21.01.2022 In this video, I discuss how a vitamin D deficiency can influence your teeth.

20.01.2022 Mastered ...The’ Rubberdam! Under Level-3 dental restrictions, we can strictly only use Aerosol for emergency dental....under Rubberdam (to reduce air borne spread of virus). They say necessity is Mother of all inventions’....or Changing’ old ways! Have to admit as much as ... Rubber Dams( raincoat wrapped around tooth with a clamp) were fiddly when I started using them in April, when restrictions started( more than just during root canal)....it gets easier to apply with some trial and error and practice! But so much more efficient for isolation and moisture control for General dental procedures like composite fillings. Will definitely continue using rubber dam more often, even when restrictions are lifted..... This has been an unprecedented and uncontrollable circumstance.... wherein we have had to delay and postpone our usual general, cosmetic and orthodontic procedures and significantly reduce our hours of work.... like most Small businesses during this lock down. It has been hard for all of us.... but focusing on little wins’ and positives. Learning to balance work and family and relearning and mastering old skills. Looking forward to little bit of normalcy, hopefully in 6 weeks.... See more

18.01.2022 Emergency Dental during Level-3 restrictions! Although we have had to pause our general, orthodontic and cosmetic treatments..... still remain open for emergency dental! In this case broken tooth restored to relieve -hypersensitivity to hot and cold, -smoothen sharp edges of tooth cutting into lips and tongue - and prevent further damage during 6 weeks of dental restrictions ........ All whilst taking recommended and necessary infection control precautions such as -1 minute peroxide mouth rinse -and rubber dam when using aerosol.....
