Enamel is the white layer on top of our teeth that is one of the hardest substances in the human body. It has the highest mineral composition of anything in the body, with 96%, some of it made up of water and the rest made of other natural substances. This is what gives our teeth that fantastic shine, and makes for a perfect smile.
Veneers and bonding can improve a person’s smile to no end. Stemming from the fact that it gives the person who has adjusted their smile such a boost in confidence they can’t help but walk around with a smile on their face.
Many people suffer fears and anxiety about going to the dentist. Whilst this fear of the dentist is very common, it’s not exactly a rational fear. Going to the dentist is safe and many people never have a bad experience when they are at the dentist. In fact, in the UK all dental clinics must ascribe to the relevant dental authorities regarding dental health and safety.
A brighter, whiter smile is one of the most beautiful physical attributes you can possess.
People make first impressions based on looks, at least initially anyway. Imagine the kind of first impression you can make on someone when you look great, and can flash them a glowing smile.

Teeth grinding or bruxism can cause problems with teeth, jaw pain, earache and headaches.
Stress is commonly cited as the cause but an abnormal bite or missing or crooked teeth can also cause it. It often occurs during sleep so most people are unaware that they grind their teeth. Symptoms may include a dull, constant headache or a tender jaw.
So the end of January is just around the corner and seeing as it’s a new year it’s a great time to reflect on your dental health.
Dental health is extremely important but it can be an area of health that is often overlooked. Well, we know that this can lead to some very serious dental health implications further down the track.
Over the course of our lifetime, our teeth can naturally become chipped or worn away. Unfortunately, discolouration and uneven teeth can leave you with a smile you are no longer excited to share with the world. Sadly, some people’s self-esteem is negatively impacted so much, they stop smiling altogether. Thankfully, there are a variety of cosmetic dental treatments available to rebuild your smile and give you a grin to be proud of.
Wearing dentures can be a challenge for many of our patients. At Bridgford Dental Practice we find that many patients struggle with loose fitting dentures, which can have a huge impact on their daily lives in terms of eating, health, relationships and self-esteem.
