Burnett Dental Group supports Colgate Oral Health Month
Colgate Oral Health Month, in partnership with the British Dental Association is a leading UK campaign for promotion of improved oral health. The theme for the 2011 campaign is
“The importance of a Good Oral Care Regime for a Healthy Mouth”, with the following messages:
- Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, last thing at night and on one other occasion.
- Just spit after toothbrushing, rinsing washes the fluoride away!
- Avoid toothbrushing straight after acidic food or drinks to help prevent enamel erosion. Chewing gum can be beneficial.
- Avoid sugary snacks and drinks between meals. Snack of fruit, nuts and vegetables are good alternatives. Use tooth friendly sweeteners such as xylitol.
- Visit the dentist regularly.
During the month of September Burnett Dental Group will be raising the awareness of improved oral health. All patients are invited to call in and view our oral health month practice display featuring a range of educational materials.
Burnett Dental Group at 8 Church Street, Cramlington welcomes new patients, children under 18 years on the NHS and adults on a private basis. To make an appointment please call reception on 01670 716671.
Colgate Oral Health Month runs throughout September 2011.

At the end of April, Olivia Newton left Burnett Dental Group in order to relocate with her family! Olivia had been with the Practice for almost 10 years. She will be greatly missed by her colleages and patients. We wish her all the best in her new job and home. All of Mrs Newton's patients have been moved to a different dentist within the Practice.
Burnett Dental Group is happy to announce that as of the start of May, Ann Millward will be working an extra morning with the Practice. Ann will now be seeing patients in the upstairs surgery on Tuesday Mornings and all day Thursdays.
Patients are reminded that as of May 2009, prices for Burnett Care and Maintenance plan have increased slightly. All members should have received a letter informing them of the changes being made. The Maintenance plan is still open to new members at a monthly fee of £13.10. For more information see the Maintenance link on our website.

Further to our last announcement, we have now had our emergency phone line cut off altogether due to the problems still not being resolved. We have also lost our outgoing line on the main phone line.
We will endeavour to maintain a normal service but for all emergencies, please now contact 01670 716671. We are actively seeking out a new company to take over all our contracts and have sent our story to Watchdog. We hope to resume a normal service soon.
