The Clinical Advisory Board is an important part of our commitment to building a clinically led and inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute to the future of dentistry. Through this group, we ensure that the voices of clinicians, dental nurses and wider clinical teams are represented at every level of decision-making. It’s one of the many ways we bring our People Values – We Respect Each Other, We Grow Together, We Achieve as One – to life across the organisation.  By listening to the insights and lived experiences of our teams, we can continue to shape a workplace where people feel supported, recognised and inspired to deliver the best possible care for patients. The Board’s growth reflects our long-term commitment to clinical collaboration, transparency and shared success. =

While it’s inevitable that Halloween brings its share of sugary indulgence, it’s important to balance the treats your children eat with healthy, tooth-friendly options when packing your child’s lunchbox this spooky season.   We spoke to our Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Nyree Whitley, to get her advice on looking after your children’s dental health, her top tips for avoiding the worst offenders and the small changes parents can make to create fun, festive snacks that promote good oral health this Halloween.  

As the UK’s leading provider of dental care, an important part of our work at mydentist is encouraging good oral health practice in our patients, ensuring that their teeth and gums are well cared for and their oral health is maintained.   This World Heart Day, we wanted to discuss research linking the health of your gums with the health of your heart. Join us as we explore gum disease and the importance of a consistent oral health routine in limiting the impact poor gum health can have on your cardiovascular health and well-being.

With The Great British Bake Off returning to our screens, many of us will be inspired to dig out our mixing bowls and create our own showstopping treats at home.  One person who knows the joy of baking all too well is Dr Laxmi Hegde, a general dentist at mydentist Bridgewater. Away from the surgery, Laxmi has built a reputation as the practice’s very own ‘star baker’, delighting colleagues, friends and family with her spectacular cakes and cupcakes.
