Accidents happen, and dental trauma is something we see more regularly than you might think here at Courtney Dental. More often its trauma from sports and physical activities that brings patients to us, holding their tooth in their hand and with a sore bruised mouth. What should you do if you suffer trauma to the mouth. Read below for more information. 

Occasionally our staff  here at Courtney Dental have to make the time to attend conferences and courses related to dental education. This is called continuing professional development (CPD) and it is how dental practitioners maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge, expertise and competence, and develop the personal and professional qualities required throughout their professional lives.

This applies to all dentists, dental specialists, dental hygienists, dental therapists, oral health therapists and dental prosthetists.

Dental practitioners are required to complete a minimum of 60 hours of CPD activities over a three-year CPD cycle.

All our staff at Courtney Dental, including our assistants and reception staff strive to maintain a higher level of education so we can provide our patients with the bet care and treatment possible. 

We love nothing more than a fresh, bright healthy smile here at Courtney Dental. If you have ever been interested in whitening your teeth or changing the aesthetics of your smile ask us at your next appointment for more information and to see whether you are a suitable candidate. 

 The theme for this years oral health week was 'Keep your smile for life'.
