Don't Suffer From Dental Pain. See a Dentist ASAP

If you are suffering from dental pain in London, you obviously need to see a dentist as soon as possible. If you are already a member of a practice you will usually find that one of the dentists will endeavour to see you the same day. While in most instances dental pain in London is not a life-threatening condition, nonetheless by definition it is painful, and you want to get rid of that pain as soon as you can.

If you are not a member of a dental practice, then you really should be. Apart from any other reason, if you have an emergency such as an avulsed tooth or any sort of dental pain, your dentist will do his or her best to help you as quickly as possible, whereas if you are not a member of a practice it may take longer to fit you in, although, of course, all dentists will see you as quickly as they are able to. They understand more than most people just how bad dental pain can be. 


An avulsed tooth is one that has been knocked out and may either be on the floor or may be hanging on by a thread of tissue or by the nerve. The good news is that if the tooth is not shattered it may be possible to replace it. If it has been shattered, you should try to gather all the pieces up and keep them in water to prevent them drying out. Then you need to call for an emergency appointment as soon as you can. It may still be possible to replant the tooth, but even if not, it can be used as a guide to make a replacement tooth for you.

Whatever else you do, or don't do, if you are suffering from dental pain in London, see the dentist as quickly as possible. It is a sad fact of life that many people are scared of seeing the dentist because of the fear of pain. 50 years ago, that might have been the case, but today, dental procedures have advanced enormously. You really should register with a dentist in the same way you are registered with your doctor and go for a regular check-up.

Preventative dentistry starts with regular check-ups

Image
Healthy mouths chew more easily, are less prone to sensitivity and are less likely to need fillings in the future. Good oral hygiene always starts at home, but preventative dentistry at the clinic is just as important. Regular check-ups with your dentist are necessary for good oral health. We recommend you visit your dentist every 6 to 12 months. Regular check-ups help spot the earliest signs of tooth decay and gum disease, allowing these problems to be sorted before they escalate into anything serious. Your dentist can also help you understand how to take care of your teeth. This can differ between patients, making personalised advice invaluable. Patients who don’t attend regular check-ups only tend to visit their dentist when they experience dental pain or sensitivity. It’s important to say that while some dental problems can’t be prevented, many can (such as gum disease and tooth decay). Read More Visit - preventative dentistry

When It Comes To Oral Health, Prevention Is Better Then Cure

Image
The old saying "prevention is better than cure" applies very much to dentistry, and most dentists prefer to prevent problems occurring rather than have to treat them at a later date.  Ideally, you should get your children to the dentist early in their lives and make a regular visit every six months. This way, children will become used to going to the dentist and not be afraid of it. The dentist will be able to check for any signs of decay early on and can also provide applications of fluoride and tooth coloured fissure sealants to the biting surfaces of children's teeth in order to prevent decay. Dental hygiene is, of course, vital for everyone and everyone should brush and floss their teeth twice a day. However, preventive dentistry in Shoreditch is also assisted by a regular visit to the dental hygienist. The hygienist will check your oral health and give your teeth a professional scale and polish which will go a long way to preventing gum dise...

What can be done about missing and broken teeth?

Image
If you have a chipped or broken tooth, you don’t have to live with it. There are a few solutions available to make your tooth look intact again, even when in conversation with someone in front of you. The right solution for your case depends on the tooth (or teeth) in question and the type of damage.  Bonding If you have chipped off a small piece of tooth enamel, cracked your tooth or broken it, bonding is one possible solution.  Your dentist in Bristol will create a composite material that closely matches the natural colour of your teeth. They will then etch the surface of your broken tooth and glue the composite to it. Next, your dentist will shape the composite to resemble your original tooth. The last step is hardening the composite using UV light. This is called curing. The result will be a repair that appears completely natural.  Crowns  If a large piece of tooth breaks off or your dentist is forced to file the tooth down to rid it ...
