A lot of parents hear ‘fluoride varnish’ & assume it's a big dental procedure, but it’s actually very quick & painless!
It’s a protective coating applied to children’s teeth with a soft brush to help strengthen enamel & reduce the risk of tooth decay!

Dentistry has a role to play in reducing environmental impact while improving oral health.
In this blog, Mick Armstrong sets out the national action we’re calling for and shares the ways we’re supporting teams to take practical and meaningful steps towards sustainability.

Thanks for the information put over. It’s nice to know that we’re all as cynical about NHS tweaks as each other and I do enjoy the fact that we can have a friendly disagreement about the performance of Labour, I think they’re doing really crap and you think really, really crap

🦷 Mark Jones to @LBC’s Matthew Wright: “In the five years we’ve been campaigning, we’ve seen at least seven different Health Secretaries come and go.
“This constant revolving door at the top explains why the 2006 contract remains broken, funding is inadequate, and the crisis has only got worse.
“Grandparents and great-grandparents who grew up with full NHS care provision — the generation that helped build it — must now look on and wonder how it’s collapsing around them.” #nhsdentistry #dentaldeserts #dentalcrisis

Dear Martin, good morning, thank you, much appreciated. Not really my award, very much a team effort, especially Laura & Sara. @TeethTeam will use the award to keep lobbying for change. Best wishes, Chris.

Had the pleasure of working alongside Shawn for a few years. A well deserved award for his tireless work to help improve dentistry for both professionals and patients
Our congratulations to @ShawnCharlwood, awarded the MBE for services to dentistry.
Shawn set out to voice his colleagues' concerns and those of the patients they serve.
He fought and won the argument that NHS dentistry was fundamentally broken.
