Patients Near Ealing; Have A Winning Smile For The Great Christmas Pudding Race

06-12-2013

On the 1st December, crowds of enthusiastic fundraisers dressed in elaborate costumes will descend upon Covent Garden Market. It’s the 32nd Great Christmas Pudding Race, an event which sees participants manoeuvre an idiosyncratic obstacle course, all the while struggling to hold on to a Christmas pudding. The race is a great way to raise money for Cancer Research, but it’s also an opportunity to show off your Christmas themed outfit – and no look is complete without a perfect set of teeth.

Get rid of those stains

If you’re a smoker, red wine drinker or caffeine addict, chances are your teeth are not without a few unsightly stains. Thankfully this can be easily remedied with a visit to a dental hygienist at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing. For the majority of stains, all that is needed is a thorough clean to restore your teeth to their original white glow. We can get rid of plaque and tartar by using the techniques of root planning and scaling. This not only improves the appearance of teeth but is also hugely beneficial to their overall health, and that of your gums. Regular trips to a hygienist are crucial in preventing damaging (and costly) problems in the long run.

Air Abrasion

For tougher stains, you might also benefit from an innovative new technique known as air abrasion. Rather than drilling away stains and decay, the air abrasion treatment simply blows them away. We do this by directing a fine stream of aluminium oxide powder onto the teeth. The stains on your teeth, and in the gaps between them, are easily lifted away, revealing a clean, smooth, white surface underneath. Afterwards, you’ll be able to run around Covent Garden with a massive smile on your face!
