We’re delighted to announce that we have recently become a Green Achiever – and are the only practice in the North West to have done this.

The Green Achiever Scheme has been set up to enable companies to demonstrate their credentials to suppliers, customers and any other parties interested in green business. The award recognises the efforts of any business who have taken steps to reduce their carbon footprint.

Colin Clarke, our hygienist and Environmental Officer for the practice said,” as a team we have really worked hard to do what we can to reduce the impact we have on the environment. We have all been amazed at the difference simple environmentally friendly measures can make. We have measured our energy usage and have been astounded by the difference just turning unnecessary lighting off, and replacing the lighting for more energy efficient options has made. “

We are now aiming for our Silver Award!

We recently hosted our charity Ladies Night at the Holiday Inn earlier this month, and were delighted with the response we received from our female patients and guests.

Our exclusive Ladies Night was set off with a fizz with a glass of pink bubbly as the guests were welcomed by Michael and the reigning Miss Bolton, and patient of the practice, Miss Kristina Long.

The event was sponsored by leading local businesses including Fletchers Opticians, who brought with them a selection of their designer frames and sunglasses, and Zest, who had a tantalising display of treats from their delicatessen. DB3 had an exciting range of clothing and accessories which were modelled throughout the evening, and Diet Express, based in Swinton, were there to discuss their slimming plan. Mel from The Cutting Rooms, Wigan, demonstrated his expertise in hairstyling and was on hand to answer questions and give haircare advice. The Practice’s own Emma, who has a special interest in all things spriritual, was offering Reiki, a service which she also offers at the practice.

The evening was closed with a raffle, drawn by Kristina, for prizes donated by the practice and other sponsors of the evening, which included designer accessories, and fragrances, and a tooth whitening package. The proceeds from the event are being divided between the two nominated charities; Bridge2aid is a charity, helping to provide dental care and education to communities in developing countries, and Breast Cancer Care.

As a nation we are all more aware of how our oral health can affect our overall general health. There are established links between poor oral health and diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer, which is why we, the Cahill Dental Care centre are staging an event in support of the British Dental Health Foundation’s Smile Month Campaign at the Market Hall in Bolton.

The British Dental Health Foundation is the UK’s largest independent oral health charity and is dedicated to improving the public’s oral health. Smile Month is an annual, national event which dental organisations and practices are encouraged to support.

This year, the campaign’s slogan is “Teeth4Life” and its goal is to raise awareness of the link between good oral health and general well being, by encouraging brushing teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cutting down on sugary food and drink, and visiting the dentist regularly.

This year, we are busy planning a return to the Market Hall in Bolton. Last year we had a stand during a week of Smile Month and had a really rewarding week promoting the British Dental Health Foundations messages, and offering the people of Bolton the opportunity to discuss their dental concerns and find out what they could do to improve their oral health. This year promises to be bigger and better! We have a competition to win a free course of tooth whitening (normally worth over £500), and have exciting offers and great giveaways planned for every day.

We will be assisted on the stand by representatives from different fields of dentistry, providing specialist advice on a whole range of dental issues from private dental insurance to new and exciting systems for straightening teeth.

We will be at the Market Hall from Monday 17th May – Sunday 23rd May 2010, on the ground floor, near the lifts. Why not pay us a visit, enter our competition and take the opportunity to get some free dental advice!
