A dental examination is a comprehensive and thorough evaluation of your oral health conducted by a dental professional. They will assess every aspect of your teeth, gums, and jaw to identify any potential issues. Along with checking for the existence of cavities and gum diseases that can lead to tooth decay or loss, the dentist also screens for underlying conditions such as oral cancer. This screening is crucial for early detection and treatment to prevent any more severe issues from arising.
The ultimate goal of a dental examination is to prevent dental problems before they become more severe and encourage excellent oral health practices. The examination is a regular procedure that is essential for maintaining good oral health and ensuring that you have a healthy mouth. With a complete dental examination, you will be in a better position to address any concerns and prevent potential issues from becoming more severe over time. By attending regular dental examinations, you can ensure that your oral health is always in tip-top shape and that your overall health is not compromised.
Composite (white) dental fillings have become more and more popular in recent years thanks to their many benefits for repairing cavities and restoring the health and appearance of damaged teeth. These fillings are made from a blend of plastic and glass materials designed to match the color and texture of your natural teeth, offering you a seamless and discreet treatment option. In contrast to traditional metal fillings, composite fillings are mercury-free, meaning that they are better for your overall dental health. Additionally, they require less tooth structure to be removed during the placement process, which makes them less invasive and even more aesthetically pleasing.
Composite fillings can also be used to correct cosmetic imperfections or chipped teeth, making them a versatile option that can be utilised in both front and back teeth. By properly caring for your composite fillings and regularly visiting your dentist for check-ups, fillings can last for many years and give you a healthy, functional and beautiful smile.
Root canal treatment, or endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that becomes necessary when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged. The aim of this treatment is to save the tooth from having to be extracted, retaining maximum functionality and aesthetics of the tooth. The dentist will remove the infected pulp, thoroughly clean the inside of the tooth, and then fill and seal the space with a dental material.
This treatment may require a single visit, or it may be performed over multiple appointments, depending on the complexity of the tooth. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience for the patient. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist, teeth that have undergone root canal treatment can last for many years, restoring optimum oral health.
