In this guide, we explore the effects of fasting on dental health and offer tips for maintaining oral hygiene during Ramadan. After all, you’ll want to keep your teeth and gums in top condition for when Ramadan ends, so you can celebrate Eid without worrying about your smile.  

In celebration of the people working at mydentist and our patients who identify as women, we’re publishing a series of blogs throughout the month of March that explore topics relevant to dentistry. These blogs will aim to celebrate the achievements of women at mydentist who are contributing their expertise to addressing oral health concerns across the UK and provide advice on maintaining your oral health through key stages of life, such as childhood, pregnancy and menopause. 

We’re excited to announce the opening of mydentist Crown Point North, Denton, located at Crown Point North Shopping Park. Opened by Practice Manager, Alison Williams, and her team of Tuesday 11th March, the newly opened state-of-art facility now houses all clinicians and staff from the previous two Denton and Hyde mydentist sites – working together as an experienced team of over 37 dentists, dental nurses, reception staff, treatment coordinators and managers. 

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!
