At mydentist, we believe that great oral health starts early. The habits children develop in their formative years set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. However, ensuring that kids maintain good dental hygiene isn’t always easy – many parents or carers struggle with making brushing engaging, preventing cavities and teaching their children to recognise oral health issues. 

Your teeth and gums do more than just help you chew and smile - they can also provide vital clues about your overall health. Dr. Nyree Whitley, Chief Clinical Officer at mydentist, explains how certain dental symptoms could indicate underlying health concerns and why regular check-ups are essential. 

At mydentist, we know that balancing a career in dentistry with a busy home life can be challenging. But we also believe in the importance of helping our team develop both professionally and personally. So much so, that one of our core values is: we grow together.  Dr James Madeley is a Clinical Development Advisor (CDA) at mydentist, but he’s also a passionate sea swimmer! Having set himself a personal challenge to push his limits, his experience in the water has changed the way he approaches life and work, showing how small daily goals can make a big impact.

At mydentist, we’re investing more than £50 million every year in growing our practices, supporting our teams and building state-of-the-art facilities equipped with the latest technology. As part of this commitment, we’re merging and relocating practices to create modern spaces that offer outstanding patient care and an exceptional experience for both patients and our practice teams.   One of the latest practices to benefit from this investment is mydentist Digbeth, Walsall, a brand-new, purpose-built practice that’s set to open in the coming months. With cutting-edge technology and a welcoming environment, mydentist Digbeth, Walsall, will ensure patients have access to the highest standard of care in a modern and comfortable setting.   

In December 2023, mydentist St Benedicts Court in Huntingdon opened its doors after a £1.4 million investment. The move to this purpose-built unit marked a new chapter for our team and patients, as the practice opened with seven state-of-the-art surgeries, fully equipped to offer an expanded range of treatments and services. We visited the practice team at mydentist St Benedicts Court, Huntingdon, a year on, to talk about the effect the investment has had not only on them, but also how it has transformed our patients’ experience.  

If you’re undergoing Invisalign treatment, you already know how important it is to follow the guidelines for wearing and caring for your aligners. But what about your coffee habit? Many of us rely on a cup of coffee (or two) to get through the day, but drinking coffee with Invisalign requires a little extra attention to ensure your orthodontic treatment stays on track and your teeth remain healthy.
