Important urgent update from 8th June 2020
Important urgent update from 8th June 2020
Dear patients
Following the recent announcement that dental practices will be allowed to open from 8th June 2020. We would like to provide you with the following information:
New guidelines mean we are unable to operate as we did pre covid-19.
We are working hard to make the necessary changes throughout the practice. Safety to our staff and patients is our priority and we appreciate your understanding whilst we implement these changes to adhere to latest and evolving guidelines.
Social distancing measures, enhanced cross infection, decontamination procedures and revised PPE requirements will result in our ability to see a reduced number of patients on a daily basis.
In keeping with the current advice from the regulatory bodies and patient safety, the procedures we are currently able to offer are limited.
We will initially focus on treating those patients who require urgent dental care and the patients who are in the midst of treatment. This means we will only be able to arrange these face to face appointments when we are confident it is safe to do so. Once we have ensured that we are able to safely increase our capacity to see patients we will begin booking routine dental appointments and treatment for all patients. Hence your current routine appointments from 8th June onwards are still on hold till further notice unless of-course you need urgent care in which case please do call the practice.
During these unprecedented times we would like to thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
If we have arranged an appointment for you please read the "attending your appointment" section and the covid "information leaflet" attached below before your visit. We would request you to sign the information leaflet on you arrival, unless you can print/sign it and bring it with you to save time.
Thank you for reading. Please fell free to call us if you have any questions
Stay safe
The White House Dental Practice
Please do not attend the practice if you have a high temperature, a new cough or a new loss of taste or smell or have been in contact with anyone who has.
We ask you to adhere to government social distancing guidelines during your visit.
Due to restrictions of our building we ask you to attend your appointment alone and with essential belongings only. If your child has an appointment only one adult may attend with them. We have limited space within the practice and social distancing is paramount to minimise the risk of coronavirus spread.
Toilet facilities are available if absolutely necessary however you must inform a member of staff if you require the use of these. This is to ensure a safe journey throughout the building and that appropriate disinfection measures can be taken after use. Please do not move throughout the building unaccompanied.
Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer the use of the drinking water machine and all reading literature has been removed as per the guidance.
The entrance/exit of the the building will remain locked. You will be requested to wait outside the building until your appointment. Please do not arrive too early, as we have staggered appointment times to reduce the risk of unnecessary contact.
On attending, a member of staff will take your temperature (using non-contact thermometer), if your temperature is high (above 37.8 degrees Celsius) you will be asked to return home and follow government isolation guidelines. Unfortunately we will not be able to proceed with your appointment. However if you need urgent treatment a referral to urgent dental centre will be considered.
You will be required and requested to use the hand sanitiser provided.
Information leaflet for Dental Care during the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic is placing huge demands on the entire health service and is changing the way we work. This leaflet is to make you aware that your dental care is likely to be affected.
Delay
It is likely that your planed routine check up will be delayed, possibly for several weeks because efficiency has been reduced by the increased precautions now necessary for all patients
We are prioritising clinic lists so that if you need a review as an emergency this will not be delayed
Risks
Your dentist will discuss the risks and benefits of the treatment with you, but it is important to understand that there are specific risks during the coronavirus pandemic that you must also think about.
Coming into any healthcare setting including a dental surgery may increase your risk of contracting COVID-19 as you will come into contact with members of staff and/or patients who could unknowingly be carrying coronavirus. Equally you could be infected, but not showing symptoms.
The surgery has put in lots of measures to reduce the risk to patients and staff including:
Reducing the number of people in our surgery to help prevent the spread to patients/staff
Our staff are provided with appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) which helps prevent the infection moving from person to person
We have introduced social distancing in areas where we can
our practice follows the current national guidance
Changes to the process
Before your appointment
The added risks of getting coronavirus will be discussed and in some cases this may change treatment options.
Individual decision
We recognise that, knowing these additional risks, you may not want to proceed with your appointment or treatment at this time. If you decide to delay your treatment, your dentist will inform you of the risks of not proceeding and any alternative treatments that they may be able to offer you.
If you do decide not to proceed at this time, but still want your treatment/appointment at a later date, we will note this in our records and try our best to arrange it for a later date.
If you do decide to continue with your treatment , we would like you to take additional precautions.
If you do have covid symptoms, have been in contact with someone else that does, we will unfortunately have to delay your treatment if the risks of proceeding outweigh the benefit of having your treatment or consider a referral to urgent dental centre.
Obviously if your symptoms or decision change please feel free to contact the practice and we can discuss all possible options.
I have read the above information, had a chance to discuss it and am happy to proceed with my appointment/treatment.

Teen Oral Care
| Posted on 3 January, 2016 at 7:35 |
Overview
Braces, third molars, facial appearance and bad breath are just a few new things for your teenagers to worry about as they make the transition from childhood to adulthood. Because kids are busy with school, jobs, sports and social activities, — plus eating a lot of junk food — you've got a situation ripe for dental issues, such as cavities.
The best way for teens to enjoy a nice smile and healthy teeth is to continue the good oral habits started early in childhood.
Here are a few tips to help your child get through the teen years cavity-free:
Encourage your teenager to take good care of his teeth. This means brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily. Teenagers care a lot about how they look. Help your teen understand that bad oral hygiene can lead to stains, bad breath, missing teeth and many other dental problems.
Set a good example. If you take good care of your teeth, your teenager will see that good oral hygiene is important to you. Your talks and warnings will not seem hypocritical and will carry greater weight.
Have plenty of oral health-care supplies on hand. Keep soft toothbrushes, colored, flavored floss or plastic flossers and good- tasting toothpaste out in the bathroom. You can even keep them in the kitchen for quick use when teens are in a hurry.
Don't buy junk food. Instead, keep lots of fruits and vegetables in the house for snacking.
Talk to your teens about the dangers of smoking and the oral health hazards it can cause. In addition, some teens are presented with social pressures to start smoking or get oral piercings. It is important for parents to present the dangers so their teens know the consequences of their choices.
Understanding
As teens continue to grow, they’re faced with certain dental issues, such as getting braces or having their wisdom teeth removed. Many of these procedures are a normal part of life, while others are proactive steps dentists take to help ensure a lifetime of oral health.
Here are some good things to share with your teen:
Braces are about more than a pretty smile. Straight teeth also are easier to clean, promote healthy gums, give a balanced facial appearance and are less likely to get chipped.
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, don't always have enough room to emerge during the late teens to early 20’s. Impacted wisdom teeth can damage nearby teeth or cause infection, and may need special care.
Bad breath, or halitosis, usually comes from bacteria that form on the tongue. In many cases, a simple change in your teen’s personal oral hygiene habits can freshen him up, starting with good oral hygiene, brush the tongue and keep regular visits to your dentist.
Whitening those pearly whites can be done with whitening toothpastes, mouth rinses and toothbrushes. The dentist also offers whitening treatment options that are done in the dental office and at home.
Tobacco products contain toxins that can cause carious types of cancer, gum disease, bad breath, tooth discoloration and a diminished sense of smell. It’s easier to kick a smoking habit earlier rather than later.
Oral piercings can have adverse affects on the health of your tongue, lips, cheeks and uvula. Oral problems associated with swallowed/aspirated jewelry, speech impairment, fractured teeth and gingival recession can occur. Dental professionals are a great resource as they can educate teens about the hazards and potential complications of oral piercings.

Planning
Taking care of your teeth means protecting them at all times. Depending on where you are and what you’re doing, certain steps can help prevent injury and infection.
Playing Sports
Because of the very nature of certain sports — especially football, hockey, baseball and basketball — the American Dental Association recommends wearing a mouth protector or mouth guard. These devices typically cover the upper teeth and can help cushion a blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth. Mouth guards can also reduce the risk of teeth getting chipped or knocked out during play or practice and help protect the teeth, lips, tongue, face and jaw.
Brushing and Flossing with Braces
If your dental hygiene wasn't the best before you got braces on, it's time to step up your game. Taking care of your teeth and gums becomes extra important when you wear braces, and caring for them means taking the time to brush your teeth and floss regularly. Use a toothbrush with a soft bristled head, toothpaste with fluoride and be gentle when you brush and floss to remove food debris and dental plaque from between your teeth and gums and from the brackets of the braces.
Here are some extra tips:
Brush and floss after meals to help get rid of food jammed between your teeth or in the wiring of your braces and on the brackets.
Be gentle with the floss. Using a floss threader, thread the floss through the threader, carefully place it over the braces' wire and then place it between two teeth. Make a C shape around the tooth and push-pull it to remove plaque and food debris at or below the gum line.
Skip any sticky, chewy or hard foods such as caramels or gummy candy and popcorn or hard pretzels, and be sure to avoid crunching on ice.
Teens who bite their nails, or chew pens, can damage their braces quite easily.
Wisdom Teeth Surgery
Surgical extractions, in the case of removing impacted wisdom teeth, generally cause more pain after the procedure than simple extractions. The level of discomfort and how long it lasts will depend on how difficult it was to remove the tooth or teeth. Your dentist may prescribe pain medicine for a few days and then suggest a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Most pain disappears after a couple of days.

Needed to put you that tiny observation so as to thank you so much once again on the extraordinary tricks you have contributed above.

Those advice as well served to be a fantastic way to recognize that the rest have a similar dream similar to my own to realize very much more around this issue. I am sure there are lots of more pleasurable times up front for people who discover your blog.

I wish to show thanks to you just for bailing me out of such a issue. Right after exploring through the the net and obtaining advice that were not productive, I assumed my entire life was gone. Living minus the approaches to the problems you have fixed by way of your posting is a critical case, as well as those that could have negatively affected my entire career if I hadn't come across your blog. Your good skills and kindness in controlling a lot of stuff was valuable. I'm not sure what I would've done if I had not come across such a subject like this.
