Planning a wedding

Wedding season is here! As I am getting married this May I thought I would share my top tips for brides to be:

 

  • Don’t stress/worry what others think: Do what suits you best. I am sometimes a people pleaser and unfortunately, we can’t please everyone. In the end everything will work out so what makes you and your groom happy. Weddings are stressful enough as it is so enjoy the planning and don’t stress.
  • Dress shopping: I would highly recommend visiting a few bridal stores before saying ‘’ yes’’ to the dress. Sometimes you can get caught up in the excitement and say yes to a dress and after purchasing can regret it. So my advise is to take your time and visit more than one shop before picking your special dress.
  • Skin prep: Every bride wants that radiant glow on her wedding day. I was never amazing at looking after my skin so I booked myself in for a skin consultation with the skin boutique and the lovely staff set me up with a skin routine and some facials before the big day.
  • Your smile: I recommend keeping on top of your teeth hygiene before the big day. Regular cleans are a must and if you want that Hollywood smile a little bit of teeth whitening. Your teeth are so important- you want them to look their absolute best for all those pictures J

A concept album should really be listened to in its entirety, in a single sitting in the same way that you would watch a movie or TV show, but to be fair, Mindcrime’s songs are strong enough to stand on their own – they just ...

Steve, you can't have been happy

A few of my friends, and at least one taxi driver in Swords, know that I have an interest in watching eclipses. As in total solar eclipses. There are other kinds, but I would leave that to people that have Sky at Night on series record and own their own ...

What's the oldest you can be and still have orthodontic braces?

I did an adjustment for a patient’s braces today.

He’s 67.

I don’t think he’s my oldest patient ever but I think he’s the oldest currently in treatment with me (though he’ll be finishing soon, I expect).

Basically if you have healthy teeth and gums and want something fixed that needs orthodontics, we’d be happy to do it. If the teeth and gums aren’t healthy then we’ll advise what needs to be done and work with your dentist to achieve the best outcome.

About 1/3 of my patients are adults.
