Do you wake up in the morning with a sore jaw or does your jaw make a popping sound? Frequent headaches? If so, you may be grinding your teeth while you’re sleep and not be aware of it!
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching, also known as bruxism, can be caused by anxiety, stress or anger.
Symptoms include:... • Headaches • Earache • Facial pain • Pain and stiffness in the jaw joint • Worn down teeth • Disruption of sleep
If you suffer from any of these symptoms, call us on 028 7134 3543 and book an appointment and speak to a dentist about treatment.

Brushing and flossing as well as visiting the dentist regularly for dental check-ups will ensure you keep your great smile, achieve whiter, brighter looking teeth and have fresh breath!
Regular cleaning will remove plaque, tartar build up from your teeth and will help remove unpleasant staining.
It’s vital to take your oral health seriously and to care for your teeth: A healthy mouth reduces the risk of other health conditions like heart disease, strokes and cancer.
... Book in for your check up now by calling 028 7134 3543

Mint anyone?
Bad breath? The most common reason for unpleasant mouth odour is caused by food remaining in your mouth after eating and drinking, where bacteria then builds up.
Food can can become stuck between your teeth, on your tongue and around the gums, where it rots and leaves the bad smell. This is why it’s so important that you brush and floss your teeth daily!
... It may be best to avoid odorous foods like onions and garlic as they absorb into your blood stream and the smell is then expelled from your lungs.
If you’re concerned about your bad breath, make an appointment with us to talk to us privately. Call us on 028 7134 3543

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We’d like to wish all our patients a year filled with happiness, success and prosperity.
We can’t wait to see you for your dental appointments in 2018!

The countdown is on! Only a few more hours until we see the back of 2017!
Whether it's a final festive gathering with family or a celebratory get-together with friends, we hope that you have a great New Years Eve!

We’re sure there’s plenty of sore heads about but let the Christmas cheer continue this Boxing Day as you gather friends and family together for more celebrations!
Ahem, now for the dentist bit:
We hope you have a great day guys but remember to spare a thought for your teeth this Christmas! The constant snacking, drinking and eating of sugary foods and drinks can make the festive holidays a terrible time for your teeth.
... Sweets, sugar-filled mince pies, acidic alcoholic drinks and fizzy soft drinks are a hazard to teeth during the holidays, so young or old, the message is the same: Please don't forget about your oral health & keep up your cleaning routine!

Merry Christmas to our wonderful patients and your families from all of us here at Aiken Dental Practice.
... Eat, drink and be merry folks!
Have a great day!

There’s only 1 week left until Christmasssssssss!
There are plenty of things to think about around Christmas - from choosing the perfect gifts to organising Christmas dinner.
Christmas jumpers, sweets, hot chocolate, mulled wine; it's the most festive time of year!
... Unfortunately, this means that we often forget to think about our oral health! Surrounded by sweet treats, rich foods and sugary drinks, it’s very important you look after your teeth. If you don’t, the consequences can be uncomfortable or possibly even painful!
There’s still time to get booked in for your check up before we finish up for the holidays, so call us on 028 7134 3543
