Tooth structure and integrity can become compromised by decay which softens the tooth substance and results in a cavity.
Other reasons why tooth structure can become compromised are due to tooth wear, cracks or breaks due to excessive forces during function or even trauma for example due to a knock to the teeth during an accident.
A filling is used to build up a tooth to its original natural size and shape in order to revive the function and appearance of the missing tooth structure.
Root canal treatment (also called endodontics) is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is infected through decay or injury.

Gum disease is the swelling, soreness or infection of the tissues supporting the teeth.
There are two main types of gum disease: 'gingivitis' and 'periodontitis'.
Gingivitis means inflammation of the gums.
This is when the gums around the teeth become very red and swollen.
Often the swollen gums bleed when you brush them, they may also bleed when eating, leaving a bad taste in your mouth.
Your breath may also become unpleasant.
Long-standing gingivitis can turn into periodontitis.
There are a number of types of periodontal disease and they all affect the tissues supporting the teeth.

Most people have amalgam (silver) fillings in their mouth.
Nowadays fillings can be more natural looking, whilst still doing the job that it's designed to do.
Many people don't want silver fillings that show when they laugh or smile because they are more conscious about the way they look.
It is usually best to change fillings only when your dentist recommends that an old filling needs replacing.
When this happens you can ask to have it replaced with a tooth-coloured filling.
Some dentists prefer not to put Tooth Coloured Fillings in back teeth as they are not always successful.

What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening can be a very successful way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface or damaging it.
Usually the original shade of the tooth is whitened to a lighter colour, rather than being turned completely white.
There are a number of reasons why you might get your teeth whitened.
Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour vary, so do our teeth.
Very few people have brilliant-white teeth.
As we get older our teeth get darker; partly due to our age but also as a result of the food and drinks that we consume.
