Today at Dentastique is Tuesday and the day that our Dental hygienist, Marg works at our practice. Evey new patient during their examination receives a treatment plan from the dentist. One of the first stages of this treatment plan usually is a visit to our in house hygienist, Marg. One of our patients who is due to have a smile makeover with Dr. Abdah has arrived for their 30 minute appointment. Marg reads the prescription from the Dentist(instructions) and sets about implementing them. Usually in the form of Oral Hygiene instruction, Which tooth brushes to use (i.e manual or electric). Marg also recommends Inter dental aids such as Floss, Inter dental brushes, waterpik, wooden plastic tooth picks etc… Marg also assesses whether a mouth wash is recommended and of course Marg Scales and Polishes the teeth, either by hand or with the Ultrasonic Scalar. Normally the Hygienist recommends a six monthly visit.

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009A Patient from St Ives arrives at the surgery for a Free dental consultation
Monday, August 10th, 2009Our patient this morning had a lot of concerns about his teeth that had been bothering him since his childhood. He said that the brace that the orthodontist had made was cutting into his gums, and he took the decision to remove it himself. Dr. Abdah explained that the patient would definately benefit from Invisalign treatment. This would align the teeth making it much easier for him to clean them. The teeth would look great aswell.The patient said that both him and his wife would like Invisalign treatment but had a few concerns regarding how he would pay for it? Here at Dentastique we have teemed up with a major medical finance company to offer our patients the option of an interest FREE payment plan. Dr. Abdah has explained this to the patient. The patient will revert back to us when he has decided. In the mean time we have booked him in for a general scale and polish and a filling which is needed in the top left side of his mouth. The patient seemed very excited and keen and gone away very happy.
