At mydentist, we know that finding an NHS dentist in Scotland—particularly one accepting new patients—can still be challenging. In some areas, private care often fills the gap, with rural and coastal communities facing the greatest demand.  We’re happy to share that we have several dentists across Glasgow and Edinburgh that are able to take on new NHS patients.

When you sit down with Dr Alexanne Martin, it’s immediately clear that dentistry, for her, is about more than teeth. It’s about people, progress and finding fulfilment in work that challenges you every day — while still allowing space for balance, growth and enjoyment.

Gum disease is one of the world’s most common health conditions, yet it’s often overlooked until it becomes serious. Known as a ‘silent disease’, gum disease, also called gingivitis, or periodontitis in its advanced stages, can progress painlessly, causing irreversible damage to your teeth, gums and even your overall health. However, it is preventable and can be easily treated when it is found early enough.   That’s why awareness of gum disease matters every day, not just when you’re showing signs or symptoms of the condition. We spoke to Dr Nyree Whitley, Chief Clinical Officer here at mydentist, to get her insight into the groups of people who NEED to know about gum disease. If you fall into one of the seven groups below, you may want to pay extra attention to your oral health.

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. =
