At home we don’t have all of the equipment to check deep within so it is incredibly important that we ensure to visit the dentist at least a couple of times each year to get a thorough check.

Dentists have an objective to look after you and ensure you maintain excellent dental health such as fighting plaque, tooth decay and gum disease.

A digital X-ray will show if something is going wrong in your mouth and if something like a bit of tooth decay has shown up, it can be sorted out quickly and easily with a filling. The dentist will check the health of your gums andgive you a good clean and oral hygiene instruction advising you how to care for them. They will remove any build up of tartar around the teeth leaving you feeling fresh.

If you put your trust into us we will ensure to deliver the best treatment plan tailor made just for you!

If you have an abscess and cannot see a dentist, you should find a doctor even if this means going to the hospital. An abscess can only be attacked and treated once you have been given antibiotics to stop the blood from becoming poisoned and to reduce the swelling.

The signs and symptoms of an abscess are-

-The tooth may be tender to the touch and

-It may hurt when there is a sudden change in temperature

-You may get a fever

-If  your face starts to swell you should seek immediate action, as the condition can become life threatening in some cases.

Once the abscess has gone, your dentist can get to work on you. One of the biggest causes of this condition is tooth decay, so there is a good chance you will need a root canal and then have your gums cleaned, as well as your tooth deep below the gum-line.

The problem with an abscess is they flare up again at anytime, which means the only way to stop this from happening is to have the tooth removed. Of course prevention is better than cure and if you have had a problem with an abscess, it means that you are not looking after your teeth well enough and so should concentrate on your oral hygeine routine.

Smoking depletes the immune system, causing the mouth to suffer from poor saliva levels, which is needs to fight bacteria. Smoking is also the cause of gum disease and multiplies the chance of a person getting it and continual smoking during the disease also plays havoc on the chances of recovery.

When you have acheived your goal and become smoke free, your dentist can help battle the problems that it caused to your teeth and gums by creating an oral-hygeine treatment plan for you.

Giving up smoking will not only boost your health, but also cut down the amount of times you are troubling your dentist with recurring problems caused by nicotine.

In sports for example, the jaw is badly exposed to impact, especially contact sports, which is one of the reasons why we wear mouth-guards. But the biggest danger to the TMJ is that of stress, because we maybe unaware of the fact we are grinding our teeth which can cause terrible damage to this joint that will eventually need surgery to overcome.

 If you would like more information on how to tackle TMJ Ninety 2 Dental can help.

Your dentist will be looking to check every area of your mouth thoroughly to ensure that it is in good health. Your teeth will be examined in detail to check that the enamel is fully intact and not succumbing to the acidic influence of erosion from plaque. The alignment of teeth will be checked too as having misaligned teeth or teeth which are too bunched up might cause bruxism or make cavities more likely. If you are of a certain age then the development of your wisdom teeth will be monitored too.

The gums will be checked over too as their health is paramount for your mouth. Inflamed gums that are experiencing gingivitis can start a process that might end with periodontitis and a substantial risk of tooth loss. If gingivitis seems to be present in the mouth then your dentist might advise you to brush more thoroughly or make sure that you floss. In some cases, antibiotics are prescribed to the patient.

When looking to fill a gap you have many options but the one you will require rather depends exactly on where the tooth has been lost. A bridge is a brilliant replacement for lost teeth as you are still left with different options. If a tooth has gone between two others, a Maryland bridge is one of the more popular choices. It comes as a single tooth with two pontics which are cemeneted on to the back of the neighbouring teeth, This process causes no damage to your own healthy teeth.

Another option is a bridge that is a new tooth bonded to two crowns which are cemented onto the surrounding teeth. After a bridge is fitted it is crucial to maintain an excellent oral hygeine routine it is an acquired technique and takes a little bit of effort to get right at first and you will have to invest in the right tools such as a good toothbrush and interdental brushes,  But get it right and a dental bridge will not only restore the look of your mouth, it will keep the health of your mouth up and running while it is in place!
