Today we're shining the spotlight on Sarah, who joined the Tunbridge Wells Dental Centre team in November 2023.

Sarah has been working as a Dental Hygienist and Therapist since 2003, and after more than 20 years in the profession, she still genuinely loves what she does!

For Sarah, one of the most rewarding parts of her job is building a rapport with her patients and helping them feel relaxed and at ease during their appointments.

She has extensive experience in treating gum disease using minimally invasive techniques, helping patients achieve great results while protecting their long-term oral health. Sarah is also committed to continuing her professional development and regularly attends national conferences to stay up to date with the latest treatment techniques and developments in dentistry.

Outside of the practice, Sarah lives in East Sussex with her husband and young son. So when she's not helping patients look after their smiles, family time keeps her busy!

We're lucky to have Sarah as part of the Tunbridge Wells Dental Centre team, bringing so much experience, care and passion to every appointment.

A straight, healthy smile starts early.

As your child's adult teeth begin to come through, it's not uncommon to notice crowding, gaps, or teeth that don't quite line up. An early orthodontic assessment can help identify any concerns and ensure your child's smile develops in the best possible way.

At Tunbridge Wells Dental Centre, we offer orthodontic assessments and treatment plans tailored to each child, helping to improve not only the appearance of their smile but also their long-term oral health. Straight teeth are often easier to brush and floss, making them easier to keep clean and reducing the risk of future dental problems.

Benefits of children's orthodontic treatment include:
✔️ A healthier, straighter smile
✔️ Improved confidence and self-esteem
✔️ Easier brushing and better oral hygiene
✔️ Better alignment of the bite
✔️ Helping protect teeth for the future

Every child's smile is unique, which is why we'll assess their individual needs and discuss the most appropriate treatment options at the right stage of their development.

If you're concerned about your child's teeth, we'd be happy to help. Early advice can make all the difference.

Another month has passed, and Bobby is growing fast... but still no teeth!

Despite this, there are definitely plenty of signs that teething is underway. Like many babies, Bobby is dribbling more, chewing on anything he can get his hands on, and constantly looking for something to soothe his gums.

One thing many parents don't realise is that teething can take much longer than you think. Sometimes it feels certain that a tooth is about to appear, but babies can show signs of teething for weeks or even months before those first little teeth finally break through.

Just because you can't see a tooth yet doesn't mean your baby isn't uncomfortable.

Some things that can help soothe sore gums include:
✔️ Teething rings
✔️ Teething toys cooled in the fridge
✔️ Soft silicone teething toys
✔️ Teething mittens or gloves with textured edges for babies who aren't yet able to hold toys themselves

Every baby's teething journey is different, but keeping an eye out for the signs and offering comfort when needed can make a big difference.

We'll keep you updated on Bobby's progress next month. Perhaps those first teeth will finally make an appearance!

One of the most common questions we hear from parents is: "Do I really need to bring my child to the dentist if they only have baby teeth?"

The answer is a resounding yes!

Regular dental visits from a young age help children become familiar with the sights, sounds, and friendly faces at the practice. This acclimatisation is incredibly important. If treatment is ever needed in the future, children who have attended regularly are often much more relaxed and confident because the dental environment isn't new or intimidating.

Early visits also allow us to focus on prevention:
✔️ Advice on healthy diets and reducing sugar intake
✔️ Age-appropriate toothbrushing tips
✔️ Monitoring how teeth are developing
✔️ Fluoride varnish applications to help strengthen teeth and reduce the risk of decay

Perhaps most importantly, regular check-ups allow us to spot any signs of decay early. When caught quickly, treatment may be as simple as a small filling that many children can tolerate well. If decay is left untreated, it can progress and sometimes lead to teeth needing to be removed, which can be a much more challenging experience for a child.

The best dental treatment is often the treatment that's never needed.

That's why we're passionate about helping families establish healthy habits early and keeping little smiles healthy as they grow.

The summer holidays are all about making memories, enjoying days out, and of course, the occasional ice cream, ice lolly, or sweet treat!

The good news is that children can still enjoy their favourite treats while protecting their teeth. It's all about making the right choices and developing healthy habits.

Top tips for protecting young smiles this summer:
✔️ Enjoy sugary treats as part of a meal rather than frequent snacks throughout the day
✔️ Try to limit the number of "sugar hits" your child's teeth receive
✔️ Encourage water instead of sugary drinks between meals
✔️ Choose no sugar snacks where possible
✔️ Make sure children brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste

Many parents focus on how much sugar their child is having, but it's often how frequently they have it that matters most. Every time we eat or drink something sugary, the bacteria in our mouths produce acids that can attack the teeth. The more often this happens, the greater the risk of tooth decay.

Our children's dentistry team is passionate about helping young patients develop healthy habits that last a lifetime. Regular dental visits allow us to monitor your child's oral health, provide preventative advice, and keep their smile healthy as they grow.

Enjoy the summer holidays, the sunshine, and the treats. Just remember to look after those little teeth too!

Did you know that even children who brush their teeth well can still be at risk of developing decay in their back teeth?

This is because all teeth have natural grooves on their biting surfaces. In some children, these grooves can be particularly deep, making it difficult for a toothbrush to reach the very bottom. As a result, bacteria and food particles can remain trapped, increasing the risk of tooth decay over time.

What are fissure sealants?

Fissure sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. They seal over the deep grooves, creating a smoother surface that is easier to keep clean and less likely to develop decay.

✔️ Quick and painless treatment
✔️ No drilling required
✔️ Helps protect newly erupted adult teeth
✔️ Reduces the risk of cavities and future fillings
✔️ Ideal for children who find it difficult to clean their back teeth effectively

Fissure sealants are one of the simplest and most effective preventative treatments available. Applied when the adult molars first come through, they can help protect your child's smile for years to come.

Prevention is always better than cure, especially when it comes to growing smiles!

Speak to our team to find out whether fissure sealants could benefit your child.
