Are you too embarassed to smile ?

Did you know that it wasn’t until recent years cosmetic dental treatment became a popular option? For years talking about teeth was seen as voodoo and an uncool topic of conversation.

Words frequently used to describe going to the dentist are “scary” “uncomfortable” and “stressful”. Did you know that feeling this way about the dentist is actually quite common? This type of experience is what is described as a “dental phobia” or in other words, fear of the dentist or teeth itself. Dental phobia can have a bad affect on a person mentally and physically. Normally it’s started from a bad experience from childhood, either at the dentist or from bullying. Poor thoughts of teeth can stop a person from attending normal examinations and hygiene appointments and stop them from smiling, or cause avoidance of social situations, and can even stop a person from getting a career of their choice.

It was by chance that we came across this amazing range called Beaute Pacifique. We were kindly given samples and after a few days we were hooked! Although the small pots were actually enough for a couple of weeks of treatment- we were devastated when they were finished and already shopping for more.
When we find something we love we want to share it with our clients and so we are now very excited to introduce the entire Beaute Pacifique range into both the Aviemore and Grantown Clinics.

We have been lucky enough to meet with the Beaute Pacifique team now on a few occasions and their passion for the range is unbelievable. Denise, Shirley and Andrew live, sleep and breath Beaute Pacifique. So who better to tell you a bit more about the range, the science behind it and the proof in the pudding, the skin scanner but Andrew from Beaute Pacifique…….. (more…)

Hello and Happy New Year from Fay – a new team member at Your Perfect Smile Dental Clinic

Well, hello!

First things first, I would like to wish everyone a ‘Happy New Year’! I hope you all had a cheerful, festive period with the ones you love.

Some of you  might have noticed that I am the new addition to Your Perfect Smile, primarily in Grantown on Spey. For the past couple of months I’ve been learning the ropes of managing the patient lounge and looking after the clinic, occasionally popping over to Aviemore to see how Kerry manages the practice there.

With all honesty, I’ve never worked in the medical industry before, I’ve always dreamt of it – never had the courage previously to apply for it though. Needless to say it was a huge surprise that I was successfull in obtaining the job! The past couple of months have been a huge learning curve for me, it still seems bizarre even now that I’m throwing words like ‘anxiolytic’ around first thing in the morning. Does it bother me in the slightest? Not at all. This is a refreshing career change that has not only provided something to look forward to but the opportunity for challenge and development. (more…)

2014, you’ve been great- Bring on 2015!

It seems like no time ago at all we waved goodbye to 2013 and were setting ourselves up for what 2014 was going to bring. And what a good year it was!

First and most importantly we have continued to build relationships with our clients and deliver world class dental care.
As well as our long-standing clients we have welcomed hundreds of new ones, thinking about treatment and choosing us to create their new smiles!
Introducing teeth straightening to our services attracted many new clients from the Highlands, Moray and beyond and it’s really great experiencing their journey with them. Seeing them every week for their refresh and review appointments, sharing their excitement at the progress of their treatment really does make it very rewarding for us. (more…)

It’s been busy busy busy at both clinics lately and a few changes going on so we thought we’d give you a brief catch up!

The team were at the MFR Wedding Experience in Elgin last week. Over 1000 people attended and it was great meeting so many brides, grooms and wedding-goers.
We talked to lots of people who had already been thinking about some smile makeover magic for the big day but also lots who hadn’t even considered it until chatting with us at the event last week. We run a competition on the day and Elaine Mair won the ZOOM Laser whitening that was up for grabs.

Dr Simon was away at some implant training over at Loch Lomond last month which meant he got to see parts of the country he hasn’t visited before.
He has been invited to Italy next month to speak at an International seminar which is fantastic and something he is really looking forward too.

Are you anxious about visiting dentist but you dream about having a great smile? Or maybe you now yu need some dental work done but anxiety overpowers you?

Being afraid of dentist means different things to different people. For some people it’s fear of needle, drill, pain, sounds or smell. For some idea of visiting dentist brings back memories of bad experence in the childhood.

If you feel this way then we have a solution for you! Its called Dental sedation.

You brush your teeth for how long ?!

Apparently a woman will spend 136 days getting ready, comparing to just 46 for a man. We will spend 5 months of our life complaining, 115 days laughing and 26 years sleeping!
It got me wondering how long we spend brushing our teeth.

If you brush your teeth for twice a day, for the recommended 2 minutes a time that’s 4 minutes a day, in a year that’s 1460 minutes. Lets put this into perspective, that’s a little over 24 hours…. a whole day brushing your teeth every year.

Now assuming you started brushing your teeth right from the start, say 6 months, and are lucky enough to keep your own teeth until you are say 80 years old, (with our help hopefully forever) that’s 80 entire days you will spend at a sink brushing your teeth!!!

So with all this time invested in brushing your teeth, you better make sure you’re doing it right! And that’s a lesson for another day 😉

Don’t forget your toothbrush!!!

No, we’re not talking about the 90’s Saturday night TV show hosted by Chris Evans. We’re talking about how it’s getting near that time, kids are breaking up from school, lot’s of things are happening and many of us are thinking about jetting off for some sun, fun, sea and maybe some sangria?!

Millions of us take to the skies this time of year but how many of us even think about what might happen if they have an emergency when they’re away? Particularly a dental emergency! While we can’t promise this wont happen to YOU we can give you some advice to hopefully minimise the chance of this happening and ruining your well earned holiday. (more…)

Sitting, watching “The Dentist” on ITV tonight.  Shocking is the word which comes to mind.

Do people really think its ok to have rotten teeth?

It is a well known fact that Brits are known in the world for having bad teeth. Watching a direct action from Manchester Dental Hospital makes me think no wonder they have such a reputation. This documentary proves it is all true.

How on earth is it supposed to change any time soon if parents are not bothered by kids diet, lack of toothbrushing and kids rotten teeth which are ending up with multiple extractions. (more…)
