On the 3rd May 2011, we were lucky enough to have training from a Specialist Periodontist, Philip Ower, at our team day. He talked us through his consultancy work and the patient treatment that he carries out at his own practice. He also advised us on patient care and oral hygiene instruction with a view to defining our own periodontic protocol, which will implement his advice.
"Periodontics deals with the supporting structures around the teeth - the roots of the teeth, the gums and the underlying bone."

Dr Richard Morgan, principal at Dentistry@68, has completed his advanced training for the delivery of non-surgical Botulinum Toxin (Botox) facial aesthetic treatments at the 'Dr Bob khanna Training Institute'. Treatment areas include the forehead - frown lines & eye brow lifts/sculpting, the eyes –crow’s feet, the mouth (smoking lines) and even the armpits for excessive sweating.
The decision to attain these new skills is to be able to offer existing patients and new patients the option of having these treatments within the comfort and clinical environment of Dentisty@68.
At present we are in the process of carefully setting up these new services. We are likely to be officially launching these treatments early in 2011.
If anyone may be interested in receiving more information about these forthcoming facial aesthetic treatments please register your interest on Facebook or via e-mail at info@dentistry68.co.uk. -- so why not - Rejuvenate@68-Facial Aesthetics.
Dr Morgan received treatment himself (purely so he knew what the patient would experience of course) and the results on his forehead and around the eyes are truly fantastic - his wife cannot believe he has received Botox before she has!!
