Just an update!
This week we are switching over to a new dental system! Service may be a bit slower the next few weeks as we get used to the change.
The system will be down today from 2:00pm which may affect our team getting back to any inquiries you may have regarding appointments.
The practice will be closed tomorrow for a training day so any calls and emails will go unanswered until Thursday.

We really appreciate you all being so patient while we get through this transition period!

What is SLS? 🤔

Sodium lauryl sulphate is a foaming agent that is found in many personal hygiene items, such as shower gel, shampoo - and toothpaste!
Some people find that dental products irritate their mouths, the underlying cause is usually the SLS in their toothpaste.

Thankfully, there are several SLS-free products that still provide the vital fluoride protection needed to keep teeth strong and free from cavities.

Here are just some of the SLS-free toothpastes available on the market:

- Sensodyne Pronamel Daily Protection
- Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening
- Colgate Sensitive Instant Repair & Prevent
- Colgate Little Kids' Smiles 3+ Years Delicate Mint
- Corsodyl Active Gum Repair
- Corsodyl Ultra Clean Toothpaste
- Dentalux Complete Toothpaste
- Hi Smile (all varieties/flavours)
- Zendium (all varieties/flavours)

If you are unsure of which is best to suit your needs, speak to your dentist or hygienist at your next appointment.

Did you know:

Let’s empower ourselves and our community with knowledge:
• Check for any changes in your mouth, lips, tongue, or throat.
• Speak to your dentist or GP if you notice anything unusual.
• Share this message — awareness saves lives.
Knowledge is power.
