When should you see a specialist?
For many head and neck concerns, your GP is a good place to start. They can assess your symptoms and, if needed, refer you to the appropriate specialist, like an otolaryngologist or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist for further investigation or treatment.
A specialist assessment may be appropriate when you have:
A lump or swelling in the head or neck that persists
Persistent changes in your voice or swallowing
A mouth ulcer that does not heal
Ongoing or unexplained facial or jaw pain
Recurrent problems affecting the salivary glands
Symptoms that persist despite initial treatment
Don't ignore symptoms just because they are painless or seem minor.
Not sure where to start? Your GP can help determine whether a specialist referral is appropriate.

Spring cleaning isn't just for your home. It's also a good time to refresh your oral health routine.
Although flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from areas your toothbrush can't reach, technique matters.

When flossing:
1. Gently guide the floss between your teeth.
2. Curve the floss into a C-shape around the side of one tooth.
3. Gently move it up and down, including just below the gumline.
4. Repeat on the other side of the tooth and move to the next space/tooth.

Don't snap or force the floss into your gums, as it might cut or damage your gums.
If you're not sure whether you're flossing correctly, your dentist or oral healthcare professional can show you the right technique.
This spring, give your smile a proper spring-clean, including the places your toothbrush can't reach.

😴 Is Your Jaw Ruining Your Sleep?
Partner’s snoring keeping you awake? Or do you wake up feeling exhausted, even after a full night's sleep?
Snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). People don't realise that the shape and position of the jaw can affect the airway, making it harder to breathe while sleeping.
Corrective jaw surgery is one of the most life-changing procedures we perform.
If you or your partner experience loud snoring, gasping during sleep, or persistent daytime fatigue, it may be time for an assessment.
📞 Better sleep starts with the right diagnosis.

The Tooth Nobody Talks About 🦷
They're called wisdom teeth because they usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25—when you're supposedly a little wiser.
The irony? They're also the teeth most likely to cause problems. 😂
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but if there's not enough space for them to erupt properly, they can become impacted (trapped beneath the gum), grow at an angle, or put pressure on neighbouring teeth.
The good news? Modern wisdom tooth removal is a routine procedure, and your surgeon will assess your teeth with a clinical examination and X-rays to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Born Different, Not Less 💙
Did you know? Approximately 1 in every 2,500–3,300 babies is born with a cleft lip and/or palate in South Africa.
The diagnosis can feel overwhelming for parents, but it's important to know that there is hope.
With expert surgical care and a multidisciplinary approach, children born with cleft conditions can go on to eat, speak, smile and thrive. Many undergo their first corrective surgery within the first year of life, marking the beginning of a life-changing journey.
At our practice, we're honoured to be part of that journey, helping restore not only function, but confidence and quality of life.
Because every child deserves the chance to smile with confidence. 💙

A Trampoline Accident... and a Missing Tooth. Should Parents Worry?
It happens in seconds.
Acting quickly can make all the difference.
Here's what parents should know:
✅ If it's a baby tooth: Don't try to put it back in. Contact your dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon for advice, as the injury may affect the developing adult tooth.
✅ If it's a permanent tooth: Time is critical! If possible, gently pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it briefly if dirty, and place it back into the socket. If that's not possible, keep it in cold milk or saliva and seek emergency treatment immediately. The best chance of saving the tooth is within 30 to 60 minutes.
Even if the tooth doesn't fall out, a blow to the mouth can damage the roots, jawbone, or surrounding tissues. Pain, swelling, or loose teeth should never be ignored.
We assess and treat facial and dental trauma to help restore both function and your child's smile.
