Morereasonsto smile... www.the-skinclinic.co.uk www.the-dentalspa.co.uk According to arecent report on BBC Scotland, The “sophisticated art” of making dentures is being lost due to alack of practice because fewer patients now need false teeth. Across the UK as awhole, the number of people over the age of 70 with some natural teeth has increased from 20% to 80% in the space of 40 years. Historically the most effective way to deal with potential tooth problems would be to take people’s teeth out. Several decades ago, there had also been atrend for people to have all their teeth removed in their late teens or early 20s -even when most of them werestill healthy,to remove the financial burden in the future. In the intervening 40 years, however,wholesale tooth extraction doesn’thappen any more. Dentistry has got better and morereliable as techniques improve meaning that many dentists, having learned how to make dentures unfortunately,don’t get to practice their skills often. At the Dental Spa we arelucky to have aClinical Dental Technician working alongside
our team of
skilled clinicians. Ian Taylor is a dental technician with many years experience bringing those skills to aclinical setting. He is able to treatment patients directly,onsite, thus removing the need to send impressions through the post causing delays and instructions that get lost in translation between the dentist and remote technician. Ian makes
your dentures from impression to fitting with all the stages in between meaning the patient truly gets involved with all aspects of the final appearance.

Why making false teeth is becomingadyingart……but not

Thesuccess is even morenotewor thygiven that he hasless than 12 months experience in gravel racing underhis belt afterswitching from road racing to therougher terrainin 2022
TheKings Cupisconsideredtobe theultimatebikingfestivalfor grav el cycling. Increasing in popularity, thesport is performedona variety of off-road terrainranging from root strewn single track, gravel fire roads, hard packed mudand even sand
Pook claimedvictory overthe fi nalfew metresonthe 15.6kmtrack in KingsForest, near Bury-St-Ed munds, Suffolk, racing forapproxi mately twohours
Pook,who hasbeentrainingfor thecompetition in theShropshire Hillsand racesfor Holohan CoachingRaceTeam, wasdelightedathis success in Suffolkand knew going into theevent what to expect.“It’s a verytechnical sport, you aremaking calculations allthe time,regarding the terrainand youropponents, you need to remain very alert,”hesaid. “Withseven kilometres to go anoth er competitor took thefront andheld ahighpacewhich wasperfect as it

“The endofthe race wasveryclose andknowing thatthe sprint would be into aheadwindI lettwo guys past goingintothe last technical sectionasIwantedtocome offthe wheelinthe sprint to theline, only catching thelastone with metresto go
“I usedtoonlydoroadcycling but have movedtograveland mountain biking likealot of other people. You canraceonlotsofdifferent terrains, generallyoff roadssoawayfromcars andyou will struggle to find abetter training ground than theShropshire Hills.

It wasagood performance by Town,who were coming offthe back of abad resultagainst Char lton on theweekend Andnot forthe firsttimetheyre actedwellafteradefeatand putin agood display.
Butunfortunately, they were just unabletoholdontothe pointin the end.

“Thatiswhatwehavegot to do, andthatiswhy Plymouth aretop.”
