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,...
Gums that bleed when you brush are usually irritated or inflamed. Plaque along the gum line is the usual reason. Leave it and it can bring on gum disease. But it isn’t always that. Brushing too hard does it. Gum irritation, a slack cleaning routine, a few other dental problems, any of those can be...
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...
We see nervous patients every day. Not occasionally. Every day. Some haven’t been to a dentist in years. Some book an appointment and cancel it twice before they come in. Some make it through the door and spend the whole consultation on the edge of leaving. All of them feel embarrassed about it, and none...
Losing a tooth isn’t something most people plan for. One appointment it’s fine, the next there’s a gap, and now you need to work out what to do with it. Most of the time, a dental bridge is the most straightforward answer. Not the only one, but for a single missing tooth with healthy neighbours...
