Many folk in central Leeds often see a dentist who is one of those important characters in your life that’s soul sole role is to check for problems in your mouth and help patch you up should you find yourself in a bit of a pickle. Yes, they will do all of this and very well too, but modern dentistry has evolved massively over the past 50 years and dentists no longer just care for your teeth, they care for you and your body too, and on all subjects. On a cosmetic basis, teeth and gums aside, a dentist can help you with your face and iron out the wrinkles caused by ageing, with BOTOX and dermal fillers, but they go even deeper than this these days. ‘New-age’ dentists can help you overcome any phobias you may have that prevent you getting treatments that are vitally essential in the health of your mouth and body. You can also talk to your dentist about your lifestyle: diet, oral hygiene, even giving up smoking are just some of the topics that your dentist can help you with to keep your mouth and body healthy. Always take time out and chat with your dentist about anything that you may have worrying you, in all aspects of your life- you may be pleasantly surprised by what you hear.
