What Toothpaste is Best to Use: A Comprehensive Guide from Your Trusted Tunbridge Wells Dental Practice
When it comes to oral health, one of the most common questions we hear at our dental practice in Tunbridge Wells is: “What toothpaste should I use?” With many available options, choosing the right one for you and your family can be overwhelming. This blog post aims to demystify the subject and provide the information you need to make an informed decision.

The Importance of Fluoride
First and foremost, any toothpaste you choose should contain fluoride. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a crucial role in oral health. It helps to strengthen the enamel, the outer layer of your teeth, making it more resistant to decay. The British Dental Association and the NHS recommend fluoride toothpaste, which is widely considered the gold standard for preventing tooth decay.

Many people are worried about fluoride, and if you search online, you will find many people talking about how fluoride harms your health. This is true. However, you must note that fluoride harms your health only if you ingest it in large quantities.

That is why toothpaste in the shops is limited to the amount of fluoride it contains, and when brushing your teeth, you only need a tiny pea-sized about on your brush, that’s all! Ensure you spit out any excess toothpaste after brushing, and it will be okay.

Dental Veneers in Turkey

This blog post explores why people choose Turkey for dental veneers, the challenges of undergoing treatment abroad, and the importance of making an informed decision.

For some, it’s the memory of a painful childhood experience, while for others, it’s the daunting sound of dental equipment.

For many, this anxiety can lead to them avoiding dental appointments, leading to potential oral health problems like decay and gum disease. For more information follow the link to our blog or call reception on 01892 533944

Due to severe dentophobia, I had not been to the dentist in many years. After finally deciding it was about time for me to get rid of this phobia, I started researching dentists in the area and found out that the dental centre offers extra care for nervous patients. I booked a new patient consultation with Dr. Atkinson and was amazed at her ability to calm me down and talk me through everything. Six appointments later, I now feel much more confident going to the dentist. I am so impressed by the care I have received over the past few months. The ladies at the reception desk are wonderful too. Cannot recommend the dental centre enough. 10/10.

Overcoming Dental Anxiety: A Path to a Confident Smile at Tunbridge Wells Dental Centre

You are amidst a delightful conversation when an infectious wave of laughter suddenly courses through the group. However, instead of joining freely in the moment, you instinctively cover your mouth. Does this situation sound familiar?

This is a reflex we witness far too frequently, both within and outside of our dental practice at Tunbridge Wells Dental Centre. It always stirs sorrow in our hearts because it signifies a person’s self-consciousness about their teeth.

Understanding Dental Anxiety
Unfortunately, dental treatment is often tied with a trifecta of fear, pain, and expense. These associations are entrenched in many people’s minds, preventing them from seeking necessary dental care. Dental anxiety is a natural, palpable issue that affects a significant number of people globally. However, we want you to understand that seeking dental treatment doesn’t always need to be daunting or stressful.

Dental anxiety is more than just an uneasiness about visiting the dentist – it’s a debilitating fear that can lead to avoidance of dental treatments and, consequently, deteriorating oral health. It can be triggered by various factors such as fear of pain, a bad dental experience in the past, embarrassment about oral health, or even the sterile smell of the dental clinic.

A big Thank You to Laura @ Trug and Trowel for the beautiful dried flower arrangement created especially for our waiting room! Everything grown and picked from her garden and farm and dried in the farmhouse.

What age should children first visit the dentist?
This is a question we get asked a lot by new parents. The answer is as soon as they get their first tooth. The reason for this is mostly education so you know the best way to look after your child’s teeth to reduce the risk of them getting decay, but mostly acclimatisation for your child. We have found if your child comes from a very young age, the risk of them developing dental anxiety is much lower. So bring your child in as soon as possible and bring toys and their toothbrush with you so we can make the visits as fun as possible. If a parent is a regular attender at our practice, we see their children for check ups free of charge up to the age of 16 with no NHS waiting lists. Call reception on 01892533944 to book.

Tea and coffee ☕️
We all love them but are they bad for your teeth?
The simple answer is NO! However adding sugar to these drinks IS bad, this is because you are continually dosing your teeth in sugar for the whole time it takes us to enjoy the drink, which often is multiple times per day. We would recommend swapping sugar for a zero calorie sweeter (ideally xylitol based) or better still cutting out the sugar aspect of these drinks completely.
Without sugar, you can drink as much tea and coffee as you like from a tooth perspective, the only downside is the staining potential, but with regular hygiene appointments, this can be removed. Drinking with milk will reduce the staining of the drinks.

How protective is your SPF? Sun damage is the number 1 cause of aging skin.
Are you protecting yourself enough?
IS clinical extreme protect SPF40 has extremozyme technology providing multilevel broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. It is water resistant, hydrates, smoothes and softens, provides an antioxidant-rich protective barrier and lowers your risk of photoaging and skin cancer, plus comes in a range of tints.

Review left by Claire Negri

Had the Fire & Ice facial by Anna a few weeks before my wedding and wow it was amazing. It's non-invasive so great to have just before the big day and made my skin glow for weeks. The actual facial was so relaxing and the difference between the 'fire' and 'ice felt so good, especially the cryo tools that were so cooling.

Can't wait for my next one before my honeymoon, feel so confident in my skin! Thank you Anna!

What a lovely message from a lovely patient! Isn't it nice when people take the time to let you know you are appreciated?

Hi Guys

Please can you pass on my sincere thanks to Mel for the appointment on Monday. I gather that she wasn't due in that afternoon and yet saw me as an emergency appointment. I know it was a tricky extraction and so I can't thank her and Mike enough for the help. Amazing service from the whole team to help me on the day.

No more looking at a boring ceiling on your next trip to Tunbridge Wells Dental Centre. Which ceiling do your prefer? We would love to know or can you guess which dentist (Mike or Melissa) chose which design?

Thank you to Laura, @ Trug & Trowel, for the beautiful flower arrangement!!
