Read on to see what's happening this month.

From our heart to yours...

February was all about love, and we fully embraced it here at Treetops!

It was also National Heart Month, reminding us to keep health and happiness at the core of everything we do...

Our Heart Health MOT, ECG screenings, and Ultimate Blood Tests at Treetops Wellness Clinic provide the essential insights to help keep your heart in top shape!

Do you know someone who deserves recognition in the Wolverhampton Citizen of the Year Awards 2025? 

Last year’s winner was my wonderful daughter, Saatchi, honoured for her outstanding work with the South Staffordshire Local Village Transport initiative and many other achievements!

And a big round of applause for our amazing Kaci, who is taking on the challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day, everyday in March, to raise funds for Cancer Research. We’re all cheering you on, Kaci!

Wishing you a wonderful March – whether you're staying on top of your routine check-ups, focusing on your health, or making a positive impact in the community!

Commitment to the community: walk all over cancer

This March, our incredible dental nurse Kaci is taking on the 10,000 Steps a Day Challenge to raise money for Cancer Research UK – that’s an amazing 310,000 steps over the month!

But for Kaci, this challenge is deeply personal, because at just three years old, Kaci was diagnosed with leukemia.

She fought through it and survived, but she knows firsthand the devastating impact cancer can have.

This year, she is walking in memory of her dear friend Lewis, who tragically lost his battle with cancer.

With every step, Kaci is honouring Lewis’s memory and helping to fund vital research to ensure more people survive, more families stay whole and more lives are saved.

Treetops’ renovation

We’re making some exciting improvements to the practice, which means part of our car park is temporarily closed for renovation work.

The good news is that only half of the car park is affected, which was previously used for staff parking.

However, during busier times, spaces may be more limited than usual.

If you’re visiting us at peak times, you may need to find alternative parking nearby or consider using public transport, where possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while we make these upgrades, and we can’t wait to share the improvements with you soon!

Clinician’s Corner: Do you ever feel nervous coming to the dentists?

Whether you’re a new patient looking for a kind, caring practice or an existing patient who tentatively turns up regularly, we do know how you feel and how to look after our more nervous patients. 

We’ll start with our wonderful reception team who quickly get to know individual patients and their needs. And put you at ease from the start. 

All of us dentists and wonderful hygienists know this isn’t where you’d necessarily want to spend time.

But we are all very skilled at putting you at ease. Whether that’s with a gentle hand scale from the hygienists at your pace tailored to what you need but also what you can cope with in a session. Right through to us dentists who’ll encourage you to speak about your needs and indeed fears. And most importantly take things at your speed.

We’ll explain what you may need doing to make you confident and healthy with your teeth again. And we do know it may be difficult to absorb all the information at once so will always book a follow up appointment to further discuss any questions or queries you may have about the treatment you need. 

It’s often helpful to bring a friend or family member along which we welcome at these appointments to help you absorb information and make choices about what’s best for you personally.

When it comes to the actual treatment, be assured we go at your pace.

You can have a rest, a little joke and banter with us, a break whenever you want.

We are there to help and really do care about you getting the most out of your treatment whatever that takes.

Sometimes it’s helpful if you bring along your own earbuds and music to play during treatment.

It’s a great distraction and can help you to zone out. Even better if you can share with us your more interesting tastes in music! They are bound to be better than ours!

I have offered to share my Spotify list with patients but strangely they mostly decline! 

For our slightly more anxious patients we can also offer some calming medication to take before your visit which can really help allay those initial fears until you build up confidence with us, which I can assure you you will. 

However we can help we will. Trust us.

Because we care very deeply at Treetops about the comfort of our patients on their journey to achieving the smile and health they want.

Spring has sprung...

As we say goodbye to winter and welcome the first signs of spring, it’s a great time for fresh starts – whether that’s prioritising your health, refreshing your smile or setting 

new personal goals. 

At Treetops, we’re here to support you every step of the way!

Denplan’s 2024 Oral Health Survey revealed that only 40% of GB adults attend check-ups every 6 months and 44% have never seen a hygienist!

Regular visits are crucial for both oral and overall health. Here’s why:

✅ Detect & prevent – catching cavities & gum disease early prevents bigger problems.

✅ Check for cancer – 10,825 people in the UK were diagnosed with mouth cancer in 2024. Early detection saves lives!

✅ Professional cleaning & advice – gum disease is linked to heart disease, stroke and diabetes - your oral health affects your whole body!

We understand that life is busy, but your health matters.

If you're overdue, call our friendly reception team today to book.

Have a great March!
