Apollonia House

Interesting brief story on new exciting research being carried out.  It seems likely that at some point we may be able to grow teeth when we want!

So Zoom whitening is now here!

Your professional in-office instant tooth whitening option has arrived at Apollonia House. Zoom Whitening combines an instant whitening procedure with night-time tray use to maintain that lasting white smile.

The procedure takes about an hour to complete and is fully performed by our trained dentists in the surgery.  The custom made trays for each patient are also issued at the same session to continue that lasting effect.

For more information or to book your ZOOM! whitening session, please see the website or give the reception team a call on 01457821800.

If you are looking for a whiter, brighter smile then Philips Zoom Professional Dental Whitening could be for you.

Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed is a scientifically advanced teeth whitening procedure applied chairside at your dentist’s surgery. It’s ideal for anyone looking for immediate results, and now with the most advanced LED whitening technology from Philips, the results are even better than ever!

Its completely safe too! Numerous studies and clinical research confirm that teeth whitening in the hands of a professional dentist is completely safe.

This technique is a combination of chairside dental surgery whitening and long lasting effect from the night-time tray bleaching.  Zoom gives you the instant whiteness and then continued whitening creating lasting whiteness with the night-time tray kits.

The combined prices for the trays and the in-surgery treatments can be found on our website.

For more information on Zoom, or to book your whitening consult with one of our dentists please contact the practice.

In 2011 John Moorhouse achieved the 4000 mark in placing implants.  John has placed over 500 of these in 2010-2012, clearly demonstating his expertise in this field.  It is a fabulous achievement for John and we’re all sure his patients would agree too!

Despite John being very busy placing implants with the team he finds the time to play hard too.  In late 2011 John travelled to Darjeeling to run the Himalaya 100mile stage race.  He also travelled to climb Mount Elbrus in Russia.

All the team here at Apollonia House wish John the best and hope he continues to enjoy placing implants with us and running mountains in the future!!

Unfortunately the title doesn’t read “new” concerns over gum disease and tooth decay (which I nearly typed in), but “recent concerns”, as reports show that less than half of all adults have a proper oral hygiene regime.

It is as I said just new reports on old stories that people aren’t able to look after their teeth properly most likely because they haven’t been told how to!

According to figures from Ceuta Healthcare published in Dentistry Magazine Online just 31% of people use mouthwash and only 22% of people use floss.

So if you read this and you yourself have had gum problems or an issue with your teeth, or you know someone that has, please contact us here at Apollonia House and let us help your smile.

Throughout National Smile Month we are also pleased to offer complimentary smile checks to new or existing customers.  If this is something you would like to know more about please contact the reception team on 01457821800 or email us through the website at apolloniahouse.com

In conjunction with National Smile Month please come and see us for a Healthy Smile Check.  A healthy mouth check during National Smile Month will be complimentary.  An appointment with the dentist for this can be made with our reception team on 01457 821800.

See you soon!!

National Smile Month is now only one month away and here at Apollonia House we are all ready!

Why do we promote and why is this campaign run? Here are some statistics from the website to get you informed!

A healthy mouth means a healthy body. There’s evidence to back it up!

A healthy mouth means a healthy smile, and we all feel more confident with a beaming smile.
You’re less likely to have bad breath. Who doesn’t want that?

The better your oral health now, the less treatment you’ll need when you’re older.

We all know that a healthy looking smile can promote feelings of good well-being and confidence which in turn leads to success professionally and personally.

Research tells us that more people value your smile as the most important feature when first meeting somebody!

This march 14th is National No Smoking Day. At Apollonia House we are increasing our promotion of smoking cessation to help Great Britain become a nation of quitters on the 14th.

One in five people in Great Britain smoke but 63% of smokers want to give up. Here in the North West 23% of people smoke, the highest percentage in England.

This day on the 14th March aims to help smokers quit as with the right support people are four times more likely to succeed in quitting.

Did you know: after 48 hours of no smoking your taste and smell are massively improved due to no nicotine presence.

Call in or call us for help on quitting smoking or to enquire about the no smoking packs.

Throughout the month of March dentist Andrew Boon is providing free gum checks as smoking amongst other things can harm your gums!

We hope to see you soon.

With National Smile Month coming up we wonder why should people acknowledge this and is it important for everybody to support this?

A third of all children starting school have tooth decay and around a quarter of all adults have not visited a dentist in two years. Three in ten adults suffer from regular tooth pain and a quarter of all adults only brush their teeth once a day.

It seems a fairly easily conclusion therefore that we must get behind campaigns like this one to promote oral health in the UK. A smile is very important not only for oral and general health but also for our confidence and success.

With a good, regular oral health routine many diseases be it oral or general are preventable. For more information on National Smile Month you can visit the website www.smilemonth.org or give us a call at the practice for a consult and oral health check.

The snow this weekend rounded off quite an eventful week at Apollonia House Dental Practice.

On Monday through to Wednesday we had Sharon Waxkirsch visit us as some of you will have known having attended the group hypnotherapy session. A opportunity for the staff to engage with Sharon also proved enlightening on a professional and personal level. We thank Sharon very much for her work last week.

Our update in Life Support Training was successful with all team members participating with enthusiasm and a good learning session was had by all. Thanks always go to Wendy Burke our local life support coordinator.

Then came the snow. An open clinic on Saturday was not hindered as the snow started to fall around lunchtime. Some local condition needing drivers to take care but providing some wintery scenes to admire. Photos are available on the facebook page.

Anyway, that was last week, its a new week so lets see what excitement we have this week. See you soon.
