Hi, we are back.... we never went away really just haven't found time to tweet in a while.

Help is available if you need urgent dental care.

Dental practices are open. If you need certain types of treatment, or don’t have a dentist, you may be given an appointment at an Urgent Dental Centre.

Contact your practice or local dental helpline 0333 332 3800.

We have been running our Tuesday Group on zoom for the last year.
This week we talked about Teeth.
How do you brush yours?
Regular Toothbrush or Electric....
We think that support staff need more training about how to help people look after their teeth.

It's National Hygiene Week
You can help us by donating
Toiletries – deodorant, toilet paper, shower gel, etc
Household items – laundry liquid detergent, laundry powder, washing up liquid
Feminine products
Baby supplies

After fitting the new internal doors, we tried to clean up the mess. Only to discover the thieves had also stolen both of our vacuum cleaners.

Yep we have heard all the jokes about a clean getaway....
