Do you play hockey, rugby, lacrosse or participate in boxing or martial arts? Don’t forget to request a new mouthguard alongside your retainers to protect your new smile. A well fitting mouthguard will protect the teeth but also reduce the risk of broken jaw or concussion.
We’ve got a choice of colours and they come with a storage box and your name inside.


What colour would you choose?

Another in my ‘red flag’ series. Do you know the name of your orthodontist or dentist and have you met them in person? If not this could be a red flag, an indication that the person overseeing your treatment is not really in control. Who would you go to if something isn’t right?

An interesting incidental finding, bilateral palatal gingival ulceration in an 11 year old. Good oral hygiene, good health, symptomless.
Due to a compulsive ‘picking’ habit, parent was aware but didn’t realise the extent (how often would you look here?!)
If it continues there’s a risk of permanent recession, scarring, and possibly even infection or exposed bone. Although it wasn’t painful I suspect heat or certain foods would be sensitive.
We discussed stopping before any orthodontic treatment (the habit may just transfer to picking at the braces), using bitter nail varnish, a squishy or fidget toy, a sticker chart. But like digit sucking I suspect the real drive to stop has to come from the patient.
Have you ever seen a habit like this?

Are you using your electric toothbrush correctly? There’s a different technique to a manual toothbrush, make sure you use it effectively to get the best results
