Newsletter Winter 2009

The clinic is now decorated for Christmas and the first half meter of snow has fallen in the Sierra Nevada.
Outside the clinic window the thermometer shows at plus 24 degrees (75F) and the sun shines from a clear blue sky. We live in the country of contrasts!

On 11 December we have an “Open House with” mulled wine (the Swedish speciality – GLÖGG), homemade saffron buns and gingerbread cookies.
You are welcome to see our facilities, talk to staff, ask questions about teeth and oral health, and also enjoy the art painted by Salvador Moreno Valencia.
Welcome!

During the summer we redecorated and painted the entire clinic. Our own artist Salvador Moreno Valencia has loaned us several new paintings and sculptures that now adorn the walls and reception desk. We have also updated and "cleaned" computers and computer systems. A new finance system has been put into service. Nothing you notice, but for us it makes a big difference.

During autumn and winter, we have attended several courses and further training. We started with a course in the detection and diagnosis of soft tissue disease including oral cancer. In October, the dentists went to Granada to learn the latest about implants. We also went a course of soft tissue treatment. How to treat oral mucosa to reach the best aesthetic results for example after a tooth extraction or when we do a fixed bridge. In November we went to Malaga to learn the latest about root canal treatment. We also attended a seminar on orthodontic treatment for adults. That is something that our patients demands more and more.
Becky our dental hygienist and Rebecka took part in a much appreciated course in teeth whitening. It was professors from the University of Valencia (Europe's leading faculty in terms of tooth whitening), which talked about the latest knowledge and techniques. Very new and useful and already implicated at the clinic.

We extend our summer offer for the year. Take the opportunity to get a proper dental cleaning or teeth whitening. Talk to Becky or Rebecka for more details.

Our partnership with periodontal specialist Dr. Adrian Guerrero developed and deepened. Together with Adrian and our dental hygienist Becky, we have this year offered advanced care for those with periodontal disease. The results have been fantastic with many very satisfied patients.

We wish to thank all of you who come up with constructive and valuable suggestions on how best we can tell you or help you with your dental problems. You are always welcome to send an e-mail to Rebecka.

Sincerely,
Peter Broberg and staff
