Aisling couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out. She said: “The difference between the two practices is unbelievable. Going from having no space at all to having a lovely staff area, a really nice waiting room and so on, is great. Everybody is just so impressed when they come and see the building. It’s really good and you realise that we’ve done the right thing.” The plan is to continue to grow the
practice – they have added 2,000 patients to their list in just two years since the move – and continue to develop the young team they have assembled. They are also
keen to build on Enhance Aesthetics, the successful facial aesthetics side of the business that Aisling started four years ago. She said: “I have undergone hundreds
of hours of training over past four years to develop my skills and we are very proud to be one of the first practices in Scotland to be awarded the ‘Treatments You Can Trust’ accreditation.” Asked if they would ever consider doing
something like this again, Aisling said: “Yeah, probably. We did wonder what we were getting ourselves into in those early days, but it has all turned out so much better than we could have expected, so we are all delighted.”

Oral-B’s dental test drive O
ral-B has introduced its Test Drive trial programme, which allows multiple users to experience Oral-B power and toothpaste using a
shared handle in a hygienic way. Dental professionals will now be able to evaluate the product before recommending it to patients. Patients will also be able to experience the product before investing in the technology. The Oral-B SmartSeries electric
toothbrush with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity is another recent innovation. The toothbrush connects to the Oral-B App recording brushing activity, which patients can then share with their dental professional, helping to create a smarter and more personalised brushing routine. Brushing duration, mode and problem zones can all be highlighted and the information easily retrieved. The mechanical benefits of Oral-B’s
power toothbrushes complement the chemical efficacy afforded by their Pro-Expert toothpaste. Gum health through effective plaque control is just one of the many beneficial features of

Oral-B’s Pro-Expert toothpaste and it’s the inclusion of stabilised stannous fluoride (SnF2) that makes the difference. This powerful ingredient gives Oral-B’s
Pro-Expert toothpaste a long-lasting antimicrobial action, which fights plaque and consequently gum problems. Laboratory and clinical studies
have confirmed that the inclusion of stabilised stannous fluoride will inhibit antimicrobial growth as well as reducing the ability of bacteria to ‘stick’ to tooth and gum surfaces.
