Dear Peppermint,
Letter of the issue
I hadn’t smiled with my teeth in a photo since 2016. Last weekend my sister asked who did my teeth — I sent her your address before she finished the sentence.

The 45 minute hygiene visit everyone talks about
Modern dentistry for people who smile a lot. Check-ups, whitening and invisible aligners in a studio that feels nothing like a clinic.

Straight teeth,
minus the metal.

Unedited, unprompted, and slightly embarrassing for us.
Dear Peppermint,
Saturday
Cracked a molar on a Saturday morning. Seen by 11, sorted by 12, home for lunch (soup).

Dear Peppermint,
Before / after
Two visits, four tiny edges fixed, and I genuinely can’t stop grinning at reflective surfaces.

Dear Peppermint,
Club member
The club is the best £19 I spend each month. Even better than my streaming subscriptions.

Dear Peppermint,
Parents
My six year old now asks when we’re going back. To the dentist. Voluntarily. I’m still processing it.

Dear Peppermint,
Nervous patient
Fifteen years avoiding dentists. Dr. Weiss explained every single step before she did it, let me stop whenever I wanted, and somehow made the whole thing feel like a coffee catch-up. Brighter teeth, zero dread.

Q.
Does it hurt?
A.
Honestly? Far less than you remember. We numb with gel first, use warm water airflow instead of scraping, and you can raise a hand to stop at any point. Most patients describe it as “weirdly relaxing.”
