Cristiano Ronaldo’s Positive Impact
On Dental Health
Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the greatest footballer of all
time, has had a much bigger impact on dental health in 21
seconds than I have been able to achieve in 21 years as a
dentist.
If you haven’t seen it, here is the
video from a press conference from
Euro 2020 last week.
Ronaldo snubs one of the tournament
sponsors, Coca-Cola, and promotes
drinking water instead. Love him or
loathe him, this simple act got the
attention of millions of people all
over the world and caused the drinks
company’s share price to fall by over
$4 billion.
This shows the immense power of athletes and celebrities as
role models to both children and adults, especially in a time
where news can be shared immediately and via many
channels.
Junk food and sugary drinks companies sponsoring both
sporting events and elite athletes has been an ongoing
bugbear of mine, and goes against leading a healthy lifestyle.
It is well known within dentistry that although athletes are super
fit and in great shape, often their dental health is very poor.
Celebrity rejection, along with the already introduced sugar
tax and ban of junk foods/drinks adverts before the
watershed, will hopefully help
turn the tide on the public’s food
and drink choices while
unhealthy items are so readily
and cheaply available.
At Brightside Dental, we’ll
continue playing our part on a
daily basis to help our patients
maintain optimal dental health.

Brightside Smile Of The Month – July 2021 Alpa was recommended to see Dr Ronit Patel at Brightside Dental by a friend and wanted to improve the look of her smile. She was getting married soon so wanted to get her treatment completed
before the wedding. Her main concerns were with the alignment and the colour of her teeth. She had previously had orthodontics as a teenager; however she was not completely happy with the result, and after losing her retainer her teeth started to move again. This is a very common problem we encounter - most of our adult teeth straightening patients had braces when younger but stopped wearing their retainers. Alpa's main issues were her crowded lower teeth, spaces between her upper teeth and the colour of her teeth. After a comprehensive assessment, Ronit identified that the spaces were caused by missing ipper second incisors on both sides. Through detailed treatment planning, we developed a solution for Alpa. The treatment combined clear aligner teeth straightening using Invisalign, Boutique home whitening, fixed and removable retainers and then composite bonding (where a coloured resin is applied to teeth) to improve the final appearance of her teeth. The whole process took nine months, afterwhich Alpa was thoroughly happy with the result and ready to get married with the great smile she wanted for the big day! Our aim at Brightside Dental is to carry out minimally invasive treatment, ensuring we maximise cosmetic outcomes whilst preserving the health of the teeth . Alpa’s case did not require any extractions, and the composite bonding did not require the use of any drilling.
