Colgate Oral Health Month

This September is Colgate Oral Health Month, with the British Dental Association (BDA) and Colgate partnering to raise awareness of oral health as part of everyone's overall health. 

Colgate Oral Health Month aims to inform and remind people of the importance of good oral health and to encourage communication between dental professionals and patients. 

At Longborough we are always focused on the importance of good oral hygiene and offer advice and guidance through our dentists and hygienists.

To maintain good oral health you should always:
    •    Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
    •    Try to avoid sugary snacks and drinks between meals
    •    Visit the dentist regularly

Patient feedback

At Longborough we provide feedback forms for patients so we can find out what people think about the Longborough experience. Obviously we want to know if anyone is dissatisfied so that we can put things right. But we also like to hear from patients who feel we have provided a good service. 

Here's an example of a recent anonymous feedback form, which gave us all something to smile about: 
"I think that an excellent service is provided at Longborough and the staff are very sensitive to the needs of the patient and communicate well. The practice is well organised and efficient and receptionists are very friendly and helpful. I am very happy with the service I receive." 

Thank you for your comments and we will keep working hard to ensure that everyone has a warm welcome and the best possible care at Longborough.

Charity Cake Sale - 20 July

Dental nurses Wai-wai and Sarah put in a double shift last Friday, when they organised a charity cake sale in the front garden at Longborough. The event was arranged to coincide with the Olympic Torch relay, which passed directly in front of the practice. 

The whole team got involved baking cakes and serving refreshments to the many people lining the streets of Dorking for the procession. It was a great success and we raised £114 for the charity Shooting Star Chase, which cares for local families with a child or teenager with a life-limiting condition.

Well done to everyone who helped and thank you very much to everyone who contributed.
