This is the cornerstone of all modern dentistry.
Using the skills and knowledge of our Dentist, our Hygienists and our Oral Health Educators we aim to help our patients look after their mouths better and so reduce the number of fillings and crowns they will need over their lifetime.
While it is never too late to learn good habits it is especially important to start children off with good tooth brushing and good diet patterns.
Prevention encompasses cleaning the teeth and learning how to modify your existing techniques to remove more plaque more consistently; it also covers placing sealants on teeth to prevent decay or stop it in its tracks if it has only just started; Orthodontics and gum shields can also be considered prevention as they are proven to reduce the risk of trauma to the front teeth and straight teeth are usually easier to keep clean; a big aid to prevention is Fluoride - this naturally occurring element penetrates the tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to acid attack and decay.

Wearing away of a tooth.
It may be caused by incorrect tooth brushing (The point where the tooth meets the gum is particularly vulnerable as the root may have become exposed).
It can be made worse by the use of abrasive toothpaste e.g.
Dental treatment will be needed to effect a cure, but some measures can be taken to ease the pain: Taking normal painkiller tablets and rinsing your mouth with hot water into which you have dissolved a teaspoonful of salt.
This may help soothe the pain and assist the healing process.

Your dentist needs to take an x-ray of your mouth to help with your care.
There are many benefits associated with the use of x-rays, such as your dentist being able to see what their eyes cannot (such as inside your bodyto find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities).
This is much safer than using invasive techniques such as surgery.
Dental x-rays are exceedingly safe, but like everything in life, there is a degree of risk involved - you will receive a negligible dose of radiation which carries a tiny (less than one in a million) chance of side effects.
