Wednesday, 20 July 2011

As part of National Smile Month, which ran from 15 May to 15 June, members of Stradbrook’s dental team, Rachel and Zena, have visited a number of local primary schools giving talks to Year 3 pupils about how to take care of their teeth. Most recently they visited St Stephen’s and Long Mead Primary Schools, both in Tonbridge, helping pupils to understand the importance of diet in preventing decay and how good dental hygiene contributes to their overall health.  As well as explaining about hidden sugars in the diet, they talked about the effects of acidic erosion – the main culprits being any carbonated (fizzy) drink (even sparkling water) and fruit juices. It’s important to either cut down on these or drink them through a straw to bypass the teeth. Rachel and Zena are scheduled to visit Fosse Bank and Cage Green Primary Schools later this month.

Stradbrook Skin welcomes Dr Anita Hazari and Dr Pietro Farro   

Dr Anita Hazari

We are pleased to welcome Dr Anita Hazari, Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon to our growing team of dermatologists and skin experts. Stradbrook Skin is now able to offer minor cosmetic and medical surgical procedures including eyelid reduction and earlobe correction. Anita is one of only 480 Plastic Surgeons in the UK registered with the General Medical Council as a Specialist in Plastic Surgery. It would be extremely difficult to find someone with Anita’s credentials in ‘chain clinics’ and Anita’s appointment confirms Stradbrook’s commitment to provide services from only the most well qualified medical/skin experts. Anita is available for consultations and treatments on Monday afternoons and evenings.

We also welcome dermatologist Dr Pietro Farro who has joined us since Dr Rowena McKenzie went on maternity leave. Dr Farro has more than 10 years’ experience in dermatology and laser treatments. He qualified and practiced in Naples, Italy and now divides his time between working as a Consultant Dermatologist in Italy and in private practice in the UK. His decision to join us at Stradbrook Skin was made because we are one of the few clinics in the UK to own the world famous Palomar laser and IPL system. Dr Farro is available at the clinic on Wednesdays.

And finally we extend our warmest congratulations to our consultant dermatologist Rowena and her husband on the birth of their first baby, Benjamin. Both Mum and baby are thriving. Rowena will be returning to Stradbrook Skin in October.
    
Stradbrook Skin’s Open Day -a huge success

Stradbrook Skin’s Open Days are proving very popular.  The most recent was held on 8 June and saw the launch of Stradbrook Skin’s new VIP Members Club entitling members to a 10% discount on our range of treatments and products over a 12-month period - for just £50.  Additionally VIP Members will have priority booking for taster sessions and consultations at our Open Days throughout the year. While the discount excludes our beauty and sports therapy treatments regular clients will potentially make huge savings on their treatment regime and products over the year’s membership.         
    
Stradbrook Dental appointed by Warwick School of Dentistry for Post-graduate dental implant training

Stradbrook has been appointed by Warwick School of Dentistry, part of Warwick Medical School as an education and training centre for the further postgraduate training of qualified dentists in dental implant techniques. Dentists will perform live surgical training at our state of the art Dental Implant Centre in Lyons Crescent. Stradbrook is renowned for its specialist dentistry marked by Stradbrook winning the UK Dentistry Award for Best Practice in the South-East last December. Mark Haswell who was one of the first dentists in the UK to qualify in dental implantology will also lecture on a Masters course via a live link over the internet.


        
    
Stradbrook Dental offers graduating students free first consultation and check up


Stradbrook is lending a helping hand by offering graduating students their first consultation free of charge.  Many students feeling the financial pinch cut their dental health check-ups after years of regular visits throughout childhood and adolescence. We think it’s a shame that after establishing good dental discipline that this may slide because finances are tight. We don’t want to see anyone’s dental health deteriorate and want to actively encourage continuing preventative check-ups for young people getting started in their careers.
