NO SMOKING DAY 14 March 2018
No Smoking Day is an annual health awareness day in the United Kingdom which is intended to help smokers who want to quit smoking. The first No Smoking Day was on Ash Wednesday in 1984 and it now takes place on the second Wednesday in March. For this year's national No Smoking Day theme is for you to pick your
way, #TellUsYourWay and Quit Your Way!
Everyone's different, which means the way you quit smoking needs to be your choice. It's all about working out what's right for you to increase your chances of quitting for good.
You might be:
thinking of free Champix or NRT from the pharmacy looking into e-cigarettes planning to go it alone with your own willpower
You can also get expert help from the NHS. Whatever you decide, it helps to plan ahead.
Use the hashtag #TellUsYourWay to post on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and make a statement about how you're going to quit smoking.
Tell your friends and family the day you've chosen to stop smoking and how you're going to do it. Letting other people know your plans helps:
you commit to quitting your friends and family support and motivate you
Decide on your quit date and go for it!
If you haven’t quit smoking yet, here are a few dental
tips that can help address your dental hygiene problems:
Use mouthwash religiously. You want to pick a
strong formula that will zap bacteria. You also
want to make sure you swish for at least 60
seconds to kill as many bacteria as possible.
Floss every day. Flossing is one of those habits
that can quickly go out the window when you’re
tired, or if you’ve had a long day, and you’re dying
to crawl into bed. But flossing is especially vital
for smokers, as it’s an effective way to avoid the
buildup of calculus on teeth. If you notice a lot of
bleeding as you floss, it could be a sign of early
periodontal disease.
Have your tongue and gums checked closely at
your dental appointments. Let your dentist and
hygienist know you are a smoker, so they can
closely watch for signs of periodontal disease and
oral cancer. The quicker you act after detecting
something, the greater the chance of catching a
serious problem early.

“Best Care and Were Very Professional” I was very nervous going to the dentist to have my root Canal. With the experience and
care at Brightside they gave me the best care and were very professional.
I would advise anyone going to have root canal treatment done not to worry and trust
the dentists. I am now pain free and also can eat on both sides of my mouth which is
such a relief.
It also doesn’t take long and if anyone has the choice to have root canal or lose the
tooth I advice on the root canal.

“I’m Delighted with the Outcome” For a number of years, I put up with an awful smile. My front teeth were crooked and one
of them was discolouring and dead.
One of my friends had work done at the surgery and had such good results and decided
to go ahead. I’m delighted with the outcome of the treatments and many people have
remarked that it takes off me.
I like the way there is a lot of flexibility so I can fit in appointments around my job, there’s
always a lot of information given and it’s very clear what the next steps are. I’ve been
very hapy by the way I’ve been treated by the staff.

“I’ve Seen A Total Transformation in How I Feel About My Teeth” Have been terrified of the dentists for years due to some bad experiences in my youth.
Had Brightside recommended to me by a family member and I couldn’t be happier.
Have seen a total transformation in how I feel about my teeth. Everyone in the practice is
brilliant, puts you at ease and tells you exactly what is happening and why. I was
skeptical about the ‘pain-free’ promise but it is absolutely true. I had several fillings and
other work done and I didn’t feel a thing. I’d recommend Brightsdie and Dr Shah to
anyone, especially if you are scared of going to the dentists. After 5 minutes you’ll
wonder what you were ever scared of.

“My Treatment was Pain Free” Ketan is an excellent dentist for phobics like me! He was very sympathetic towards any
worries and fears you may have and every option and every stage of treatment is
explained carefully. Also it was pain free!!!
