Why Is Your Oral Health Important?

As well as helping us to eat, smile and speak an effective oral health routine can improve your appearance, confidence and help you make a good first impression. It can also reduce the need for unplanned dental trips and absences from work.

However, poor oral health is not just about toothache. It has a much wider impact on general body health than you may be aware of. Recent research has found growing evidence linking the bacteria which cause tooth and gum problems to serious health conditions including heart disease, strokes and bowel cancer. Adopting a good oral health routine has therefore never been more important.

Information including how to register with a dentist, how to access emergency dental treatment and key tips to looking after your teeth/mouth can all be found on our new website -

Feed Your Smile

What you eat and drink plays a huge role in the health of your teeth and gums.

A balanced diet packed with essential nutrients helps keep your smile strong, while poor food choices can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and enamel erosion. 

Understanding how nutrition affects your oral health is key to maintaining a confident, healthy smile for life.
