your understanding is appreciated
We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all of our patients for your ongoing patience with us during this unprecedented time in the practice.
Over the last 18 months since Dr Paddison’s accident, we have experienced an incredible amount of understanding, both from Dr Paddison’s patients who have worked with us and amended their appointment times to cater for Dr Paddison’s recovery and subsequent retirement from Medland Dental, and from all of our patients who have waited a little longer than usual to get an appointment with their usual dentist, or have perhaps been …

Healthy mouth, healthy body
For some time now dental professionals have known that there is a link between the health of our mouths, and the health of our body in general. As more time passes and more research continues that link is becoming stronger and better understood.
Many people may not be aware however, that oral infections can trigger a response in the immune system, causing inflammation in other parts of the body which can ultimately contribute to heart disease. In fact, research suggests that oral inflammation and infection can raise the risk of heart attack by up to thirteen times. This is almost twice the ri…
