Absolute Tooth Wear!

On Monday some of the Absolute Team attended a CPD (continued professional development) evening kindly sponsored by Practice Plan and the speaker was our very own Bill Beare, Specialist in Restorative Dentistry, he did an excellent presentation about tooth wear, giving excellent advice about managing different patient cases and how to overcome the hurdles faced when asking about the sensitive cases such as eating disorders and excessive alcohol intake.

Acid Erosion is something that we can see everyday at the Dental Practice and can be caused by many things. It can be found in patients with a healthy diet that include fruit juices and high fruit content, it is important to be able to spot the early signs and learn to ask the right questions to establish the cause. We are very keen to put prevention at the top of the list and help patients with home care any dietary modifications.

I found Bill a very interesting and knowledgeable speaker and I look forward to hearing from Bill again, especially seeing some of the interesting slides of before and after treatment pictures in particular! Thanks Bill.
