It's that time of year for all the Easter eggs and chocolatey treats. Remember it's always better to eat at intervals to give those teeth time to recover.

Does gas and air really work?

I don't think I can cope with injection in the gum......
Posted on 11th February 2019 at 14:40
No one likes having dental treatment. Some of us manage to accept our dentistry with the help of an injection in the gum, (local anaesthetic). Some of us however require alternative methods of pain and anxiety control. There are a number of these, which can be used either alone, or in conjunction with the familiar local anaesthetic.
At Christopher Holden & Associates your dentist will understand your anxieties and will be pleased to discuss your options. Conscious sedation is one option that helps many of our patients to accept the dental treatment that they so desperately need....

Lasers were, at one time, only seen in science fiction movies or scientific laboratories. Technology has advanced significantly; we now see lasers in use all around us, in CD and DVD players, bar code scanners in supermarkets and now in dentistry.
At Christopher Holden & Associates we have invested in the latest laser technology and can now offer a range of laser treatments to our patients.
So what is laser dentistry all about?
Here are the answers to some of the questions frequently asked about lasers in dentistry:

Jeanette, from Hungary
“My first visit to Christopher Holden & Associates was to see Mr Holden Snr, alongside my Mum, at the age of 2. I'm pleased to say 43 yrs on I still attend my check-ups every 6 months to see Dr Christopher Holden. He is a very professional and trusted dentist and his staff are extremely polite and helpful. My anxieties are soon set aside by their friendliness and the comfortable surrounding within the practice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this particular practice to anyone and even a move abroad will not deter me from travelling back for my 6 monthly check-ups.”
Whiter teeth
Posted on 1st April 2018 at 15:19
Tooth colour is genetically determined just like your hair. However teeth tend to darken with age and can also become stained. Causes of tooth staining are commonly tea, coffee, red wine, some spicy foods and tobacco.
Most staining can be removed by a scale and polish which can be carried out by a dental surgeon, therapist or hygienist. A Prophy Jet can also be used. The Prophy Jet System uses a fruit flavoured bicarbonate of soda jet to remove staining from individual teeth. This can usually be done at a scale and polish appointment.
Teeth bleaching or whitening is a more thorough and lasting way to whiten teeth.
