Toothaches and sensitive teeth can cause major discomfort to your everyday living. Avoiding foods just because they cause sensitivity and pain is no way to live comfortably. That is why, at your local dentist exists, he helps patients with such problems and they are normally dealt with promptly.

There can be numerous causes for toothaches and sensitive teeth - generally the decay of the tooth with the nerve showing or the gum receding to such an extent that hot and cold foods can cause painful sensitivity.

Tooth filling, Root Canals, Crowns, Tooth Sealant, Dental Onlays, and all manner of Dental Hygiene Procedures, etc., are routinely practiced operations carried out by our qualified dentists.

Tooth decay can creep on unexpectedly, and from time to time, when pain strikes, the decay has gone too deep into the tooth - causing major damage and thus requiring major treatment. It is possible that this could have been prevented by having gone to see your local dentist beforehand so that he could spot the decay at an early stage, and deal with it economically and effectively.

We recommend that you see your local dentist routinely to ensure your teeth remain in good condition and do not decay.

As a dentist I recommned and advocate Preventative Dentistry.

What is Preventative Dentistry?

Preventive Dentistry is used to help each of us keep our teeth and gums healthy and so to prevent you from making unnecessary visits to the dentist, for fillings or other operations.

Most consumables in modern society contain sugar, which can cause tooth decay, so it is important that you take the necessary preventative measures for your teeth to stay in optimum condition. Things such as brushing your teeth, using floss, chewing gum, and rinsing your mouth with mouth-wash all help in preventing tooth decay.

Also, with so much sugar on the market, bad breath (halitosis) is a prevalent problem in today's society. Bad breath, in most cases, is caused by food remaining in the mouth - on the teeth, tongue, and gums - that bacteria then feast on. Dead and dying bacterial cells then give your breath an unpleasant odor.

Brushing your teeth, rinsing your mouth, or chewing some sugar-free gum, after you have eaten, goes a long way in preventing bad breath and tooth decay. Schedule your next preventative visit today or call the dentist for further consultation

Dental veneers were originally invented by a dentist in California, USA. At the time the adhesive used was unsatisfactory and the veneers fell off after a short time.

In this day and age, veneers have been highly modernized. Using modern bonding adhesives, they can bond to the teeth for up to 30 years. In the past, the only way to correct dental imperfections was to cover the tooth with a crown.

What is a veneer? Per the Encarta Dictionary, it is "a thin layer of a material bonded to the surface of a less attractive or inferior material". Veneers in dentistry are very thin layers of artificial tooth (made either of porcelain or a resin composite) that are the natural color of your tooth and are placed on your tooth.

In modern dentistry, veneers as such are used to improve the aesthetics of the teeth or to repair/protect a damaged tooth surface.

What makes you a candidate for veneers? Large spaces between your teeth; poorly shaped or crooked teeth; broken or chipped teeth; worn down, misaligned or uneven teeth. Dental veneers can also be used to handle externally or internally stained or permanently discolored teeth that can not be handled through professional teeth whitening.

As mentioned; veneers come in the form of porcelain or composite resin (hard plastic). Your local dental expert can advise which option is best suited for you.

Veneers are highly resistant to the staining from coffee, tea, tobacco etc. They can make your teeth look good and feel healthy; while giving you a new, better look.

Veneers are endorsed by dentists and patients alike, with stories of how they have literally changed peoples lives by instilling them with a confidence - no longer shying away from other people because of their teeth.

Though veneers stand within the realm of cosmetic dentistry, they are a relatively simple, fast, and straightforward procedure that greatly enhances one's looks, strengthens one's teeth, and may be exactly what you need to improve your appearance and your smile.

Veneers are prepared at the laboratory, after your initial visit with your local dental expert. During your initial visit, your dentist will consult you on the procedure and will take a mold of the tooth/teeth to be veneered. After your veneer(s) have been produced in the laboratory, your local dentsts will place them on the respective tooth/teeth. He will then consult you on how to take care of your veneers so that they last long and remain in good condition.
