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!

Which way up is best? Swords Ortho and the winning tweet!

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.

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.

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 ...
