If tooth decay is not treated, it can continue to spread deeper into the tooth. As it gets deeper, it is more likely to cause pain.

Early signs of tooth decay may include discomfort to sweet or cold foods and drinks. Pain to hot foods and drinks may be a sign of severe tooth decay.

If tooth decay travels into the nerve at the centre of the tooth, it can cause an infection and a toothache.

Following a tooth extraction, proper aftercare is essential to support healing and minimise discomfort.

On the day the tooth is removed:

- Bite down firmly on the gauze pad placed over the extraction site for a minimum of 30 minutes to help stop the bleeding.
- Avoid rinsing your mouth for the first 24 hours, as this can dislodge the clot that's forming.
- Steer clear of alcohol and ci******es for the first day.
- Once an hour has passed, you can eat and drink on the opposite side of your mouth, sticking to foods and beverages that aren't extremely hot or cold.
- Avoid swirling food or liquid around your mouth, which risks disturbing the healing clot.
- Take care not to accidentally bite your lip or cheek while the anaesthetic numbness wears off.

Dental implants offer an effective solution for replacing missing teeth while preserving a natural appearance and normal chewing function. The process involves surgically inserting a titanium post into the jawbone; once healing is complete, a crown matched in colour and shape to surrounding teeth is fitted onto the post, creating a durable, lasting replacement. For patients with loose-fitting or unstable dentures, implants can also serve as secure anchor points. This approach is versatile, suitable for replacing anything from one missing tooth to a full set.

It's important to check your baby’s teeth regularly (once a month) for early signs of tooth decay, because if tooth decay is identified early, it can be stopped. To check your baby’s teeth for tooth decay, lift their top lip and look at the front teeth.

White lines on the teeth, near the gum line, can be the start of tooth decay. If you notice any changes to your baby’s teeth, contact your dentist for advice.

Your teeth and mouth play a vital role in everyday functions such as chewing, drinking, breathing, talking and expressing yourself through smiling. Learn the essential steps for maintaining proper oral hygiene and dental health:

- Brush twice a day with a toothpaste that contains fluoride.
- Floss your teeth each day.
- Drink plenty of tap water and limit sugary or alcoholic drinks.
- Aim for a healthy balanced diet.
- Have regular check-ups with your dentist (usually every 6 to 12 months).
- Avoid smoking or va**ng.
- Reduce stress, in order to reduce the likelihood of teeth grinding, mouth ulcers and cold sores.

If you play a sport where there's a chance of injury to your teeth, you should wear a mouthguard. This includes activities like rugby, football or boxing.

Avoid mouth piercings, as they increase your chance of mouth infections. You can read more about mouth and tongue piercings.

Dentists take x-rays to help them to see under the surface of the teeth and gums. This helps them to find any dental diseases that they cannot see by only looking inside your mouth.

Although dental x-rays involve radiation, they use a very low level of radiation and they are safe to have. The amount of radiation you are exposed to during a dental x-ray is much less than what you are exposed to from other sources of radiation in your everyday life. Both children and adults can have dental x-rays safely taken.

Gum disease is a common oral health condition that affects the tissue surrounding and supporting the teeth. The early stage of gum disease is called gingivitis. Gingivitis is reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care. If left untreated, gingivitis can cause periodontitis, a more advanced stage of gum disease.
