Made-up of a unique 5-carbon sugar alcohol structure, xylitol inhibits the metabolisim of a number of pathogenic bacteria including Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), which have been proven to cause the formation of plaque on teeth. With 40% less calories than normal sugar, xylitol also encourages a healthy diet for children. The varied range of products from Spry, include those designed specifically for children. The Spry Toothgel for example, is fluoride-free and totally safe to swallow, while being available in different flavours. The Spry Banana Brush Kit also includes a novelty toothbrush perfect for young teeth and gums. It is essential that children be given the tools to maintain good oral health, from a young age. Combine effective products with good dental routines established from a young age, and children have every chance to enjoy a healthy life.

Dr Neeraj Puri from Integrated Dentalcare in Edinburgh worked with Tavom UK this year, to refurbish his practice. “We needed to update our practice, but a bad experience with our previous company meant we had to look elsewhere,” he says. “I am very particular about my work, and I wanted to find a company that could provide quality cabinetry that would last. “I met Pete Higson, [Managing Director ofTavom] at a dental Show and soon after we began the design process for the new practice. I was impressed at how much time Pete spent adjusting the design to fit my requirements, with fantastic attention to detail. I was even able to make last minute alterations to the design with minimum hassle, which was a huge advantage for a perfectionist such as myself! “Overall, I found Tavom did exactly what they said they would, producing outstanding cabinetry with fantastic service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!” To see how Tavom UK can transform your practice, please visit the brand new website www.tavomuk.com SDI Poladay and Polanight Poladay and Polanight from SDI are two cosmetic whitening systems that will help your patients achieve a whiter and healthier smile. Both Poladay and Polanight: • Are pH neutral which ensures the full release of the peroxide without patient discomfort • Have a high water content which reduces dehydration • Contain desensitising agents • Have a long lasting fresh spearmint taste • Incorporate special additives that minimise plaque formation This makes both systems mild enough to ensure complete comfort throughout use. The main difference between Poladay and Polanight lies in the active ingredients that are used to bleach the teeth. Poladay uses hydrogen peroxide which is faster working, for a quicker treatment. Polanight however, utilises carbamide peroxide which is a slower acting chemical that will provide a gentler whitening process. The Dental Directory is offering its customers a free box of SDI’s Poladay or Polanight for every three boxes ordered. A mild, but effective cosmetic whitening system, Poladay and Polanight will help your patients to achieve a white smile that gives them confidence.

UCL EastmanTraining in Restorative Dental Practice: “made me a far better dentist” Dr Yasser Haddadi is a General Dental Practitioner at Holmevej.dk in Denmark. He has successfully completed the Certificate and Diploma level courses in the Restorative Dental Practice programme at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute. “I started with the Certificate course and it gave so much professionally, that I decided to continue,” says Dr Haddadi. “One of the things that I really enjoyed was the fact that you could bring in your own cases and discuss them with really skilled and experienced dentists and get a qualified answer. “The Eastman has a really good reputation. I’ve nearly completed the MSc module with the Eastman and this has made it easier for me to get onto a part-time PhD programme here in Denmark, once I finish my MSc project, helping me to develop an academic career. “I would definitely recommend the course because it’s really opened up not only new career pathways for me but also made me a much more contented dentist, and a far better dentist than I was.” Forfurtherinformation,pleasecontactVictoriaBanks,ProgrammeAdministrator, on 020 7905 1251, email v.banks@ucl.ac.uk or visit www.ucl.ac.uk/eastman/cpd Big Heart Party at The Dentistry Show 2013 Tickets Now Available!
