  • Ray Steggles has designed  a new medicine, combining an antibiotic with edible plant substances, which are formulated as a paste used for treating advanced periodontal disease. Early results are remarkable with previously loose teeth tightening and restoring biting. It has been designed to overcome the normal resistance shown by bacterial biofilm to antibiotics. The plant substances interfere with bacterial communication, confusing them so they absorb the antibiotics, which kill them. Once the bacteria are removed healing takes place more effectively than has been previously achievable.
  • You may have heard in the news about theoretical risks of passing vCJD from infected root-canal instruments and new guidelines issued by the Department of Health to not re-use the instruments on other patients. You can be assured that all root-filling instruments are not re-used, and at this practice this has been the case for many years.
