Dentists
There is a lot you can do yourself to look after – and heal – your teeth and gums, so you spend way less time dealing with the dentistry industry.
However, there are situations where a visit to the dentist is a necessity. These articles will help you decide when a visit is necessary, what questions to ask so you get the right answers for YOUR mouth, how to calm any anxieties you might have about the process, and get the results you expect.
You’re welcome to explore the rest of my articles too. If you still have questions, get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.

Paying for a Hollywood smile- The real cost of veneers
Porcelain veneers are responsible for many perfect Hollywood smiles, but they come at a cost… not only to your bank balance but also to the integrity and long-term health of your teeth. Before you invest in this form of cosmetic dentistry, be sure to ask some searching questions, both of your dentist and yourself.
Getting Root Canals
The root canal is a controversial dental procedure yet most dentists continue to recommend root canals without hesitation while other dentists believe all root canals should be removed. I believe that because everyone is unique, with different combinations of genetics, lifestyle, dental history, family histories, personal health, budgets and priorities there can be no simple answer to the question ‘should I get a root canal’. That’s why I’ve developed a checklist designed to help tease out the aspects of your unique situation that may have a bearing on your root canal decision.
