Latest Changes On ClickFlySmile.com

May 21st, 2012 | Posted by Dental Europe in Website News - (Comments Off)

When I updated the  French verison of ClickFlySmile.com, I did not thought about how much the site has changed since a few months. I realised this was more than a minor update. You see, we changed almost everything, design, layout, codes… So I decided to summarise the changes we made on the site (ClickFlySmile.com) to get you a glimpse of what we did in the last couple of months. Of course there are much more these are only the highlights. More will come later about the Comaprison Tool itself as there were many updates over there too.

Extra Functions & Content

Partner Clinics – We are proud to have the best clinics onboard and wanted to share this information with you. Which clinic would you choose…?

Connection With This Blog – Finally, these posts are available from ClickFlySmile.com so the flow of the information is flawless. Did you read about Green Dentistry?

Schedule a Call – You can now request a callback from our homepage with a few simple clicks. You never have to spend a dime to be able to speak to us. You can even get back 100 pounds if you allow us to ask a few questions. Your call…

Design

The list was quite long here, so I hit only the most thorough modifications.

Slideshow – We have a slideshow that gives you much more information then the previous static text before and in a much nicer way. Now you can learn more about the dental comparison in a blink of an eye. Besides, slideshows are cool!

Featured in – We were featured in The Times magazine and we were at the ITB Berlin travel show! Actually, with the latter, we were selected as one of the most innovative health tourism concept of the year.

How It Works – Again finally, we have some fine graphics and a few lines that summarise the essence of the Dental Comparison Tool. Now only some infographics are needed…

Like the Comparison Tool – One of the main changes was to bring the Comparison Tool and the website closer together designwise. So we added some shadows, borders and some other extra design changes. If you can spot them all, you have a night on me in Budapest. How about that?

As you could see these do make a difference and hope you like it. If you have any other suggestions or feedback, you are more than welcome to share your thoughts here.
Have a Nice Monday!

 

5+ steps to Green Your Dental Routine at Home

May 10th, 2012 | Posted by Dental Europe in Uncategorized - (Comments Off)

As promised  we are looking at how can we make our dental routine green at home. Be warned, you can seriously save a lot of money and water  applying these basic recommendations.

  1. Water Off! As we discussed it previously, don’t leave the water running while you’re brushing your teeth. If you turn it only to rinse your mouth and your brush then you can save significantly more water. More ‘advanced techniques’ involve a small glass (see below).
  2. Natural Toothpaste. Yumm. If you are at the store buying your new toothpaste, pick a natural one rather than what you have now. Natural toothpaste is biodegradable and it also helps to stay our water fresh and clear.
  3. Plant Your Toothbrush! If you already bought a natural toothpaste, don’t miss the  composting (or biodegradable) toothbrush. These brushes are typically made of bio materials (like corn starch) – with some types you can even use for your garden!
  4. Gently With Your Teeth. Be gentle with your teeth; don’t brush too hard on your gums. You can not only save your gums, it will also make your toothbrush last a lot longer, saving you quite a few bucks and reducing waste.
  5. Floss. Seriously. If you floss regularly, you can prevent any extensive dental work in the future, saving you a lot of money and reducing the amount of harmful materials and chemicals most traditional dentists use.
  6. Glassy Business. So you turned off the tip. Sweet! Now you may wonder if there is a more effective way to get a reasonable amount of water. It is called: a glass. Having brushed your teeth twice a day the amount can easily reach up to 13 litres of water per day – adding up to 145,000 litres a year… If you use a small glass of water, you do a big favour to our planet Earth! In case you were wondering, here  is the action list for the process:

1)      Fill a small glass with water

2)      Wet your toothbrush by putting it to your glass for a second

3)      Put, the obviously natural, toothpaste to your, obviously biodegradable, toothbrush

4)      Brush your teeth for 2 minutes. Remember. Gently!

5)      Rinse with water from the glass. Swish if you like.

6)      Well done! Be proud that you did something good to our planet!

Green Dentistry At Home – Turn Off the Water, Please!

May 4th, 2012 | Posted by Dental Europe in Uncategorized - (Comments Off)

It is rather interesting that environmental counsciousness is appealing to more people every day. There are so many things that we can do to save energy and reduce pollution -and it doesn’t take too much effort! When it comes down to your mouth, there are many routines that have much lower negative impact on the environment – as opposed to the conventional ways. As water, or more precisely the lack of it, gets more and more urgent matter , we need to consider every possible ways to save even a drop of it. With a very complicated technique that requires years of practicing and very expensive tools we can just do that: turn off the tap water when you brush your teeth and use only a glass of water to rinse.  If you use these drop-dead simple instructions, you can even save, let’s say you wash your teeth 2-3 times, 13 litres of water by yourself – a day! And if you save 13 litres a day, and the fact that there are 30.5 days in a month (to make it up to, 28, 29, 31), one person can save 400 litres per month. But let’s take it to a higher perspective. If there are 365.25 days a year, then a single human being can save up to, wait for it… 145,000 litres of clean water. One man can make such a huge difference.

And the list goes on and on. Other ways like having a natural toothpaste, a compostable toothbrush and the all-time favourite: floss too can make a big difference both for your wallet and your environment. We are going to have a closer look on this matter here later. As I was searching for other green dental opportunities,  I came across this site and found many other interesting ideas how to help saving the environment with tasks like making your own sparkling water, how closing the shades saves energy and adding insulation to your walls can mean a saving for you and for our planet as well.

I am going to get a glass for my toothbrushing excersises now…
