Our top dental blogs from 2019

Sometimes it’s handy to have useful information all in one easy-to-find place. So here’s a quick summary of this year’s top dental blogs. Our aim is to provide useful information for our patients, and also for anyone who has questions about their oral health. We also write about general health because it affects our oral health too. The posts below are those that our readers looked at the most over the year.

• We hope you find our informational posts useful. If you have any topics you’d like us to write about, then why not ask us a question?
• If you’re not a SpaDental patient yet, and you’re looking for a new dentist, then please get in touch with your nearest SpaDental practice.

Five SpaDental top dental blog topics

#1 – Fillings

• My filling fell out. What do I do?  

It’s a fact that fillings fall out, and usually at an inconvenient time. This post is very popular because it offers useful information so that you know what to do until you can get to a dentist.

A natural follow up is to read more about the type of fillings that are available:

• Which filling? Amalgam or white composite?

#2 – Keep up your NHS registration

Although not all SpaDental practices hold contracts to offer NHS care to patients, some of them do. If you’re lucky enough to have a NHS registration with a dental practice, it’s important to make sure you attend a practice regularly and don’t miss appointments.  You can find out more here:

• Look after your NHS dental registration, or you may lose it.

#3 – Dental care for children
