Invisalign 🌟🦷
What a difference 7 months can make. This lovely patients was unhappy with her crowded lower teeth. We straightened both upper and lower teeth with Invisalign clear aligners and got the result we wanted. This result is pre tooth whitening but the teeth look beautiful just the way they are. We would not have gotten this result without great co operation from the patient who wore her aligners diligently for 22 hours per day.

A little snippet of the patient’s journey to the dental surgery 🦷
What a transformation!
Another amazing result from @enlightensmiles. Two weeks at home whitening and one in clinic treatment

Say cheese 😀
A lovely way to finish a busy week. This lady had wear present on her lower teeth and was unhappy with the appearance and I was concerned that this would worsen over time.
After some careful planning with @southerncrossdental_ie we carried out teeth whitening and injection moulded composite bonding and got a lovely cosmetic result with the bonus of protecting the natural tooth structure from further wear 🎉

So this happened this evening 🙈
Dental trauma…
This is what I get calls about most frequently. There are a number of different injuries that can happen to children’s teeth.
This is a subluxation injury
In Felix’s case he hit his tooth off Ted’s forehead on the trampoline.
Tooth feels a bit loose but has not been moved out of position.
What to do:
Soft diet until the child is happen to put pressure on it again
Keep it clean
Monitor it for colour change

Look what’s landed..
Acne is one of the most debilitating conditions as it’s so hard to hide. I have suffered from this for about the last 20 years on and off. Trying multiple different medications and topical treatments along the way.
Some top tips 👇
1. Don’t use harsh gritty scrubs as this can cause inflammation and lead to more breakouts
2. Add salicylic acid cleansers or toners into your routine (as long as you are not allergic to aspirin). It works by penetrating pores and clearing them of blockages.
3. Don’t forget to moisturise . Sometimes people with oily skin skip using a moisturiser as they are worried it will block their pores and lead to more breakouts but skipping moisturising can trigger more oil production. Obagi’s Hydrate is non comedogenic moisturiser (does not block pores) which is beautiful to use.
4. Choose a mineral sunscreen over a chemical sunscreen. On the ingredients list look out for titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
5. Go to your GP and get a diagnosis as sometimes rosacea can be the cause of acne

The real Boss lady..
Louise is our receptionist, confidant, comedian and everyone’s mammy 😍
Louise came to the practice 9 months ago , sent from heaven at the perfect time when things were changing in the practice. She does not have a dental background but is a quick learner and is dying to get into the surgery with us to try to learn even more.
Louise goes out of her way to accommodate patients and make them feel welcome in a setting that can make some people feel a little nervous 😬

Composite Bonding 🦷
This lovely lady was unhappy with her uneven smile. After some tooth whitening and careful planning we placed these lovely composite veneers in one appointment with no need to remove any part of the teeth and no numbing either 👏
