<strong>HYGIENIST</strong><br>
Our hygienist can clean your teeth and
gums as well as offer advice on your
daily oral hygiene routine. A thorough
cleaning of teeth can reduce plaque and
stains and polish up your tooth enamel.
The reduction of plaque can counter
problems of bad breath. For general
advice on dental health our hygienist is
your first port of call.<br>

EARLY GUM DISEASE SCREENING </font></b>
<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"><br>
Screening for gum disease forms an
integral part of your routine
examination. Gum disease describes
swelling, soreness or infection of the
tissues supporting the teeth. There are
two main forms of gum disease:
gingivitis and periodontal disease.</font><p>

<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">EARLY
DECAY DETECTION AND X-RAYS</font></b><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><br>
Decay may or may not cause discomfort;
even though it doesn’t hurt, the tooth
is deteriorating. Using higher
magnification and powerful lighting, it
is easier to detect decay at an early
stage to prevent excessive tooth damage.
When cavities are small, they are much
easier and less expensive to treat. <br>
<br>
Early tooth decay does not tend to show
many physical signs. Sometimes the tooth
looks healthy, but your dentist will be
able to see from an x-ray whether you
have any decay under the enamel, any
possible infections in the roots, or any
bone loss around the tooth. <br>

<a id="badbreath" name="badbreath"></a>
<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">BAD
BREATH</font></b><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"><br>
Bad breath is a very common problem and
there are many different causes.
Persistent bad breath is usually caused
by the smelly gases released by the
bacteria that coat your teeth and gums.
However, strong foods like garlic and
onions can add to the problem. Smoking
is also one of the main causes of bad
breath, along with certain illnesses
such as nasal and stomach conditions.
Bits of food that get caught between the
teeth and on the tongue will rot and can
sometimes cause an unpleasant smell. So
correct and regular brushing is very
important to keep your breath smelling
fresh. <br>
<br>
The bacteria on our teeth and gums
(plaque) also cause gum disease and
dental decay. If you see your dentist
regularly this will not only help
prevent bad breath but will also let the
dentist look for and treat these
problems.<br>

MOUTH CANCER SCREENING</font></b><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"><br>
Mouth cancer is a malignant growth which
can occur in any part of the mouth,
including the tongue, lips and throat.<b>
</b>Mouth cancers have a higher
proportion of deaths per number of cases
than breast cancer, cervical cancer or
skin melanoma. The mortality rate is
just over 50%, despite treatment, with
about 1,700 deaths per year in the UK.
This is because of late detection. Visit
your dentist at once if you notice any
abnormal problems or are not sure.
Six-monthly dental checkups allow early
detection! </font></p>

MOUTH GUARDS</font></b><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS"><br>
A mouthguard is a specially made,
rubber-like cover which fits exactly
over your teeth and gums, cushioning
them and protecting them from damage.<br>
<br>
It is important to wear a professionally
made mouthguard whenever you play sport
that involves physical contact or moving
objects. This includes: cricket, hockey
and football – which can cause broken
and damaged teeth; and American
football, boxing and rugby – which can
all cause broken or dislocated jaws. A
mouthguard will help protect against
these events.<br>
<br>
If you take part in any of these contact
sports please ask us about our range of
custom made mouth guards.</font></p>

<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">A
veneer can make a chipped tooth look
intact again. The porcelain covers the
whole of the front of the tooth with a
thicker section replacing the broken
part. <br>
<br>
<strong>Bonding:</strong> sometimes
instead of a porcelain veneer, a natural
colour ‘composite’ material is used
instead of porcelain. A natural-coloured
filling material can be used for minor
repairs to front teeth like chipped or
broken tooth corners. <br>

CROWNS & BRIDGES TO REPLACE MISSING
TEETH <br>
C</font></strong><font face="Trebuchet MS"><strong><font size="2">rowns</font></strong><font size="2">
<br>
Crowns, or caps for teeth are
custom-made for each patient and fitted
onto a tooth, covering its entire
surface. They are made of variety of
different materials for example
porcelain, ceramic etc. <br>
<br>
Crowns can reinforce weak or cracked
teeth and also change the look of teeth
that are awkwardly shaped or
discoloured. Crowns are also used for
cases of teeth with large fillings,
where a tooth has been subject to a
fracture or after a root canal
treatment. </font></font>
<p align="justify">
<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">A
crown could be used for a number of
other reasons, for instance: </font></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="justify">
<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">
you may have discoloured fillings
and would like to improve the
appearance of the tooth </font></li>
<li>
<p align="justify">
<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">
you may have had a root filling
which will need a crown to protect
it </font></li>
<li>
<p align="justify">
<font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">
it may help hold a bridge or denture
firmly in place. </font></li>
</ul>
<p><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS">
Besides having a
dental implant, there are two main
ways to replace missing teeth. The first
is with a removable false tooth or teeth
– a partial denture. The second is with
a fixed bridge. <br>
<br>
<strong>Bridges</strong> <br>
Missing teeth can cause problems in
biting, chewing and even speaking. Not
least a missing tooth doesn’t do a great
deal for your appearance. Bridges are
artificial teeth held together at both
ends by crowns. They are a quick
solution to filling the gaps left by
missing natural teeth. Each bridge is
customised for a patient, ensuring a
comfortable and long lasting fit. <br>
<br>
A bridge is usually used where there are
fewer teeth to replace, or when the
missing teeth are only on one side of
the mouth. Bridges are usually made of a
precious metal base. <br>
If the bridge will show, porcelain is
then bonded to the base. Sometimes,
there are other non-precious metals used
in the base to reduce the cost. <br>
You should replace missing teeth for a
number of reasons. Your appearance is
one reason. <br>
Another is that the gap left by a
missing tooth can mean greater strain is
put on the teeth at either side.<br>
A gap can also mean your ‘bite’ is
affected, because the teeth next to the
space can lean into the gap and alter
the way the upper and lower teeth bite
together.<br>
<br>
This can then lead to food getting
packed into the gap, which causes both
decay and gum disease.<br>
<br>
<a href="../implantology/">Implants</a> are a more robust treatment
for missing teeth and depending on your
particular circumstances, our
specialists can advise you on whether
you should consider this option. Our
<a href="../implantology/">implantology</a> section tells you more.
