Dental treatments, published by the British Dental Health Foundation. One of these leaflets is about My Teeth. This particular leaflet explains; What are my teeth for? What are the different parts of my teeth? What are plaque and tooth decay? What is the best way to brush my teeth? They are well laid out and explain in good plain english questions that crop up during Dentistry. We will cover some of these topics to give you clear explanations of your dental questions. Or if you have any questions please do get in touch.
Last weekend Hylton and Anne went to the UK Dentistry Show in Birmingham. During the one day we were able to attend, we both managed to attend a few lectures to update our skills and knowledge. The technology, equipment and services on offer was amazing with over 400 stands, far too many to cover in one day. We did manage to buy some new equipment, get some ideas for taking the clinic forward and have an enjoyable even if very busy day. Running the Bridge Dental Clinic isn’t just about the day to day dentistry, it’s about keeping the team up to date with the latest knowledge and equipment for our patients
Children’s dental health should always be a priority. Strong healthy teeth and gums will ensure good dental health in adulthood. By bringing your children along with you for regular check-ups, children are getting into the habit and routine nice and early. “Prevention is better than cure.“ Give your children the start they deserve. They gain confidence with the surroundings of the Clinic and with our staff.
At the Bridge Dental Clinic we recommend check-ups from the age of 3 years old. Detection of decay at an early stage is vital to be able to treat the child with a realistic chance of being able to do it with the minimum of fuss. Remember children don’t have decay in their teeth when they are born!
As children grow, an early assessment of their bite and a review of the occlusion, can help predict the need for Orthodontics. You do not have to wait until the teenage years to correct Orthodontic problems. There is so much that can be treated easily and far cheaper from the age of 7 – 8 years old. Rather than waiting until the discrepancy is very badly entrenched and the child has had to live with their crooked smile for years, totally unnecessarily.
