Smiling About Dentists

Hi. I'm Sally Hutchinson. Thank you for visiting my little blog. As a former dental nurse, I keep up with all the latest methods and technology associated with dentistry. While my friends are reading gossip magazines, I'm just as likely to be perusing a dental journal for an article on gum disease. You might assume that I look after my pearly whites, but I actually have a dreadful sweet tooth. I've also been known to fall asleep after drinking red wine without cleaning my teeth! The upside is that I get to visit my dentist and check out all the new, shiny equipment. I am the only person I know who gets excited about dental visits. I hope this blog can help you to look after your teeth and keep you up to date with modern dental techniques. After all, a beautiful smile really can brighten up someone's day.
