Its Sports Guard Season!

31-01-2020

If you search for gum shields or sports mouth guards on the internet you will find Sports Direct and Amazon offering many cheap options and websites such as Mumsnet endorsing these. With a significant difference in price compared to custom made sports mouth guards I can see the appeal of boil and bite mouth guards for parents. After all, we know how often young people lose things at school!

However, whilst respecting everyone’s differing financial situations, as dental healthcare professionals we have a responsibility to share our knowledge about the benefits of custom sports mouth guards with our patients and their parents.

Below are the key benefits of custom mouth guards:

it fits immediately, meaning once it is in it will form a vacuum seal and it won’t fall out or affect breathing
the thickness in custom made guards is double or triple compared to single layer for boil and bites. (The Oral Health Foundation points out that the material for boil and bites is at its thinnest where it is needed most)
children are more likely to wear them as they are comfortable to wear

Rahim and team were absolutely fantastic with my granddaughter today. She had a double extraction in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Rahim communicated details of the procedure to her with compassion and reassurance. The extraction itself was uneventful with no pain and expertly done. I would highly recommend this dentist. The dental nurse was equally brilliant, assisting in a calm and reassuring manner and providing us with all the after care procedure. Great team!

Dr Fernando did a fantastic job repairing three of my front teeth after a recent accident. He fitted me in to his busy calendar quickly, was efficient and courteous and put me at my ease on the day. After two hours in the chair the results were as good as new - everyone has since remarked they can't see any evidence of the repair! So thank you, Dr Fernando! You are highly recommended :)

Dr Pramit Patel did my implants and brought back my smile! He was always very patient and understanding and explained everything to me. Very professional. I initially signed up for the surgery’s free consultation offer that was running and I did not know what to expect but it was the best decision I made! Thank you Dr Patel!

I tried for a long time time to make peace with my gappy and uneven smile but never really managed it. After a recent change in my life I asked Suren what my options were with regard to straightening my teeth and closing some of the gaps. He outlined the options and we embarked on a course of treatment including whitening and bonding. I am SO PLEASED with the result, it has lifted my confidence and contributed to a "new me".Suren is always polite, patient and knowledgeable. He and his nurses provide a great service. Thank you to all of you!

I attended the clinic after not visiting a dentist for a very very long time due to bad experiences in the past… I chose The Walden dental clinic as I could book my appointment online, choosing which dentist I would like an appointment with, without having to talk to anyone and potentially getting upset to begin with … I had an appointment within 2 days and once I arrived and met the dentist Frederick I knew I had chosen the right place … I was not rushed and was given time to explain my fears and concerns , I was listened to and spoken to with care and understanding. Once the treatment needed was explained it was obvious that I would need sedation to cope with it, I was given the chance to go home have a think and a couple of days later we spoke and booked the appointment… I was of course apprehensive as I needed a lot of work, however I needn’t have worried .. again Frederick put me completely at ease and the sedation made the whole process completely pain free, which was fantastic as I had chosen to have all the work done in one session. I was helped to the car afterwards, as you need someone to pick you up, and received a phone call the next day to check how I was.Overall from the Reception team to the information and care given by Frederick and his dental nurse on the day, if you are a nervous patient or simply looking for a dentist I most definitely recommend The Saffron Dental Clinic.

Very caring and empathetic staff who genuinely care about their patients welfare. As a nervous patient I was made to feel very comfortable and everything was explained throughly so I had no worries. I also expressed an interest in straightening my teeth and the dentist discussing the treatment options with me, explaining exactly what each one would achieve in relation to my ultimate goal. I am very pleased with the service they have provided and am looking forward to having beautiful straight teeth. I would highly recommend them.
