News from Banning Dental Group

Water Flossers seem to be the latest trend in dental gadgetry. It’s no great surprise given the rising interest in dental hygiene and aesthetics, but you might wonder what the fuss is all about and whether it’s time to jump on the water flosser bandwagon. There is no denying that an annoying morsel of food, stuck awkwardly between two molars will provide hours of frantic frustration for the tongue. Even after thorough brushing you will still find remnants of your last meal wedged firmly in place, that no amount of bristles, tooth-picks or tongue thrashing will budge.
It’s not often that Brits get to bask in a true summer season at home on the motherland. As a nation we are obsessed with discussing the weather, mainly it’s unpredictability. While many of our European neighbours enjoy a clearly defined, 4 season year, we are used to a random short snap of snow in Spring and on occasion a late Indian summer running into September and October. In fact, its not uncommon to enjoy all 4 seasons in one day!
Dental Implants have rapidly become the ‘choice du jour’ for those suffering with gaps and missing teeth in recent years. It’s a fact that that dental implants are simply the closest representation of our own natural teeth that have ever existed to date. If you are thinking about having Dental Implants in London this year, you will be amongst thousands that have opted for this highly sought-after treatment plan. After all, why put yourself the misery of living with gaps in your teeth, when there is a perfectly decent solution already on the table for you? You have to remember that each of your teeth is there for a reason. The loss of even one tooth disrupts the natural harmony in our mouths, affecting our quality of life in more ways than one.
Hurrah for the warm weather, long sunny days, ice cream vans, paddling pools and picnics in the park. Summer is upon us at last and there are many reasons to be happy! Sadly, for some, the heat and humidity are just too much to cope with. Many of us Northern Europeans are just not genetically built to tolerate the rising temperatures. Our bodies have been programmed to conserve body heat during long cold winters and our homes are designed to keep us warm not cool. One of the consequences of this can be sweating excessively. At times this can be localised to specific areas of the body but in other cases it can be an all-out body meltdown. Either way, its likely to make you feel highly uncomfortable, embarrassed, socially awkward, and professionally challenged. It can interfere with everyday activities in both an emotional and physical level and can become such an inconvenience that its enough to wish summer would hurry up and end.
Just as the doom and gloom of COVID quarantine dissipates, summer is upon us! Having been hidden from the world for so long, behind closed doors, computer screens and comfy clothes, its been a while since we had to worry about our appearance. And now this happens!! The sun is shining! It’s time to dig out the shorts and swimwear, meet up with friends and family and get back into the big wide world. Even though it’s what we have longed for, during what felt like a never ending winter, it has crept up on us like a thief in the night, not allowing us nearly enough time for preparation. If you want to make the most of the fantastic summer weather, but need a little body boost in self confidence, follow our summer body hacks for quick simple ways to look and feel great again!
The population across the globe is maturing, so it is no wonder that the demand for products and procedures to fight the signs of ageing has boomed in recent years. The Aesthetic Medicine magazine reports that the global anti-ageing market is forecast to be worth £306 billion by 2030, with the average person set to spend around £1,515 on beauty treatments in 2021 alone! The pandemic has done little to dampen this trend. In fact, it has had the reverse effect. With the general population spending more time on video meetings, family facetimes and looking at themselves for hours on screen, the desire to improve the vision that they see from the neck up has only increased. A pent-up demand has been brewing over the last 6 months, with people unable to seek the advice and treatments they want to reverse the signs of ageing, due to ongoing restrictions.
We are living in times where even the most mundane of chores have revolutionised thanks to digital advances. Why hoover, when you can get a robot to vacuum your floor? Smart speakers, because god forbid, you’d have to get off the sofa to change the music! Voice controlled switches, self-cleaning ovens, remote central heating, the list goes on. There are few moments in our day when we aren’t taking advantage of some digital technology to save time and ‘improve’ our lives. It’s no surprise therefore, that in today’s digital age, where phones have practically become part of our physiological anatomy, that even dentists are going digital. This thought may conjure some bizarre ideas of AI controlled, drill wielding, Robo-docs but the reality is far less sinister. Digital dentistry is the future.
Did you know that improving your features can be a lot simpler than you might think? When it comes to improving facial features or sculpting the perfect body, nowadays there are a wide array of non-surgical cosmetic procedures available without the need to have invasive surgery.
