We will all have problems with our teeth during our lifetimes but brushing, flossing and regular visits to a hygienist to ensure good dental hygiene will keep these to a minimum   Prevention is always better than cure and this is just as true when it comes to your oral health.

Teeth whitening with a dentist is the most effective method, so we asked Northumberland Dental Care patient Lara Battigelli to tell us how it transformed her smile People often wonder if teeth whitening toothpaste or kits bought in chemists work as well as a professional treatment. Lara Battigelli, a patient of Dr Jennifer Collins, our Clinical Lead General Dentist here at Northumberland Dental Care, tells us about her results. Why did you decide to get your teeth whitened? I chose to get my teeth whitened because although my teeth were naturally white and bright, I had white spots on my teeth (self-confessed toothpaste eater as a child).

I also like carrying out precise work with my hands. Where did you study? I have a dual qualification from Dublin Dental University Hospital in Trinity College Dublin where I receive
