Why I like white fillings.....
..actually they are not white. They are tooth coloured fillings because teeth are not white - anything but white. A pure white filling would stand out like a sore thumb if the tooth itself is not pure white, and so for this reason a properly placed filling should be invisible and not draw attention to itself. The correct name for them is 'composite restorations' and 'glass ionomer restorations'. At Haynesdental we only place white fillings.

Wigan player has tooth extracted - from arm!
Wigan's Australian three-quarter Jamie Ainscough had to miss his side's 40-18 win at Warrington last night – after having a tooth pulled from his arm.
The former St George Illawarra winger discovered the tooth, which belonged to the St Helens centre Martin Gleeson, after he went to hospital for an x-ray examination this week.
"He had to have an operation to have the tooth pulled," said the Wigan coach, Stuart Raper. "I think he's sent it back in the post."
Ainscough had played all three of Wigan's matches since an incident with Gleeson, which occurred during a game against Saints, the Super League leaders, on 30 July. He went for a check-up after the arm became infected.
Last night's win extended Wigan's unbeaten run to 12 games.
