Posted on December 23, 2008 in Tooth grinding & Tension headaches
Many people wake up in the morning with a tension headache or migraine. This is a very common symptom of tooth grinding or bruxism.
These headaches can be frequent and debilitating. Many migraine and tension headache sufferers are unaware of treatments dentists can provide which can massively reduce or even eliminate the pain.
There are many devices out there, most of which have little scientific background. The NTI is an anti bruxism device which has been approved as the most effective method for reducing headaches and migraines by the FDA.
We have successfully used the NTI to treat headaches and migraines, to find out more call us now on 01302 325678

“Is the Six Month Smiles braces safe to use?” and “Is the Inman aligner safe to use?” are frequent questions I get asked.
Many have concerns over how fast the teeth are moved and wonder if it is safe to use. The answer to this is yes, as the Six Month Smiles braces apply very gentle forces it is very safe to use.
The major problems that occur with orthodontic or brace work is when very high forces are applied. Both the Six Month Smiles and the Inman aligner use very low, gentle forces and are perfectly safe to use.
All brace systems have their limitations, and we would be able to advise you on what would be a suitable option once a consultation has been done for you.
Many are turning to the Inman aligner and Six Month Smiles to help boost their confidence, call us now on 01302 325678 to see if we can help you too

A close friend of mine from the US is one of the world’s leading authorities on causes of tooth or teeth grinding. He has help to revolutionalise our understanding of bruxism and treatment of it’s symptoms.
Bruxism can do a huge amount of damage, which may or may not present with symptoms. The most common symptoms are tension headaches and constantly fracturing teeth and fillings. This is not normal!
Dr Boyd’s research has shown that certain types of anti grinding appliances can reduce muscle activity by over 60%. Less muscle activity, less pain! The NTI is a very discreet device which has been FDA approved as being the most effective method for reducing tension headaches and migraines.
Tooth grinding can do a vast amount of damage to your teeth, so it is imperative to intervene as early as possible. If you or a loved one suffers from headaches or tooth grinding, give us a call to find out if we can help on 01302 325678 or email us
Posted on December 19, 2008 in Tooth grinding & Tension headaches
Many people suffer from debilitating tension headaches and migraines. When you wake up in the morning with headaches over the side of your face and over your temples, this is most often caused by clenching and grinding of your teeth while you are asleep.
Headaches can often become part of everyday life and they don’t have to be. A device can be constructed to fit over your front teeth. This device, known as an NTI-tss (nocioceptive trigeminal input tension suppression system) massively reduces the amount of bite force you can apply whilst you are asleep. In essence, is helps you muscles relax. This relaxation is often very quickly followed by reduction in headaches.
If you suffer from headaches or are damaging your teeth through grinding and clenching, call us now on 01302 325678 to find out if we can help

I often get asked what can be done to produce more comfortable, more stable and more natural looking dentures. The answer is, quite a lot!
There are many factors which influence fit, function and cosmetics of dentures. We are proud to be able to offer you BPS and Gerber dentures. Both of these types of dentures have a very specific construction technique, and can make vast improvements on fit of dentures.
Whether you want white and straight teeth setting up on our denture or a more natural looking set up, we can arrange that for you. Some even requests fillings in the back teeth for an even more natural appearance, all of which can be done for you!
Dentures are designed to last 5-6 years before they need replacing. After this time, the denture base will no longer fit to your gums, even though the dentures themselves may be comfortable, they will be like a very old pair of shoes; comfortable but not doing you any good!
To find out how we can help or to discuss different denture types, feel free to call us on 01302 325678
Kindest regards

All who come in to see us at Red Sky Dental Spa become aware of our drive to provide the highest quality dentistry we can. We import the world’s best materials so that your dentistry lasts a very long time.
I also aim to keep myself trained to an exceptional level. We very frequently see patients who have done some dental tourism and had work done cheaper abroad.
May I say that I have many friends who are dentists abroad, and they provide world class dentistry. I would happily see these people myself, but they are no cheaper than a quality dentist from the UK.
I see some dentistry which is of decent quality but my main concern is when there has been a lot of dentistry done to a less than satisfactory standard. It takes a huge amount of planning, effort and expense to correct some of the major problems I am more and more frequently seeing. More and more of my time is spent correcting cosmetic dentistry which has gone wrong
Many of the materials we use in the UK, but not all, are available abroad, and the costs are not much less. It gravely concerns me when dentistry is available extremely cheap, as it is invariably these patients who suffer greatly with continued problems.
I am not here to stop anyone from going abroad to have work done. I simply ask you research very well and know that quality comes with a price, no matter where you are on the planet
If you have had a bad experience and don’t know where to turn for help, give us a call on 01302 325678

Gum disease is a very serious infection. There is an increasing link between gum disease and systemic diseases. The process often has very few symptoms until the final stages of the disease. The more common warning signs are bleeding gums, bad breath and loose teeth.
Bacteria, which are found in your plaque and tartar, release toxins which damage the bone which holds your teeth securely in place. It is this damage and subsequent destruction of bone which causes teeth to loosen. You can find more information on our video site
When treated early, the amount of destruction can often be limited. We also offer laser assisted gum therapy. We are having outstanding success with this advanced treatment, and are now able to keep teeth for much longer which previously would have probably been lost due to the disease.

Or “will the Inman aligner work for me?” are both common questions! The Inman aligner is fantastic at certain tooth movements but does have it’s limitations. You can see from our smile gallery or video website that the aligner offers very fast solutions for tooth straightening.
The aligner often works for those of you who have had braces before in the past and have had orthodontic relapse (more on this later!). Do remember there are other options also available such as Six Month Smiles
Contact us today to see what we can do to help improve your smile and confidence
Kindest regards
