When hay fever season hits, most of us brace for sneezing fits, itchy eyes and a runny nose – but did you know it can also affect your teeth and gums?  While commonly known as allergic rhinitis, hay fever can have a knock-on effect on your oral health, especially during peak pollen months. From dry mouth to unexpected toothache, understanding the link between seasonal allergies and dental symptoms is an important step in protecting your smile.

From viral TikTok trends to hearsay passed down through generations, dental myths can be confusing at best and damaging at worst. To help set the record straight, we caught up with Dr Nyree Whitley, Chief Clinical Officer at mydentist, to debunk some of the most common misconceptions she hears from patients when it comes to their dental health. 

Clear aligners have revolutionised orthodontic care, offering a subtle and practical alternative to traditional braces. They've become the solution for many patients who struggle with their smile – allowing for a more discreet way to straighten teeth.   But do clear aligners actually work? The answer is, absolutely, when used correctly and for the right dental conditions. In this guide, we'll explore what clear aligners are, how aligners work and the journey of treatment. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of clear aligners and how they can transform your smile.
