Swords Orthodontics wins tweet of the night at Sensodyne Senstive Dentist Awards

Well Swords Orthodontics started the year at an awards ceremony, and we ended the year at another. This time it was the IDA-Sensodyne Sensitve Dentist awards. This is voted for by patients of a particular dentist, and there are two awards - one for Ireland's most sensitive dentist and one for the most sensitive dental team.

Swords Orthodontics was a finalist for the most sensitive team, and Stephen Murray was a finalist for the most sensitive dentist. Although we didn't win, the ultimate winner turned out to have a Swords Ortho connection - Danny Collins from Docklands Dental is married to our oral surgeon, Marie O'Neill!

The awards were held at the RDS Library and the compere was Joe Duffy from RTE, who appeared to be very impressed by the winners and their compassion for their patients.

There was a surprise consolation for us though - we did win a magnum of champange for the best tweet of the night - a photo of the team from Swords Ortho dressed up for the event.

Let's hope 2017 is a great year for the practice and our patients.

What's Dracula's IOTN? Scary Teeth in fiction and the facts behind them

So, it's Halloween soon, and I thought I would do a little blog about scary teeth.

I'm going to focus on teeth that have some kind of connection to real life, rather than total monster teeth, because monster teeth could cover any kind of stretch of the imagination, and since I love to ramble on about teeth we could be here all day. I mean, that monster in the Predator movies, I think it's the Yautja, or Hish-qu-Ten or some sort of name like that, has a very interesting kind of dental setup where the jaw moves sideways as well as up and down when …
