You’ve had your teeth whitened and they look great. Apart from the bonding on your front teeth, which hasn’t moved an inch. Sound familiar? Or maybe you haven’t whitened yet and you’re wondering what’ll happen to your veneers, crowns or fillings if you do. It catches a lot of people out. Especially if they’ve spent...
Mention root canal treatment and most people wince. It’s got a reputation as the worst thing a dentist can do to you. Ask people who’ve actually had one, though, and plenty will tell you something different. The toothache before was the bad bit. The treatment itself is done with the tooth numbed, much like a...
Found a chalky white mark on one of your teeth, had a closer look in the bathroom mirror, then ended up here? Totally normal. White spots on teeth are really common. Lots of them are harmless. A few need a dentist to look at them, and from the outside the two can look almost identical....
What can fixed braces correct? More than most people expect. Crooked teeth and crowding, obviously. Gaps. A good chunk of bite problems too, overbites, underbites and crossbites among them. Whether they’ll fix yours is another question, and honestly it depends on your teeth, your jaw and the state of your gums, so we won’t pretend...
Tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems we deal with. Easy to miss, too. It rarely hurts early on, so a fair few patients are caught off guard when we spot it at a routine check-up. Ignore it and it just carries on. Enamel goes first. After that the softer layer underneath,...
Cold water hits a tooth and you flinch. Ice cream, same story. Hot tea, and there’s that quick jab out of nowhere. That’s what people mean by sensitive teeth. The softer inside of the tooth has been left exposed, or something’s got it wound up. Loads of things cause it. Enamel worn thin. Gums that...
Yes. And a dental implant for one missing tooth is one of the most common things we get asked about. Lose a single tooth and the implant deals with just that gap, on its own, without dragging the teeth next to it into the job. One post, one crown, sat where your natural tooth used...
You had a crown fitted. Maybe last month, maybe ten years ago. Now the tooth under it aches and you’re not sure why. Short version: a settled crown shouldn’t hurt. A bit of soreness in the first week or two after it goes on is normal and fades. But pain that turns up later, or...
Had a filling, and now the tooth’s playing up. A twinge when cold water hits it. That dull ache when you chew on it. Or a sharp jolt out of nowhere that makes you wince. Short version: some pain after a filling is normal. Tooth pain after a filling usually calms down by itself in...
Wisdom Tooth Pain: What’s Causing It and When to See a Dentist Wisdom tooth pain nearly always comes down to one of three things. The tooth’s pushing through. It’s stuck. Or the gum around it has got infected. Some of that’s just part and parcel of a wisdom tooth arriving. Some of it needs a...
