All smiles for Swords Orthodontics at Irish Dentistry Awards 2014!

Dr Stephen Murray and the Swords Orthodontics Team celebrate at the 2014 Irish Dentistry Awards

"Bring the Glamour!"

Well, we're only just back in from the 2014 Irish Dentistry Awards, and a good time was had by all. After our success in 2013 where we made the final shortlist for Ireland's Best Specialist Practice, we were delighted that Swords Ortho was in the shortlist for four of the 2014 awards. So this year we got on our black tie gear, and headed down to Dublin's Mansion House - the prestigious venue for this year's event.

We were sharing a table with the Creative Smiles practice from Belfast, who were a very friendly bunch and very conscientious about their patient care. We were finalists in the categories for Dublin's Best Practice, Best Specialist Practice, Best Marketing, Best Website. Creative Smiles were shortlisted for two others so there was plenty of cross-border support around our table when the names were read out - even more so when they won an award for being one of the best practices in Ireland.

After the awards were given out, then the music started and much boogey followed.

At the back of the ticket to the event, there's advice to "save the date" for the Dentistry Awards 2015 - we'll be working hard in the year ahead, so see you there!

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 3...What happened next

After a busy day of orthodontic treatments, I was in the practice one evening doing some treatment planning for the patients that would be coming in later that week and the phone rang with Prof Stassen’s name on the screen.

As he does the jaw surgery and other special procedures for my patients that need them, I’d always take the call when I get it because it usually means something needs to be discussed in detail and I’ll have to make special appointments and the quicker I know what I have to do the quicker I can help my patients. In this case it was “remember ...

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 2...Our Experience at Swords Ortho

I have blogged about mouth cancer before. We had mouth cancer screening days in the practice, there was a national mouth cancer awareness day.

It’s not one of the more famous ones, there isn’t a national campaign where we wear a ribbon or a flower or have a coffee morning at work for it, but it’s certainly there in the background messing around with people’s lives. Before I was an orthodontist I used to work at the junior levels of various oral surgery departments around Northern Ireland and England and saw many patients receive treatment for it. Those patients were referred to us from one source ...

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 1...Examinations

It’s a given fact among orthodontists that every child should have an orthodontic examination by the age of 7. This is to look for healthy development of teeth, their positions in the developing mouth and the way they relate to each other. Some problems might be obvious but some are lurking unseen by parents - and the kids themselves - and require someone with an appropriate mix of experience and knowledge to detect or investigate.

Why bother so young?

The idea is that if you detect certain problems there are simple interventions (we’d call that interceptive orthodontic treatment) that might avoid a more serious problem developing, one ...
