Given the amount of ‘scare stories’ that have built up around root canal treatment over time, it is probably not surprising that some patients of the Sync Dental Centres react negatively when told that they need to have this done in order to save a tooth. The reality though is that this is the only…
With a significant lockdown now generally over and with restrictions being eased all the time, (albeit with a degree of caution), we seem to be slowly returning to some sort of normality again. Although some people can’t wait to get back out into society, understandably, others may just be slowly and cautiously emerging and may…
Recent events may have seen some of us examining our appearance and wondering how we could improve it as things slowly move back to some sort of normality. Hair style?, new clothes? And maybe even having our teeth whitened? All of these can be done relatively quickly and without too much difficulty. The same can’t…
This probably shouldn’t come as a surprise as it is widely accepted that being obese brings with it many health issues. One that hasn’t really been examined in too much detail though, is the impact that obesity can have on our teeth and gums. At the Sync Dental Centres in Addlestone, we believe that a…
Nearly all children will suck their thumbs for a while and this happens most often during the transition from breast or bottle feeding to eating solid foods. Stress and anxiety can also cause children to suck their thumbs to help them stay calm. Although relatively unusual, this can even continue into adulthood. Although any long…
There are also good practical reasons to replace a missing tooth. The fact that a gap exists where the tooth once was means that other teeth can start to encroach into that space, leaving small spaces of their own. Over time this can lead to your teeth becoming crooked and uneven. It is likely that…
We are sure that many of our Addlestone patients will have been pleased to hear the news about the reopening of the pubs from the 4th July. It will almost certainly be very different from what we knew as a night out pre lockdown, but for most, it is a welcome step towards some sort…
As part of the easing of lockdown restrictions, patients of the Sync Dental Centres here in Addlestone will hopefully be pleased to see that we were allowed to open again from 8th June. Those of you who have been struggling with a relatively minor dental issue, such as a toothache, will no doubt be relieved…
At the time of writing this blog, the Sync Dental Centres is still closed for all but telephone advice and urgent dental emergency referrals. As things are very slowly opening up, with outdoor markets and retail due to open in the next few weeks providing adequate protection is in place, we are hoping that dental…
Although it appears that we are slowly and cautiously relaxing some of the measures around ‘lockdown’, it is likely that some restrictions will continue for some time yet. We are also seeing a reduction in the number of daily infections although there are still too many of course. The whole lockdown period will have affected…
The current ‘lockdown’ situation is a challenging one for most of us and for any number of different reasons. Those of us who have children that are currently off school will have their own set of challenges, both in trying to keep them safe as well as entertained. Like everyone else, we are waiting for…
All the evidence though appears to point to our imposed semi isolation starting to work, with hospital and fatality figures expected to decrease over the coming weeks. Although it has yet to be announced, it now seems likely that this lockdown period will be extended for a few more weeks at least, in this lengthy…
At the Sync Dental Centres we perform both restorative and cosmetic dentistry on all types of teeth, both front and rear. Although most dental issues can occur with any tooth, there are areas of the mouth where certain problems are more common. In today’s blog, our Addlestone dentists are going to take a look at…
At the Sync Dental Centres, each and every one of our team strives to improve the oral health of our patients, both in preventative and restorative roles. Although most of our blogs will continue to offer general dental advice as well as discussing various treatments that we offer, we will also take the opportunity to…
