So, you've got dark teeth?

...and your'e wondering why?

There are two reasons:

1. You inherited the colour that you've got - its in your genes....

2. You soaked up some stains along the way. Think about it - coffee, tea, curry, glasses of merlot, passata, curry, cigarette tar - all pigmented. 

If you're lucky, you inherited lovely white teeth and you haven't got too many dietary (or other) bad habits.

But life isn't always like that , is it?

Many people want to fight back at the darkening effects of having a life by having their teeth whitened. There are now a variety of safe, proven ways of having this done, and a properly trained dental professional (perhaps a dentist, a dental therapist or a dental hygienist) can provide the treatment for you.

But beware attractive cheap illegal treatment on the back street (or here in Carlisle, in a garage!) - do you know what is being put on your teeth?

If you're interested, ask your dentist or get in touch with us....we'd be delighted to help

Hate Ice Creams or seeing the Hygienist?

....About 55.834% (unconfirmed figure...) of patients @ York Place Dental have sensitive teeth. Most of them use some form of desensitising toothpaste - but my hunch is there are loads out there who don't.

So - if you're sensitive - get some - it doesn't matter which brand you choose in most cases, just buy it on your favourite flavour. And then use it twice daily instead of your old stuff. You should feel the difference within a week.

Let me know how you get on...
