About Me

I've always looked after my teeth - I tihnk it gets drummed into you by your parents. Or not, if you're unfortunate. Because you can quickly tell those who weren't told to look after their teeth by their parents - the mouthful of metal fillings is a dead giveaway.

Sure, I've got a filling or two just like most people. But I don't have dozens, which I'm very thankful for now I'm older.

That's the sad thing about a lot of dentist work, it's totally preventable. The vast majority of fillings could be avoided completely just by a little care in brushing our teeth well, and avoiding mountains of sugary junk food and drinks.

That's not to say all dentistry is avoidable. Definitely not. Dentists are geniuses at making our smiles look better, helping keep our mouths in healthy condition and preventing minor conditions becoming serious. So make friends with one you like, and go see them regularly.

Anyway - here I'll be exploring the world of teeth, dentistry and all things toothy.

Did you brush today?
