All down my street

smiles opened like roses

sun licked me and tickled me

sun said, Didn’t you believe me

when I said I’d be back?

I blinked my eyes, I said,

Sun, you are too strong for me

where’d you get those muscles?

Sun said, Come and dance.

All over the park

smiles opened like roses

babies kicked off their shoes

and sun kissed their toes. 

All those new babies

all that new sun

everybody dancing walking but dancing.

All over the world

sun kicked off his shoes

and came home dancing

licking and tickling

kissing crossing-ladies and fat babies

saying to everyone

Hey you are the most beautiful

dancing people I’ve ever seen

with those smiles like roses!

You’ve probably heard about High School Musical, the most successful film that the Disney Channel have ever produced.  With 7.7 million viewers in the USA following the first broadcast and 1.2 million in the UK, high school musical fever was bound to follow.  

With a tale based on Romeo and Juliet, High School Musical is a story about two high school juniors from rival cliques – Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), captain of the basketball team and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens), a beautiful but shy girl who excels in her studies. In true Hollywood style they both try for lead parts in the high school musical and the rest they say is history.

The question on everyone’s lips however, is what work has Zac Efron had to his teeth to get this perfect Hollywood smile!  Two years ago Zac had a space between his upper two front teeth and now he has a picture perfect Hollywood smile!

After: Zac Efron now with the ultimate smile!

Before: Zac Efron with a gap between his upper teeth 

Dr Sunita Verma from Sparkle Dental Boutique says, `Whilst its been widely reported that Zac has had braces to correct his teeth (that he wore for only three weeks!), I believe that Zac has had porcelain veneers placed on his upper teeth. The porcelain veneers have been used to close the gap between his two upper front teeth giving him that picture perfect Hollywood smile. He most probably would have had some sort of teeth whitening before his veneers were placed.’

Being recognised as an Investor in People (IIP) is a great achievement but to be re-recognised three years on is fantastic - and Sparkle Dental Boutique has just done that!

IIP helps organisations to improve performance and realise objectives through the management and development of their people.

Kavita Verma, Boutique Manager, says “There are very few dental practices in the UK who can boast achieving this standard and we are proud to be leading the way”.

She goes on to say “All of the team are given opportunities to develop and make the most of their particular talents and skills.  Our daily and monthly meetings ensure that the team are very clear about how they contribute to Sparkle and keeps everyone focused on Sparkle’s goals and objectives. We also do alot of internal training, which allows the whole team to continue to excel in patient care”.
