Regardless of the type of cancer, early detection can mean early treatment, which in turn, can stop the cancer growing and spreading. This is as true with oral cancer as with many other types and as such, you can’t be too careful.
In many things in life, prevention is definitely better than the cure, and this has never been truer than when it comes to dental hygiene.
Let’s be honest, the idea of having a tooth out doesn’t fill any of us with joy and while some people can take having an extraction done in their stride, for others it can be a traumatic ordeal.
No matter what questions you may have about dental crowns and bridges, the Cheshire Dental Centre can answer them. With our help, you will be able to make the right choices about your teeth and how to preserve a winning smile.
At the Cheshire Dental Centre, we understand that some patients may be somewhat anxious about visiting the dentist. That’s why, the moment you arrive at the practice, we have warm and understanding staff who will welcome and guide you through your entire visit.
Dental health and hygiene should be at the forefront of a parents mind when they have a child. As such, it’s an excellent idea to set the foundations for good habits as well as good dental care as soon as possible to ensure that your child’s life isn’t hampered by dental problems in years to come.
The power of a good smile cannot be understated. People appreciate a full smile and you feel all the better for being able to smile with confidence. If you’re missing a tooth, or multiple teeth, and want to improve your smile, then dental implants may be the answer.
Your smile is an important part of who you are and you want it to be something that you’re proud of. It can be the first impression that you give a new friend, or just a part of you that your old friends know well.
Not everyone likes a visit to the dentist but some patients but some have more trouble stepping over the threshold than others.. We understand that not everyone enjoys popping in and as such we make sure that our staff are extremely compassionate towards nervous patients.
For some of us, the appearance of our teeth can often feel a little beyond our control. While we brush fastidiously, making sure we keep them beautiful and white, they can tend to have a mind of their own, growing in different directions leaving unsightly gaps.
There’s nothing worse than brushing your teeth for what seems like hours only to realise that the marks that cover them are no lighter. Stains from smoking, drinking alcohol and coffee can last for years and be very difficult to remove.
There’s a virtual plethora of advantages that come from having healthy teeth and gums. From that feeling you get when you smile and your teeth are beautiful and white, to the knowledge that comes knowing that you can eat a variety of different food products without the worry of constant pain.
There’s nothing worse than that moment when you get up close and personal with someone, only to discover that they suffer from halitosis. Even worse, is that it can often be a condition that you have and don’t even know it.
There are few things that make someone stand out in the crowd more than a beautiful smile revealing sparkling white teeth.
These days a lost tooth can be replaced and gaps in your smile can easily be avoided. Modern dentures have a more natural appearance and are much more comfortable to wear and for those who have lost teeth prematurely – don’t worry.
Root canal is probably one of the most well known terms in dentistry,however, many people still don’t know what it actually means or in whatsituations the procedure is likely to be necessary.
It’s always easier to smile when you’re confident the teeth you’re showing off look great. Most of us have something we wish we could improve about our smile.

We have now received clear guidance as to what dental procedures we can safely carry out and at what stages during the pandemic.
Below is a summary of the guidance as we understand it, although this may modify over the next few days as some small inconsistencies are clarified.
The government has set five different risk levels for the pandemic 1-5 (low to high), although this changes on a daily basis.
The treatments that we can carry out safely in dental practice will change with the risk level.
Treatments are significantly limited at level 4.
During the next few weeks, we will attempt to contact each patient that has contacted us with a significant dental problem during lockdown, and we hope to book an assessment appointment for those patients in the week commencing 8th June.
Practice doors will be locked at level 3, 4 and 5. Entry to the practice will be limited to pre-booked appointments.
There will be very clear criteria provided in due course as what is required before arriving at the practice, and what the procedure will be upon arrival. We will endeavour to ensure that each person knows exactly what to expect at their visit as this will be quite different to what you have been used to.
The appointment diary will be structured to take into consideration those patients who are shielding, may have underlying medical issues and so on.
The first week is expected to be a slow start as we ensure that the new protocols are working effectively for everyone’s safety. These protocols will be audited and modified until required.
At level 4 we should be able to carry out the following:
Dental assessment (initially restricted to patients who have current urgent need, or did and contacted us during lockdown).
X rays but only for patients who tolerate them well.
TEMPORARY re cementation of crowns. (We cannot dry the tooth effectively enough to cement a crown permanently with the restrictions we face).
Fabrication or repair of removable dentures.
Simple dental extractions. If a tooth breaks, it is probable we will have to leave the roots in place until we are at a lower level of risk. Naturally, we will assess the risk very carefully prior to treatment.
Tightening of loose dental implants if possible, without using a high-speed handpiece (drill).
Temporary fillings.
Draining of a swelling/abscess.
Provision of antibiotics.
Trimming of sharp orthodontic wires (not reliable re cementation of loose brackets, or replacement of missing brackets).
Treatment is only to be offered after careful assessment.
Cosmetic orthodontics
Cheshire Dental Centre provide many of these treatments. We may now be able to progress some of our Quick Straight Teeth cases. We will be in touch with each patient shortly, but please allow us to contact you; we hope that it is understandable that we will be prioritising patients with urgent dental need.
The PPE (personal protective equipment) requirements for the above are not too onerous, and we will not look too different to normal. As you are aware, the cross-infection control at Cheshire Dental Centre has always been exemplary and one of our top priorities.
Although we have been organised with the new PPE guidelines well in advance there may be the occasional time where we are awaiting stock. All practices are attempting to source the necessary PPE we need to keep you and us safe, but supplies are scarce and consequently very expensive.
