Please check the BDA web site regarding the current information on whitening your teeth without a Dentist or GDC registrant prescribing the procedure. Under the Dentists Act 1984 it is an offence for non registrants to practise dentistry.
look at: http://www.gdc.uk.org/Newsandpublications/Pressreleases/pages/Defendant-pleads-guilty-in-tooth-whiening-case.aspx
Please make sure everything is legal before you go ahead and whiten your teeth.

We gave each child a SMILEY as part of Smile Month go on to the British Dental Health Foundation web site to find out more about Smile Month there are some fantastic things to learn about!

Recent events on the football field with Bolton’s Fabrice Muamba the first response team using a defrillator show how essential it is to have one to hand. We are proud to announce that Whitehouse dental have purchased a Public Access Defibrillator. Hopefully we may never use it but if we have to it can save lives.
We had a great and informative time at the NEC last Friday. We purchased for the practice a defibrillator, childrens toothpaste (applemint flavour) designed by a dental surgeon and ……Colgate Sensitive pro-Relief MOUTHWASH! Get it here first, only launched last Friday watch out for Colgate to advertise it on the TV!
We are also to be found on the BDHF website launching Smile Month, and Charlotte was a winner at one of the stands! She walked away with an i-phone player!
Do you send your Dental Surgeon a thank you card? Our Patients do! We seem to get a new Thank you card through the post every week. We are very grateful to our patients who send us some lovely messages of thanks. 
They are really appreciated.
Don’t be surprised if the dentist asks about your lifestyle! Stress, Alcohol and Cigarettes all have a direct effect on your Oral health. Grinding your teeth at night can cause a tremendous amount of damage – alcohol and cigarettes can increase Oral Cancers, so please talk about your lifestyle to your Dentist.
