HEALTH & BEAUTY AROUND TOWN Time for a
Whilst you’re doing a spring clean of the house, give your smile some TLC with a professional deep clean for a fresh start this spring. At Green Square, they are pleased to welcome their new dental hygienist and therapist, Abbey Ashley, who is working alongside their team of dentists to offer preventative dentistry to patients who want to preserve their shining smiles.
spring clean?
This year, Friday 20th March marks the beginning of spring - and it’s also World Oral Health Day - so why not pledge to spruce up your dental routine with the help of Green Square Dental Centre.
Tooth loss due to decay is almost entirely preventable by keeping on top of your oral health care routine at home and making regular visits to the hygienist for professional cleaning to remove tartar build-up that brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. Abbey graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2013 before going on to achieve certificates in Oral Health Education and Dental Sedation Nursing.
Before joining Green Square, Abbey undertook two voluntary dental missions to Cambodia with the charity Dentaid where she provided much needed treatment and education to vulnerable children and adults from deprived populations – most of whom had never seen a dental professional before and suffered from dental disease and pain.

‘‘There is no heat generated, no squeaking noises or vibration, and no mess; Airflow® simply uses the power of air, water and sodium bicarbonate to restore sparkle with immediate results after just one session.’’
Along with providing dental fillings, Abbey also treats patients using the latest Airflow® and Perioflow® technology – a step up from your standard scale and polish.
Airflow® is a great way to refresh your smile by gently removing persistent stains and plaque to reveal the brighter enamel underneath.
Unlike a scale and polish, there is no contact with teeth meaning there is less discomfort, particularly in those with sensitive teeth. There is no heat generated, no squeaking noises or vibration, and no mess; Airflow® simply uses the power of air, water and sodium bicarbonate to restore sparkle with immediate results after just one session. While it doesn’t lift the tooth colour like dental whitening does,

it does remove discolouration that habits like smoking or drinking tea and coffee leave behind. Due to it just using controlled streams of water and air, it is also a safe and effective treatment for those with implants, bridges, crowns and veneers. Using the Perioflow® attachment, Abbey is able to get into all the nooks and crannies of your mouth for the most superior clean.
Along with leaving your smile gleaming again, therapies like Airflow® also help treat gum disease, reduce gingivitis and prevent periodontitis which can be harmful in the long-run to not only tooth loss, but also increase the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and some cancers.
As a qualified dental hygienist, Abbey can offer her patients advice on how best to look after their teeth and gums, including dietary tips and thorough cleaning techniques. If, during her direct access appointments, Abbey determines that secondary treatment is required, the dental team at Green Square are equipped to deal with all manner of problems. This year, the team are also joined by their newest dentist, Joby Sike-Sheard who brings with him a keen interest in general dentistry and endodontics – or root canals – which he is currently completing a master’s degree in.
Joby is known for his high standards of patient care, particularly with those who have

anxieties around coming to the dentist. His calming manner helps put you at ease so that treatment can be carried out in a relaxed, stress-free environment as quickly and effectively as possible. No matter what your
