External Health Services and Advice
Your health is important to us at Wedgwood House dental practice. Sometimes other providers in or around your community may offer help and advice that feels more targeted towards your care needs. Be aware, these are external services and we do not control what is published on these sites.
We have listed some useful resources:
Morelife Services
Morelife run evidenced-based programmes to address health inequalities and promote healthy behaviours.
They support weight management, increased physical activity, improved mental health, and stopping smoking.
There is an app from the NHS to help you stop smoking too. Also read: Smoking and oral health.
Learn about diabetes
There is a link between smoking and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes UK provides information on the types of diabetes. It is important that you look after your oral health by following your dentist's advice.
