🦷 TEETH DECAY 🦷

〰️ Defined as damage to the tooth, which occurs when bacteria in your mouth forms acid that attacks the tooth’s surface or enamel — aka: a Cavity!

So what causes this bacteria?!! 

〰️ A diet high in sugar is the leading cause of cavities. Repeated cycles of sugary foods/drinks cause ‘acid’ to form, which results in the loss of mineral from the tooth’s enamel. Over time, leading to a cavity area. 

— SYMPTOMS: 

〰️ Toothache 🦷

〰️ Temperature sensitivity (upon hot/cold) 🔥❄️

〰️ Tooth discolouration or brown/ black stains on the tooth surface

〰️ Pain upon biting or your pressure 

〰️ Swelling 

— POSSIBLE TREATMENTS: 

• Dental Fillings
• Dental Crowns & Bridges
• Dental Implants or Dentures (if the tooth needs to be removed)
• Dental Root Canal Therapy (if the decay is bad but the tooth can be saved)

Your dental tip of the day: Don’t wait for these symptoms to occur prior to seeing a dentist. Ensure you attend to your preventative dental visits to catch any cavities before they start! 👍🏼😬

Contact us now to ensure that your teeth decay doesn’t get worse and that it is treated early!

Let’s talk BRUXISM (Teeth Grinding)

What is Bruxism? It is a condition defined by teeth grinding or clenching of the teeth.

CAUSES —

 Emotions such as anxiety, stress, anger, frustration or tension.

 Grinding / clenching during sleep may be associated with sleep disturbances and or breathing issues – Including sleep apnoea. 

How our DENTISTS can help —

 During our comprehensive oral examination our dentists will assess your teeth for signs of clenching / grinding, while asking questions surrounding your quality of sleep, snoring and assessing for any airway issues….yes, believe it or not, it’s all connected!

• Grinding Splint Guard
• Mandibular Advancement splint (if you have Sleep Apnoea)
• Botox to help relax the grinding muscles (will only last a few months)
• Physiotherapy

Have you ever wondered what we could do to help with your bleeding gums? Read on to find out more about Gum disease Treatment:

Are you suffering from any of the below symptoms?!

Then you may HAVE or be at RISK of GUM DISEASE!

Gum Disease, otherwise known as Periodontal disease is defined as inflammation of the gums.

If left untreated, gum disease may cause teeth to become loose and therefore result in tooth loss….😱🦷

Attending to 6 monthly maintenance visits, in conjunction with at home oral hygiene eliminates your risk of developing gum disease.

Causes:

• Smoking or vaping – Smoking or using tobacco products increases the risk of gum infections and hinders the healing process.
• Poor Oral Hygiene  -bad brushing and flossing habits.
• Unhealthy diet – Diets high in sugars and carbohydrates contribute to plaque formation, fuelling gum infections.
• Genetics
• Medical conditions such as immune disorders or diabetes
• Medications

Possible Gum disease Treatment:

• Professional Dental clean
• Antibiotics
• Dental Mouth Wash
• Good Dental Hygiene (such as good brushing and flossing habits)
• Seeing a gum specialist – Periodontist

*In cases where significant bone loss accompanies the gum infection, additional intervention for gum treatment may become necessary.

Contact us now to ensure that your gum disease doesn’t get worse and that it is treated early!
