Coleman & Starkey

At Coleman & Starkey we believe in offering our patients friendly, relaxed, quality dental care. Our

Coleman & Starkey dental practice was started in 1990 by Mike Coleman, with Mike Starkey becoming a partner in the practice in 2010. Their aim and that of the entire team is to provide high quality dental care for the whole family in a friendly and relaxed environment, with an emphasis on making you feel happy and comfortable with us. We want to be a really good dental practice-perhaps not the big

gest or fanciest, but one which offers the type of care that is considered excellent. To maintain these high levels of quality standards, are one of a handful of dental practice in Wiltshire to be accredited with the British Dental Association Good Practice Gold award, and are Denplan Excel accredited. Our Philosophy of Dental Care

We provide dental care in line with modern thinking and only provide treatment in situations where there is a clear benefit to the patient. Dentistry, like all aspects of modern life, is in the process of significant change, so staff training and development is continual in order that we stay at the forefront of dental provision in the UK.

☕😅 Monday after half term check-in…

Parents - are you okay?
Teachers - are you okay?
Children returning to school - less okay.

We hope all our patients and staff with children survived a week of snack requests, expensive day trips, mysterious mess, questionable weather and hearing “I’m hungry” approximately 700 times a day 🙃

Normal routines have officially resumed… until the next school holiday appears out of nowhere.

Wishing everyone a strong coffee and a smooth Monday 💙

🦷 Arthritis can make everyday tasks more challenging, including brushing your teeth.

If you experience stiffness, pain or reduced grip in your hands, it’s important to know there are ways to make oral care easier and more comfortable.

💡 A few helpful tips:
🪥 Try an electric toothbrush with a thicker handle
🖐️ Use a toothbrush grip or handle adapter
⏱️ Take your time and don’t rush
🦷 Interdental brushes can sometimes be easier than floss

If brushing is becoming difficult, please speak to us at your next appointment, we’re always happy to help with practical advice and recommendations 💙

🧐 DID YOU KNOW? 🍬

Despite what many parents might think after a birthday party… there’s actually very little scientific evidence that sugar makes children hyper 😅

BUT… sugar definitely does affect teeth.

Frequent sugary snacks and drinks give the bacteria in our mouths plenty to feed on, producing acids that can lead to tooth decay over time 🦷

The key is moderation, good brushing habits and trying to keep sugary treats to mealtimes where possible.

Although we can’t promise that will stop the post-party zoomies 😉

🎒☀️ Half term adventures are in full swing ☀️🎒

Whether you’re exploring the Wiltshire countryside, enjoying an ice cream in the sunshine or simply trying to keep the kids entertained this week, routines can easily go out the window during half term 😅

A gentle reminder to keep those oral health habits ticking along too:
🪥 Brush twice a day
💧 Choose water where possible when out and about
🍬 Try to limit constant snacking throughout the day

It’s all about balance - enjoying the treats and adventures while keeping those smiles healthy too 😁🦷

What’s everyone up to this half term? 👇

☕🦷 Coffee drinkers… you may have been unfairly blamed all these years 👀

Many people assume coffee is the biggest culprit for stained teeth, but black tea can actually stain teeth more because it contains high levels of compounds called tannins.

Tannins make it easier for colour particles to stick to your enamel over time, especially if you’re a regular tea drinker (which, let’s be honest, many of us are ☕🇬🇧).

The good news? You don’t have to give up your favourite brew.

🪥 Good oral hygiene
💧 Drinking water regularly
🦷 Regular dental cleans

…can all help keep staining under control.

So now we have to ask…
☕ Team Tea or Team Coffee?

🌿☀️ Half term is here, and there’s plenty to enjoy across Wiltshire this week ☀️🌿

From safari adventures at Longleat and exploring the ancient wonders of Stonehenge, to family walks at Stourhead or canal-side days out in Bradford on Avon, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

If the weather has other ideas, there are also fantastic indoor activities locally too, perfect for keeping little ones entertained over the break 🙌

Wherever this half term takes you, we hope it’s filled with fresh air, adventure, family time and lots of smiles 😁💙

What’s your favourite family day out in Wiltshire? 👇

😁🦷 National Smile Month 🦷😁

National Smile Month is all about celebrating the importance of good oral health, and the confidence, wellbeing and happiness that a healthy smile can bring.

At Coleman & Starkey, we believe a smile is about far more than just teeth. It’s about feeling comfortable, confident and cared for.

This month is a great reminder to:
🪥 Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
🧵 Clean between your teeth daily
📅 Keep up with regular dental check-ups
💙 And don’t forget to smile a little more too

Healthy smiles start with small daily habits, and we’re here to help every step of the way 😁

🦷⛰️ THEY DID IT ⛰️🦷

An enormous congratulations to the incredible team who successfully carried a 160kg dental chair to the summit of Mount Snowdon in support of Dentaid 👏

Not only did they complete the challenge… they smashed the expected time, reaching the summit and back down again in approximately EIGHT hours. An unbelievable achievement 💪

Even more amazingly, they reached their fundraising target of £10,000 for Dentaid - helping provide vital dental care and oral health support to people experiencing homelessness, poverty, abuse and hardship. 💙

A special well done to Chris Patterson, athletics coach to Mike Coleman’s daughter, and the whole team involved. What an inspiring effort.

There is still time to donate if you haven’t already (and would like to) and help support this fantastic cause 🙌

🧀🦷 Turns out Mike Coleman may have been onto something all along…

Did you know that cheese can actually be beneficial for your teeth? 👀

Cheese helps to:
🦷 Neutralise acids in the mouth
🦷 Support enamel with calcium and phosphate
🦷 Increase saliva production, which helps protect teeth naturally

So while we’re not suggesting a cheeseboard replaces brushing your teeth… Mike is very pleased to hear science supports his lifelong commitment to cheddar 😅

What’s your favourite cheese? 👇🧀

🐎 The Westbury White Horse has stayed brilliantly white for over 200 years…

Meanwhile, one cup of coffee is enough to test our teeth 😅☕🦷
