Great afternoon with team at the Academy DOME with 10 brilliant Y9 students from St Peter’s Academy, Fenton⚽🦷
We chatted all things dentistry — careers, healthy smiles, confidence, self-respect, and inspiring others to make healthier choices. The boys got fully involved in the interactive workshop and honestly impressed me with their dental knowledge… definitely some future dentists (as well as footballers!) in the making 👏😁
Today’s winning tactics:
🪥 Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
🚫 Spit out but don’t rinse after brushing
🥤 Swap sugary drinks for sugar-free options
💧 And drink more water to keep teeth healthier for longer
Who knew oral health and football teamwork had so much in common? Strong defence wins every time 😄 .nhs

Team effort for National Smile Month 🦷💙

The Keep Stoke Smiling Wellbeing Wagon has been out sharing important oral health messages with our community — from brushing twice a day, spitting not rinsing, cutting down on fizzy drinks, stopping smoking, and remembering to visit your dentist every 6 months.

A huge thank you to Shepherd PR, Colgate, Biddle Pharmacy, and Jill Allbutt at Brilliant Brushes for supporting us and helping spread the message that kids’ teeth matter.

Together we can keep Stoke smiling 😁

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month ☀️

Your skin tells your story—protect it.

✔️ Check your skin regularly for new or changing moles
✔️ Wear SPF 30+ every day (yes, even in the UK!)
✔️ Seek shade during peak sun hours
✔️ Don’t forget easy-to-miss areas like ears, scalp, and the backs of hands

Early detection saves lives. If something doesn’t look right, get it checked.

The Team laced up their trainers this morning to raise awareness about dental health and encourage people to look after their teeth 🦷 🪥 We were joined by members of team who do a great job delivering workshops to schools in our city, and promote oral health at roadshows and community events 👌🏻🤩 Big thanks to Biddulph Pharmacy who sponsored our fabulous T-shirts, kindly printed by Jamie and his team . was certainly the place to be this morning….sunshine, exercise, and maybe a couple of take home messages about teeth.

📣 News Alert!
This week we’ve enrolled our first two patients into an exciting national project we’re taking part in at .nhs 🙌
Led by the British Orthodontic Society and the British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, this study explores how patients feel about their teeth and bite before and after combined orthodontic and surgical treatment.
We’ve proudly been collecting our own patient feedback for nearly 10 years (huge thank you to all our amazing patients who’ve completed our questionnaires 💙), but being part of this national project means we can contribute to something even bigger—using valuable patient-reported outcomes to help advance orthodontics and orthognathic surgery across the UK.
A big thank you to everyone who has signed up so far, and to those considering taking part in the coming months—we truly appreciate your support!
