Hello there,
I hope you all had a great summer, this year staying in London has been amazing!
This newsletter is full of tips that have helped me personally and I hope you find them interesting. Here's what's coming up:
Do I need to floss?
What are dental veneers?
30-day sugar detox
Meditation
Do I need to floss?
This is probably the most common question we get asked. The short answer is YES.
It does not prevent tooth decay, that is down to good diet, genetics and brushing twice a day. BUT it does help to prevent gum disease, as does the use of small brushes daily between teeth. Anything you use is better than nothing - air floss, water picks, TePes etc.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are applied to the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance. They are used to close gaps, change shapes and colours of teeth and give you a nicer smile. Bow lane are one of the pioneers of ultra-thin porcelain veneers which allow a beautiful result often with no preparation to your teeth or local anaesthetic needed! James, Ilan and Zaki were trained in America in Durathin veneers.
Join the 30-day sugar detox
We all know sugar is BAD but what can we do about it? Join Bow Lane 30-day sugar detox in September to help retain your taste-buds plus the chance to win a prize. Your 'sensitivity' to sweetness can be 're-calibrated' within a week.
Not only will you be reducing your chances of tooth decay BUT you will stop overloading your liver and reduce your chance of diabetes. We want to work together to cut down on added sugar. No more than 25g (6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day. The entire Bow Lane team will be on the detox.
Please post photographs and recipes on our Facebook page and there will be prizes at the end of the month for the most pro-active people.
Get started with meditation
I know you expect me to talk just about teeth BUT I am also interested in overall health.
What I do when I wake every day helps set me up for the day. The biggest life changer for me is my morning meditation.
I started out just three minutes per day and now do ten minutes every morning when I first wake up. It helps clear my mind and get me more focused for the day. I use this free app to help:
