Find your Smile Factor like Cheryl Cole

Monday, March 14th, 2011

This year’s theme for National Smile Month (16th May – 16th June) is The Smile Factor.

Every year the aim of these campaigns is to put the smile back on people’s faces and this year The Smile factor will be a great way to help people display their glowing personalities.

Here at the Liverpool Dental Spa we will be having a group of special offers to support National Smile Month so keep posted to see what is happening.

We will also be raising people’s understanding that a healthy diet is linked between good oral health and a greater overall general health like they have been doing in previous years. There promotion will consist of three key messages

  • Brushing for two minutes twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Cutting down on the amount of sugary drinks and foods in your diet.
  • Keeping up with regular visits to your dentist and hygienist.

‘A smile can be a very powerful show of emotion, yet not everyone has the confidence to do so.

‘They say you can hide behind a smile if you are not happy or are self-conscious about your teeth, so many people are missing out on showing their very own ‘Smile Factor’.

‘Others are being held back by poor oral wellbeing and its impact on their general health. This year’s campaign is designed to challenge those perceptions and get you smiling again.’

Thousands are dodging the dentist

Friday, February 18th, 2011

Sixty eight per cent of dentists said their patients were deferring treatment and 59 per cent reported cancelled appointments.

The poll of 251 dentists in England, for the British Dental Association (BDA), found the knock-on effect was a clear rise in the numbers needing emergency treatment.

More than a third (34 per cent) of practitioners questioned in October and November said they had seen increased demand for emergency treatment over the previous 12 months.

Dental check-ups often reveal more serious underlying health problems than simple gum disease.

Some dental diseases are closely linked to many serious health conditions including heart disease, arthritis and diabetes.

‘It’s understandable that, at a time when there is widespread concern about household finances, some patients’ financial anxieties are leading them to defer dental appointments and treatment,’ said Susie Sanderson, of the BDA.

‘Achieving short-term money savings at the expense of longer-term health problems isn’t wise, though.

‘Neglecting your oral health can increase both the complexity of the problems you face and the cost of the treatment you must eventually have.’
