Treatments

Does root canal treatment hurt?

Modern root canal treatment is done under local anaesthesia and usually feels similar to having a filling. It relieves the severe pain caused by an infected tooth. Mild tenderness for a day or two afterwards is normal.

How often should I visit the dentist?

Most people should have a dental check-up and cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease, braces or other ongoing treatment, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

When should my child first see a dentist?

A child's first dental visit is recommended by their first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits prevent cavities and help children feel comfortable at the dentist.

Are dental implants better than bridges?

Implants replace the tooth root and do not rely on neighbouring teeth, so they help preserve bone and healthy teeth. Bridges are quicker and can suit people who are not candidates for implants. The dentist will recommend the best option after an examination.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Professional whitening done under a dentist's supervision is safe for most adults. Some people feel temporary sensitivity. Whitening does not change the colour of crowns or fillings, which the dentist will discuss with you.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush?

Bleeding gums are most often an early sign of gum disease (gingivitis), caused by plaque along the gumline. A professional cleaning and better daily brushing and flossing usually reverse it. Do not ignore it, as untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss.
