June Smile of the month

This month I am awarding the accolade to Chipo, one of our dental nurses.

Part of the reason for her award is that she does have a great smile, which she uses often!

It was also her birthday in June.

On June 19th, Chipo turned 30.

So Happy Birthday Chipo and keep smiling!!

Belonging

Jim gave our son Jude some pocket money for helping him in the garden yesterday.
It was eighty pence, enough to buy two packets of 'match attacks' football cards.
Jude is a Manchester United fan.
The reason for this being that his best friend at school supports Man United and has created quite a 'Man U' fan club amongst the boys who all play football together in the playground.
Jude and I walked up to the shop this evening so that he could buy his cards and he excitedly arranged them in his folder with the other cards, flicking through them to admire his grownig collection.
It made me realise how much we love to belong to something.
Jude belongs to a group of Manchester United fans at school who in turn belong to a worldwide fan club. It gives them something to identify with and follow.

At Braden Dental Care we have our membership scheme for a similar reason. Our members can feel part of a valued group, looked after by our team of dentists, hygienists and staff.

Our members know that they always have someone to turn to and will always be looked after as part of our club.

There have been a lot of changes in the way dentistry is provided, with more changes afoot and in times of uncertainty, it's good to know that joining Braden Dental Care gives peace of mind and reassurance that you have a dentist that won't change!

It's good to belong!

New sterilising room

The new sterilising room is finished!

This now gives us two fully-equipped rooms. Sterilisation of instruments in Dentistry is fundamental and the main role of the dental nurse.





This room has a section for the incoming dirty instruments which are cleaned and autoclaved and then taken over to the clean side to be re-packaged ready for use again. It's not a very exciting subject but it's so important that we wanted everyone to know that we're investing in their safety at our practice.

This was Jim's project and a job well done!
