27/1/2005 January 2005 Tooth Whitening - Our Patients Story 2004 was a very special year for Kim, a patient at JM Dental, as it was the year she planned her dream wedding. Part of Kim’s preparation, like any other bride to be, was ensuring she planned ahead and devised a plan to look her best on the day. This included hours of shopping for the right dress ,planning to ensure her chosen look and feel of the day was delivered and then nearer the time a countdown plan to looking fantastic for the big day. She organised the usual things, nails, hairstyle and tan and she decided she wanted her teeth to look amazing on the day - so she asked us about tooth whitening. Everybody wants a perfect smile and like Kim, one of the many problems that can affect your smile is the colour of your teeth. The whitening that JM Dental offers is a very successful method of whitening and it does not damage or harm the enamel of your teeth whatsoever. And, don’t forget, there are no injections, no drilling, ‘no pain - just gain’. Kim achieved her smile in just two weeks of intensive home therapy, or she could have had an in surgery treatment and just a few days of home therapy. Either way, the results are always fantastic and Kim realised the best day of her life I’m sure you’ll agree a great smile to go with it.

Specially prepared stem cells will be implanted under the gum where a tooth is missing. A small ball of cells capable of growing into a new tooth will be implanted where the missing teeth used to be. The procedure needs only a local anaesthetic and the new tooth should be fully formed within a few months of the cells being implanted. Professor Paul Sharpe, Head of the Department of Craniofacial Development, King’s College London, is leading the effort to grow replacement teeth inside human gums. He tells the AAAS Annual Meeting in Seattle* that by understanding the genetic control of the key processes that form teeth in the embryo, the development of a tooth could be recreated in the mouth of an adult patient. The goal is to take adult stem cells, treat them in cell culture, and then transfer the treated stem cells into the gum where they will grow a replacement tooth just as happens when humans grow their original adult teeth. JM Dental care contacted the research team to find out when this technology will be available for their patients, their reply was  “Thank you for your interest in our company. I'm afraid our work is still very much in the development phase so we won't be in a position to start trials on humans for some time. While we are very excited by the interest shown by the public I think it will be necessary to manage expectations a little - the technology is not likely to be available to the public for a number of years (5+)”……………….. We wish you success with your current treatments. We will ensure that JM dental keeps in constant contact with the development of this research and even though the technology may not be available to the public for at least 5 years as soon as it is available we will be providing the service.
