Great South Run Fundraising Update

The Absolute running team raised over £1000 for Cancer Research UK - a charity that means a great deal to each of us. Hopefully their efforts will make a difference in the lives of someone who needs it. We would like to express great thanks and appreciation for all those who supported us and this very worthy cause. Sore feet and knees aside, Rachel was so overwhelmed by the experience she is looking forward to a similar challenge next year... Well done guys, from the rest of the Absolute team who supported you from our armchairs!

Make an 'Absolute' Difference

As a hygienist I take on a new patient as a challenge, especially someone who has never seen a dental hygienist before. Someone who, until seeing a dentist doesn't have any idea they have gum disease and how, if left untreated could lead to ongoing problems throughout life and could lead to the loss of otherwise healthy teeth.

I have recently seen a new patient who thought they had brushed well and had a good routine of looking after their teeth - not so...

Poor oral hygiene, bad breath, teeth looking dull with a coating of plaque and bleeding gums. But the most wonderful thing of all is that with guidance and treatment from Sarah one of our hygienists this young patient now has a better understanding and is now able to implement a thorough oral health routine on a daily basis to make a real difference.

A follow up appointment after two weeks with Denise our Oral Health Educator ensures these patients are able to use all the products effectively, help with any difficulties and to answer any questions they may have.

A difference that the patient has noticed... mouth feels fresher, gums are no longer bleeding and has since been into the practice and thanked the team for making a difference.

With a well established daily oral health routine, using all the essential equipment, hygienist appointments as prescribed by the hygienist and dentist will help maintain good foundations for the teeth and help keep them for life.

CosMedix Peels and Products. These are revolutionary skin enhancement therapies using Nobel Prize winning CosMedix peels and products. These treatments do not cause unsightly peeling or discomfort associated with chemical peels, and their results are immediate.
Unlike acid peels, CosMedix peel treatments change the skin from the inside out - without skin trauma - and give instant improvement in skin health and appearance. After only one treatment skin feels smoother because these products 'communicate' with your skin, telling it how to repair itself. CosMedix therapies offer patients the opportunity to have their skin's health and vitality restored with specific rejuvenation processes that address all common skin problems such as hypersensitivity, sun damage, acne, rosacea, lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation/melasma, dry or oily skin and enlarged pores.

Wrinkle Relaxing Injections. Deep wrinkles such as crows feet and frown lines are caused by overactive muscle movement which gradually wear away the collagen in the skin, causing the skin to sink and wrinkles to appear. The Treatment Botulinium toxin, is used to reduce muscle contraction by injecting it directly into the wrinkle. It temporarily relaxes the muscles thus softening existing lines. The result is a more youthful look. This treatment has been used to treat over 1 million patients worldwide for more than 11 years.

...'I have received so many compliments on my complexion since the face peel and my continued use of CosMedix products. I just had to write and tell you that I cannot praise the procedure and the products highly enough. It has certainly been gain without pain! My skin is better than it has been for years'

Absolute Beginnings

Two months have passed since I started my Trainee Dental Nurses position with Absolute Dental. Within this short time I have learnt so much, from Health & Safety, through to nursing skills.

All of the team have already helped me progress so far and they couldn’t be more willing to help me succeed. I attend the Absolute Dental Training course run by Diane Cox here at Absolute with the other students on Wednesday evenings. I have consistent support from my tutor, Diane and the rest of the team. I feel very lucky to have such hands on training support, which leads me to say I am delighted to have found this professional and friendly practice.
