Union Quay Bites – October 2026

Welcome to Union Quay Bites – October 2026.

Autumn is well and truly here, and with the nights drawing in, we’re delighted to welcome you to this month’s Union Quay Bites.

We’ve been out and about in North Shields, exploring the first ever Open Quay weekend, with local artists opening their studios to visitors. This month’s Business of the Month is the brilliant Bell Street Barbers, just down the street from our practice.

In this edition there’s also some seasonal science. In Sugar Season, we explain the Stephan Curve, which shows how your mouth’s acidity rises every time you eat or drink something sugary. You’ll find some easy tips to enjoy the treats from Halloween to Christmas without damaging your teeth.

As always, thank you for being part of our practice community. We hope you enjoy this edition, and we look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.
