December 2008
- Amid all the preparations for Christmas why not pop in for a festive clean up! Brighten your smile for the photos and make sure fillings aren't about to break over the holidays. Don't worry if it does though. Alistair will be providing emergency cover throughout the season. Call your usual practice number and the answerphones will give you all the detail.
- Practice is awarded British Dental Association Good Practice Scheme, the most recognised quality control award for NHS practices. This goes along side our Denplan Excel Award the most stringent national quality control award for Private practice.
November 2008
- Further investment in IT brings intraoral digital cameras. You can now see exactly what your dentist is talking about when they say there is a broken filling or somewhere they want you to clean further.
- Kathryn, dental nurse, sits her exams - fingers crossed!
October 2008
Overhaul of IT at Ashington allows digital x-rays to be emailed directly to consultants at the dental hospital. This makes it possible to get an instant diagnosis and help with treatment planning if your case is a difficult one.
September 2008
- Welcome to Kelly, trainee dental nurse and Joanne, senior dental nurse.
- "Fibre posts" introduced in Hadrian Park. These glass fibre posts are incredibly strong and yet allow light to travel through them. They are the "gold standard" way of restoring the badly broken front tooth giving the best possible strength and aesthetics.
